85” or bigger tele
Discussion
Yes council I know. But it is for the dedicated tv / cinema room. I don’t want a projector and the tv in the photo below is 75”. I’d want it to be under £2k it doesn’t need audio as it all goes via an av amp. I’m not a super high quality tell the difference expert but can see the difference between the oled and normal led screens elsewhere in the house. So needs to be decent but clearly I won’t get a giant oled for the price ! Is something a QE85Q60TAUXX Samsung any good or what would folks advise?

Sit nearer the tv? 
Don't get the Q60T, it's pretty crap.
Also be aware that the 2020 Samsung TVs are worse than their equivalent 2019 counterparts. E.g.:
2019 Q70R = 2020 Q80T etc etc.
We have just grabbed an 85 Q70T and it's pretty good. We sit at 5.5m+ so really need an 85" and it's excellent for everyday viewing. When you have some mostly grey or black screens you can tell it only has edge lit LEDs and the uniformity isn't perfect, but it cost under £2.3k and we're comparing to our 2019 75Q90R in the kitchen, which is incredible.
But be aware that if you were to get the Q80T, then it doesn't have the anti reflection coating and some other bits, but does have rear LED lighting. In an 85" size it will add £1k from Q70T - Q80T, which in my eyes just isn't worth it.
It all depends on budget really.
