I want to buy a 65 inch to 75 inch ish TV, I know OLED is better but I wonder is it worth the extra money? I went into my local TV shop but to compare them. This wasn't very successful because the sets were different sizes and the OLED on display was a top of the range 77 inch model, pulled forward etc. So I came away wanting that one but it was £5000, which is more than I wanted to spend.

I will be viewing it from 12 to 13 feet away so I need (*ahem* - want) a large screen. It seems a 65inch OLED is about £1000 more than the same size LED, and bigger than that they get rather expensive.

Have anyone upgraded or done a proper comparison test between large screens and is it worth it? I will be watching mostly films and TV series, so very little sport and no "general TV" like the news or soaps.

I nipped out to a big Currys at lunchtime to compare them. OLED is better isn't it! For my budget I am now trying to decide between smaller OLED or big LED - It's looking like 65 vs 75 inches (it is a big room). How do feel about that?

Thanks for all the advice so far chaps.
