Dear all
I'm looking to replacing a 55" Panasonic Plasma from roughly 5 years ago. What do we currently acknowledge as the best 55" tv, please?
Sound and viewing angle won't be a consideration as will be used as a monitor only sitting directly in front.
It will be used for TV series, film and sport from Sky, Netflix and Amazon and will be used mainly in the evening in a darkened room (hence me looking towards OLED)
Currently looking at 4 options
Philips 55 OLED805
Panasonic 55HZ1000
LG 55CX
Sony KD55A8
What is our preference?
thank you for advise

Just by way of an update, I went for the Phillips 55"OLED508
I'm really pleased with it. The set itself is quite small due to there being very little frame or surround to the actual picture screen. I actually measured it and it's a full 4" smaller the Panasonic VT65 plasma it replaced with a viewing screen the same size.
The picture is quite different to the plasma, much more realistic looking especially with 4k, You look at the picture and in certain scenes it appears as if you could actually reach out and touch elements in the film, quite amazing. Having said that, I think I actually prefer 1080p content to the full 4k, it just has a more cinematic type quality than ultra realism. I guess it's just what you prefer.
I'm noticing some artifacts within the picture during fast movement though, I've played a bit with the noise reduction but without success. I think I might go for a professional calibration to get to set up properly to try and eliminate such imperfections.
On the whole, a very nice screen
