Hi everyone,
After having spent some hours reading here I come for help with my first post.
I want to buy a TV - been living without it for the past 3 years, watching stuff on my laptop / iPad. Please excuse in advance the stupid questions, I've been reading a lot here to catch up on the latest tech developments.
I bought one 43" Hisense 7300 for black friday bargains but I figured out I had to move my sofa 1.5 meter closer to be able to enjoy properly a Netflix movie, so I returned it. After reading a lot it seems the Hisense H55U8B would be the right one for me. I like very much its design, can have it for 700€. I would not want to spend much more than that, otherwise the Sony XF/G9005 would have been better I guess (but more expensive). I do not want OLED since it's over budget and I plan to use it as monitor from time to time to WFH.
Depending on how I sit on the couch my eyes are between 2.6 and 3.2 meters from the screen. I often watch movies with subtitles, so I thought 55 would do well.
I don't watch sports, I don't play video games, my use will be a mix of Netflix, documentaries, AND quite a lot of old school movies from the 80's. I don't watch regular TV. I was wondering if 55 won't be too big since it will upscale SD content (or I need to find my favourite movies remastered, haven't looked if it even exists yet). But on the other hand, smaller (50"?) would not be so enjoyable for full HD / 4K content.
What is your take on my situation? Is 55 going to do? Any other model you would suggest for my use?
Thanks a lot for your contribution, I'm a bit lost here.
