After several years, i'm now finally looking to move on from my Panasonic Plasma TX-P50VT65B, the main reasons are to upgrade the screen size, to enjoy 4k content and HDR. I want a TV that will give me the colours and contrast that the Plasma displays, whilst getting a more immersive experience with the larger screen size.
Now my shortlist is for a replacement is either an OLED such as the Sony AG8 / LG CX, or a Sony XH950 FALD LED.
My preferred choice is to go OLED, but it will be in a relatively bright room which does have 'some' direct sunlight (through vertical blinds) in the height of summer which worries me a little with regards the sunlight damaging the panel and also potential OLED screen degradation over time.
The sensible choice would be to go for the FALD LED, but I was less than impressed upon the brief viewing at my local Currys - I was hoping it would in some way match the contrast of my Plasma but it seemed to fall way short in way too many areas.
Relative brightness isn't the ultimate decision maker, as i'm more than use to the Plasmas dim brightness output already
Was I being unfairly harsh on the XH950? Or is OLED my only real choice?
