if you watch a lot of sports get one with at least a 240 refresh rate

Research distance to TV vs resolution. Anything over 12 feet and your visual acuity doesn't pick up the detail of 4K, but up close it's awesome. The limited 4K content at the time made me wait. Unless you are streaming a lot of data (might need a wifi upgrade) there's not any reasonably priced content out there. I have a Sharp, Visio, and a Samsung and they are all pretty close. They have enough picture refinement controls to look how ever you want. Refresh rate is the key for sports and gaming. Price and warranty ended up being the only real factors for me. The curve never got me excited, seemed awkward in the store but supposedly there's science behind it. I went flat.

If you care about reduced motion-blurring and want deep, dark blacks, then I suggest you look at OLED. Two years ago LG had the best OLED panels on the market but I’m not sure if that’s still the case.

QLED is simply a marketing gimmick for LED panels.

AVSforum.net is a good place to geek out on this type of stuff.

I guess we know what some people are spending their profit sharing on :D

OLED is next gen plasma so yes if you are a videophile then OLED is way better than Samsung. LG is the best there is.

330 Captains could buy 5 or 6 new TVs with their profit sharing.

Thanks everyone. All the TVs I’m considering are very good and all do/have basically the same features. I’m leaning heavily towards the Samsung Q80R mainly because of the glare resistance. It’s going in a great room with some big windows that faces southwest. So the possibility of glare is high on the list.

I will look at them. Thanks. I do watch some sports but gaming is really not a factor for me. My biggest problem is gonna be gonna be getting hi speed internet to this location. It’s up on north Whidbey Island in WA. Thanks again for the info.

I have the 75" version and love it.

Seattle? Glare from what?
