I recently purchased a Samsung "QLED" Q70A series TV that has exceeded expectations. Price was the main attraction. I'm seeing Black Friday sales on the same set now for $200 more than I paid.
They like Insight shafted me on delivery so I dropped both, cos I was beyond the wallstill on our approved supplier list.
^^^ Exactly, it’s a marketing thing, having HDR and all the bells and whistles means nowt if the Panel and CPU/DSP engines are crap or under powered. You have to spend a fair bit to get a really good set that does justice to the new high res content. Good thing is these days you don’t have to rely on a monthly mag or the WH Smith Saturday extended browse, ‘tis all out there on websites like AV Forums.I'm far from an expert but my understanding is that it's all about HDR and brightness, 1000 nits or about that level, some of those cheaper sets can't display HDR properly or indeed not at all so you really have to do your research.

Watch out for the LGs labelled LA and LB, for some it just means the stand is a different shade of silver on a few B=USB Time Shift Recording cos it has 2 triple tuners not 1.
It's more complicated than that. Samsung achieve HDR range by going very bright when needed. My TV never has strong daylight and my lighting not that bright, so that just does not work for me.I'm far from an expert but my understanding is that it's all about HDR and brightness, 1000 nits or about that level, some of those cheaper sets can't display HDR properly or indeed not at all so you really have to do your research.

On mine, the in-store price at Costco (a membership discount warehouse store) was hundreds less than the price advertised online. I also discovered that a 65" TV box would fit flat in a VW Golf, but I had to tie down the rear hatch.
The LA lets you attach a USB disk but is limited to chase play, the LB has another triple tuner so lets you time shift recordings like a PVR.I was aware of the cosmetic difference and that the LB version doesn't support WISA (a recent wireless audio option for connecting speakers without wires), but I wasn't aware of differences concerning tuners and recording. Can you please describe the differences in more detail, and which version is better equipped, the LA or the LB?

The only thing I watch on TV these days is Formula 1 highlights
is there any point in buying a TV if that's all you watch?

Any thoughts on this £638 at Costco?
