65" 4K TV - Budget 1k

LTasJacks on 16/11/2020 - 07:01

Ready to spend maximum 1k on a TV. Would prefer a 65" 4K TV - Sony, Samsung, LG, Hisense. My requirement would be just basic Netflix/Prime/YouTube along with sports. Anyone else in the same boat as me for this Black Friday having suggestions?

Currently, Hisense 65S8 is on 1095 (usually 1395) and I'm hoping this drops further to maybe 945. But I've read that its entry level and not that great.

I have these in my list so far (hoping for them to drop to 1-1.1k)
Samsung TU8000 65"
Sony X7000G 65"
LG UN7300 65"

Any other TVs I need to keep an eye out for?

    I have the 55" Hisense S8 and it's great for sport and is even doing great with my mate's PS5

    In the same boat. Have been looking at TCL 65" P615 as it gets good reviews and can get now for about $830 after vouchers. Would like to get OLED, but I think even for Black Friday sales is a bit optimistic for this price range. Will take a look at Hisense to see how they compare with TCL.

        AGL rewards have 5% off for The Good Guys and 7% off for Betta. TGG were having 10% off but I think that's finished now.

    Seems there is a few of us in the market at the moment. I was looking at the TU8000 series and most likely pulling the trigger around Black Friday.

    Interested to see peoples recommendations.

    I believe, generally speaking, TCL & Hisense usually deliver better products for value compared to the budget TVs from Samsung, LG & Sony.

    You could also wait for Black Friday & hope for something like a Samsung QLED to drop below $1000.

    Was looking at the OLED and QLED at JB Hi Fi and yeh the blacks do look nice in comparison. All the screens were playing the same blu ray and you could quite easily see the difference. Not sure if comparing in the store is really a good test with the demo modes they set the tvs on though…
