You need to be close if you want the full 4K picture quality Experience. I have a 55" set and sit approx 3m away, Any further back and you loose the finer details of 4k. If people are interested in 4k I would recommend 65" for an average viewing distance of 4/5m. A pal of mine has a 47" 4k set and his back sofa is approx 6/7m away, Suffice to say the 4k finer aspects details are completely lost. One of the main reasons the rows in TV stores are close knit.

The models I've been looking at £2k at the bottom end and then towards £3.5k... it's too much money. If the 950 drops another £500 I could maybe justify that with some saving behind me, but even then... I don't think I'd go down the Atmos route myself but I'd have to factor in a new AVR - my current one can't decode HDR to my knowledge and I don't want to be tied into using the TV's own apps and piping out the sound to the amp - so I'd probably end up with Atmos capability anyway... The 960 has been reduced to £1799 at JL today mate... https://m.johnlewis.com/lg-55eg960v-curved-4k-ultra-hd-oled-3d-smart-tv-55-with-freeview-hd-built-in-wi-fi-harman-kardon-audio-2x-3d-glasses/p/1921663?s_afcid=af_47868&awc=1203_1466513556_a2692b53ffab4431c05c24b91fec94d5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted June 21, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2016 Why the aversion to curved screens? (Real question, I have no idea whether they're good or not. Genuinely interested) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely interested) I have one (Because LG OLED only made curved at the time) and it's pointless but not ruining. It's more a marketing ploy to show that screen doesn't have to be rigid and flat. Curving a screen makes sense if the area is massive (cinema size) and you sit in the middle to get good viewing angles. Makes no sense on a TV, and looks daft if you want to hang it on a wall.

Genuinely interested) As @Tegis kinda says, they are pure marketing guff. It's showing off that technology has advanced to the stage that you can curve the screen. But the curve is slight and normally exaggerated by the frame, its supposed to increase immersion but for that to be true on a home TV you'd need to be sat with your nose about an inch from the screen. Otherwise they mess up viewing angles, have problems with reflections and if you want to wall mount, it can be nightmare and ultimately looks dreadful. No, I'll take flat screen thanks. It'll be cheaper for the equivalent and has less flaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 21, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 21, 2016 Seems Hisense don't do their flagship model with a flat screen which is a shame. Would be tempted if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Depends what you're looking for, If you're not fussed about wanting full 4k and HDR then this is a decent set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah nah, looking at it it's not the set for me. Wouldn't mind one of their flagship screens to be honest, has all the bells and whistles, but just a curved screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 23, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 23, 2016 Worth nothing that one of Hisense's flagship models has a bizarre lean to the screen if you use the stand. It may not bother you but dependant on your set up at home worth bearing in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Hmm sure it said it was HDR when i posted the link. Trying to get proper specs for hisense stuff is difficult as their tv's are completely different in asia/australia/europe and there seems to be so many slight variations on model numbers with almost identical specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
