Video Suggestion Needed for a 55" 4K UHD LED TV

Hello Folks,

My VU 55" 4K UHD LED TV died last month (on Christmas Eve!) sadly after 8 years of solid service . Was watching a show on it and suddenly a black curtain like image ever so slowly veiled the screen and then it was gone, just like that! Now all I get is purple and green bars across the screen when I turn it on. Guess the panel is toast and I don't want to replace it because it simple isn't worth it. What a heart breaker!

So, now I need a new 55" 4K UHD TV. Usage is primarily for: Connecting to my Laptop via HDMI and watching movies and shows and also LIVE streaming Cricket and Tennis. Oh and for occasional cable TV via Hathway HD set-top box.

My budget is around 35k.

Kindly suggest what I can go for. With the Amazon Great Republic Day Sale coming up I plan on buying it so links from Amazon would be very much appreciated.

Thanks :)
 
I think the new Acer super series one looks good and has also been reviewed by digit, currently at 43k but did previously sell at 36k. Looks like the panel is good but don't know much about the after sales service.

You can also go for the LG UR7500PSC, but you don't have control over you getting a VA or IPS panel both of which have drastic differences in terms of contrast ratio. Otherwise it is a good option as well.

Thank-you good folks for all the replies and links above, appreciate it!

I'm thinking of picking up a 55" Hisense:

Hisense 139 cm (55 inches) E6N Series 4K Ultra HD Smart LED Google TV 55E6N (Black)

I'm not really too bothered about the audio quality of the TV speakers because I will be attaching an Edifier R1700 with it for audio output.

About TCL panels: I'm reading a lot of negative reviews on Amazon on their 55" models... are those fake reviews?

If you can up your budget a little, with the right cards/offers, base line true HDR capability would be within reach with models like Toshiba M650MP and Hisense Q7N. I'd say don't miss out if the price difference seems reasonable enough.

TCL panels sold in India are low-grade crap compared to the US.

Better buy Sony or Samsung.
