Hi All
Think it's time to replace my 20 year old plasma (purchased at £3600), back then everyone laughed stating it only lasts 9000 hours or whatever it was, plus leaves marks on screen if left on same channel to long, i would have to play the fuzzy no signal b&w screen for hours to remove it....lol
Anyway what out there, i don't game at all and tbh i don't want to spend much as i only watch films in HD or UHD, i just stream it at 720p usually so i'm even questioning upgrading tbh but ive wiped the bloody reflective film off it using some old glass cleaner containing ammonia, so it has a blob (iy=ts ok at night though/not visible).
I want to spend around £700, ive had a read about QLED being to harsh on the eyes, seem some PRE black friday, some with Alexa/voice commands etc..
One thing i do know is that i will need a soundbar (i do a full surround sound inc centre speaker/bass etc and 4 speakers) but i never use it, don't like it tbh.
My Plasma had to big fook off speakers and are loud/bassy so no need atm...
Tbh after writing this i'm questioning even upgrading, as if i have standard TV on it just through an aerial, the only gain i suppose is larger size and much better picture when streaming films/series.
I looked at this Samsung but the one with Alexa or whatever is cheaper?

Anyone buying in the sales or have any advice?
