    Had a feeling this might be the case. But LG are doing some great TV's within this budget. New Sony's also look good.

    Samsung JS8000 if you want flat or JS8500 if you don't mind curved.

    However stretch to the JS9000 if you can.

    Hisense 55 or 65 K720. It's a FALD with a fantastic. Picture, currently 970 on Amazon. It's curved but you don't notice it at unless sitting at a 45 degree or angle.

    Possibility of HDR as well.

    I saw life of pi demo on a js9k in currys and the night starry scene was crystal clear on the k720 in comparison.

    The only downsize is to get the best PQ you need to set it up, outbox it's not good

    I'm sorry, but you know better than that.

    Just because 1 set looks better in shop, doesn't mean it is.

    Unless you have the money to buy an LG 4K oled, the rest are all edge lit Lcd and (as long as they have hdr) are all in the same ballpark ( although Samsung marketing will spend more than the rest of the industry to convince you otherwise) so choose the one that fits your budget and looks,good to you.

    Retail outlets tend to show TVs using particular Bluray/DVDs or cartoon content where there is not a lot graduation in colour. They will also tend to set-up the TV with the largest profit margin better than the ones where they make less profit[1]. Most TVs come with shop and home default setting with the shop setting designed to give a more 'punchy' picture that you would soon tire of in the home environment. Even the home default settings often can be much improved.

    What you should also consider when buying a TV is what you will will watching most. Will it be the over-compressed poor bit-rate SD broadcasts? If so you need to consider the quality of the image processing engine in the TV and perhaps the quality of the up-scaling.

    Viewing a TV in a retail outlet may help in eliminating some models. Always check the viewing angles and the quality of the picture at different angles. Don't just stand in front of the TV, move to the side and see if the picture degrades (contrast or colour changes). If you are going to install it on a wall above eye height when seated bend down in the shop a view the screen looking up to check for picture changes. In most domestic environments there will be only one seat in the optimal viewing position.

    Don't assume that if brand X's flagship mega-inch TV uses that best screen technology in the world that all TVs with different screen sizes from brand X (and in the same range) use the same technology.

    [1] The worst shop display I've seen was when they were trying to sell a £100 gold plated, snake oil, connection lead. Two TVs showing the same picture, one set up perfectly and the other with washed out colour and poor contrast. Guess which TV was connected with the £100 cable?
