In my home office I have a 2008 Samsung 46 inch 720p TV that is starting to die (periodically gets a vertical black line about a third in - not awful but annoying) and the thing is ancient - I probably got my money's worth.
In my family room I have a 50 inch Samsung UN50H5203AFXZA (so mid level from about 2015). That TV would fit into the cabinet from the old 46 inch, so I was thinking of replacing the family room set with a 65 or 75 inch - the wall mount there is properly mounted and rated to 100lbs, so most 75 inch TVs should fit.
Right now, the source is FIOS via TIVO. At some point I might cut the cable if I can find a streaming service that has what I want (Sling?). Locals come in great with a cheap $10 antenna - some Netflix and Amazon, but primarily FIOS.
One concern is that my 97 year old mom lives with us and I don't want to introduce some sort of new system (push here to select local channels, then here for Sling TV that gives you these channels and so forth) - we've had TIVO for probably 10 years so everyone knows how it works.
I'm thinking about the Samsung 75" - TU700D Series - 4K UHD LED LCD TV for about $850 or the Samsung 75" Class - Q6 Series - 4K UHD QLED LCD for about $1100.
I'm not set on Samsung, but I have three other Samsungs in the house and if I can't find a TIvO remote, I can just grab one from a different TV and carry on, but if there is a compelling reason to buy something else (LG/Sony/TCL etc) then I'd certainly listen.
Any thoughts?
