It took lots of research and review-reading to decide which tv, and I like to get the latest that I can afford in the hope of future-proofing (I keep appliances until they die). Limited space was another consideration. Most of the reviews said that the picture quality on this was incredible, so that was decision made. Given the price of this compared to basic models, I was expecting the wow-factor, so was slightly disappointed. That said, it’s a nice tv, with good picture quality. It was really easy to set up - even for someone with the tech abilities of a flea.
