    £2000 to spend on a BIG TV, need help and suggestions

    I have been told to buy a TV at work with a budget of £2000 (just on the TV itself)

    It has to be 65 inch or bigger (the bigger the better) flat so not a curved one, and support Miracast and do it well.

    To anyone with Miracast experience is there anything to watch out for. In this case the people will connect from their Dell 4k laptops.

    Other than that there are no big demands but of course the better it is, all the better.

    What is rated well at the mo and also what ones should I stay away from brand or series in a brand etc.

    cheers

    If it doesn't have miracast built-in, looks like it's trivially inexpensive to use an hdmi dongle.

    If you can, convince your higher-ups either to splurge on this or wait for it to come down in price:

    At the end of the day though, for business purposes, unless your company *needs* to impress highly tech-savvy clients with the best of the best, fapping over the best tech and spending as much as you can doesn't make sense, assuming you work for a small business, in which case, probably go for something like this http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/tv-and-...160721184630:s

    The budget is 2000 and there is no need to save money.

    Part of the problem is I would never spend that kind of money on a TV unless I was loaded, which unfortunately I am not. As such I havent had much interest in the tech at that level so I am but not sure what differentiates them.

    It seems HDR is the current big thing and 10 bit panels are what seem to push the price up. Other than that I can't tell what's what.

    It seems that anything bigger than 65 jacks the price up significantly.

    There is a Samsung in currys for 1999 at the mo which is 70 but a review stated it was every level, but what is every level at that level of tv? They didn't actually explain why.

    So this is the current likely candidate as I can't find anything as big at that price.
