    LG 55" - OLED55C8PLA - to be precise. It's amazing. Watching The Expanse in 4K is great, and the Seven Worlds, One Planet on iPlayer is stunning.

    Only complaint? The save to USB/disk seems not to work well at all, and stops if you change channel or even open the EPG. Might just be me being dumb, but I'll stick to an external PVR.

    A hisense 47" 4K (non-HDR) model. Does a great job and was cheap. Only replaced the last TV when the HDMI ports broke. Will only replace this one when it breaks.

    Hands down OLED is the way to go the picture is just stunning with deep blacks and vibrant colours.
    Like 3D HDR can look amazing but also very average it needs to be implemented correctly.
    4k resolution is hardly worth it at 55" screen size you really need 65"+
    8k is years aways I mean Sky still charge extra for HD which is laughable!
    I won't be changing for a while yet.
    Same model here, also on a deal.
    Brilliant TV.
    OLED is the way to go.

    Re: QOTW: Which TV do you own?

    5 year old 60 inch Sony 1080P set (wall mounted) in the living room. We sit about 4m away- it seemed BIG when we got it but I'm now hoping it packs up this year so I can get a 70 inch 4K set. It's been okay. Cost about a grand when we got it, didn't go for a 4K set as they were mad prices and the spec hadn't properly settled down.

    An LG 49" cheapo 4k somethingsomethingsomething. I mainly bought it because (my old TV packed in) it had a satellite in for Freesat (our house has no conventional aerial) and WebOS 3 was well reviewed.

    If that TV packs up, as it no doubt will sooner or later, then I'll have to consider the options .... which will include a no-doubt expensive repair, or even a second-hand suitable Scart-equipped TV .... if I can find one. If all else fails, I might have to go the converter route.
    I'm not even going to mention the abysmal quality through scart... oh I did

    Re: QOTW: Which TV do you own?

    "Samsung UE55KS7000 Smart 4k Ultra HD HDR 55" which keeps us very happy. We watch loads of films on Plex and stuff on YouTube on it. We just wish that when the software bugs out, the TV didn't require a full reset. E.g. icons getting stuck on screen no matter what app etc. Or Apps being permanently un-openable after a likely catastrophic error occurred. When PS5 Comes out this year hopefully we'll use that as a SMART TV upgrade to take some of the heavier tasks off the TVs ageing processor. It can't handle some newer formats, filetypes and subtitles now.

    Re: QOTW: Which TV do you own?

    Hisense 55 4k - very pleased with it.

    4x HDMI (Scart if you need it), and got it cheap as an warranty upgrade to a Blaupunkt TV with a broken backlight.

    Only used as a screen, no aerial connected, just Virgin Box, Chromecast and Vero4k+ media player.
