If I were buying a new TV right now, I would be going for Mini LED for maximum brightness with HDR and Dolby Vision content.

Not only that but Mini LED has improved black levels enough to be very competitive with OLED now. Hisense is bringing Mini LED to the budget range. $700 for a 55".
Your point about what you want is what makes giving TV recommendations so difficult. Everyone has their own priorities, content they watch, room conditions... It's impossible to just say get X.
My general recommendation is to get the biggest TV you can afford. Even if it means dropping down some in quality. An 85" good TV is more appealing to me than a 55" great TV.
I'm patiently waiting for TCL to make their 98" TV a little more affordable.

I got the 65” Vizio quantum a few years back and love it. Half the price of the Samsungs as well. Not sure if they have a different model than the quantum’s or not now. It was the best model available 3 years ago

Should have bought a TCL

so the wife shot down the extra expenses on the art TV........
So will likely follow the research that was shared here and find a TV that will get the job done.
Down the road when we have less projects going on, will look to get this setup though.

completely understand. you are paying a premium for a tv that has middle-of-the-road features because it has a fancy form-factor.

ok sorry its not 'invisible'. its a thin clear cable about the thickness of a piece of spaghetti that connects to the back of your tv and handles all HDMI, ARC, optical, USB, ethernet & power requirements for the tv that then plugs into a large box somewhere else that has all those things.
why are you like this?
Posted on 8/26/22 at 3:24 pm to CAD703X
I hate the one connected cables. But hey, they are invisible.

i love not having to connect anything on the back of the TV even a power cord.
i haven't had a single issue so not sure what you're hating on. so convenient having the box located somewhere else entirely that is easy to get to and plug stuff in. so much better than climbing behind a tv on the wall and blindly fumbling around for the various input ports.

It’s a pain in the arse for many applications

the only pain in the arse about the frame wiring is if you planned for in the wall wiring pull and you planned on hdmi. the plug on the frame is wider, other than that, not sure how it could be a pain in the arse.
hook up surround sound and cat6 is all you should be really worrying about for a "tech baw"
as far as the extra expense for the frame....its worth it if your wife likes the look of it and it keeps her happy or you have an exteremly nice house that would look a little funny with a huge tv hung over the fireplace.
when building my new house, the frame was a compromise for the wife and myself. The house is nice enough(not a brag, dont take that away) that it would not look good having a huge tv hung above the fireplace. Wife wanted a portrait there and TV in a built in. Would have forced us to have a small tv and we watch lots of live sports so the frame is perfect.
are you paying more for a middle of the road tv? absolutely, but its a great compromise and if done right looks way way way fricking better than a normal tv, especially when not in use and you have a family portrait there on the screen.
most dont even know its a tv until you turn it on.

everything 777 said. its a great product even if its not a'cutting edge' tv panel its still a very good looking picture.
we put ours on a wall that didn't have an existing power outlet or conduit for media cables and it was a breeze. center & screw in bracket, plug in the "invisible wire" tigerwise hates and drill a tiny hole in the wall behind the tv for the wire. tv 'snaps' flush against the wall thanks to an ingenius 'floating' bracket mount & magnets. literally no thicker than any artwork.
then you can play with that big ugly black box to your heart's content. i shuttle photos to it on a USB stick, nintendo is plugged in; SONOS beam plugged into eARC, cat6 wire, power plug..all ridiculously easy to manage. forget where something is or need something else plugged in? Just pick up the box and flip the back up so you can see everything.
no trying to slide behind a tv on a wall and frick with stuff and jam hdmi cables towards ports you cant fricking see and hope its facing the right direction and you aren't breaking anything. HDMI and USB and OPTICAL are STUPID AS shite for having to put them in one way only. oh an my favorite..you think you measured correctly for a 6 foot hdmi cable only to find out its too short because you didn't take the wall and lead out to the other device into consideration and you have to order another one. oh and its so much fun when its time to run ANOTHER HDMI cable because you have something new you need to connect. i love taking the tv down and the absolute joy of trying to fish a new cable through that giant black spaghetti monster of cables already sticking out of the conduit and getting everything reconnected while someone else holds the TV up!
a more civilized way of managing TV inputs & outputs.

yea i actually love the box and how flush it fits tv. I built my house not too long ago and ran flex tubing with a sting in it to pull the wire through. i assumed hdmi width i was wrong, but it was an easy fix.
but the box being able to hide in the cabinet and get to easily is way better than it being built into tv.
and i love a tv in the living room but this shite looks way better, especially if you spend the extra money and put the nice art framework around it. much much better and im anything but pretensious.

our den is 'odd' (see pic on previous page) and we still wanted a tv so this worked perfectly in that off-center inset wall near our fireplace.
this isn't our media room but its next to the kitchen so i wanted to be able to watch football and crap while i'm cooking and the wife LOVED the idea of it looking like part of the decor when we weren't watching it.

yep works awesome where you have it. we have built in similar to how yours is and we would have had to put into that and behind cabinet doors. ours was an amazing compromise.

Unless you have a cabinet within 15 feet of the install it is a pain. You have to cut a box in the wall or buy the 50 ft cable.
I own a 65 inch and have it in my living room. Not knocking the TV, it’s a neat piece. But the “invisible cable” ain’t some magical selling point.

who doesn't keep their tv components within 15 feet of the tv?
are you seriously suggesting that buying the '50 foot' cable is somehow more of a burden than buying several 50 foot hdmi & other assorted cables to string to your 'remote' location directly from the tv? how in the world is that less of a hassle? please show your work on a tv cbainet setup "greater than 15 feet" with traditional cables that is less of a burden than the one wire samsung.
you're not making any sense.
