Dads tv crapped out and he wants to upgrade to a 70 inch

He doesn’t want to spend over 1000 with tax so I found these two at Best Buy with great reviews. Any comments on these two?

I have bought both of them. I hated the Samsung it kept losing connection to my WiFi and the picture to me was not all that great. I took it back and bought that exact LG and have loved it so far. Had it about 2 months. Plus it’s got the magic remote

You’ll have less options with 70 inch. 65 and 75 are way more common sizes

i'd break the budget a tad and get the 75" TCL series 6

or be satisfied with 65" and get the amazing just-released new QLED series 6 for $800

It sits in a wall cutout for the tv and it’s only 68 inches wide and the tv has to be slightly turned

Most of the 75s are too tight and he already has a 65 and wants something a tad bigger

I was curious if given the choice of the two which you’d pick

go check out that 65" TCL in person. the NEW one; 2020 model. he might be satisifed with 65" when he sees how gorgeous the picture is.

Update- Went to Best Buy and he now wants a 75

He doesn’t want to spend over 1500. What do you suggest?

I’m really pushing the TCL. My dad is old school and hung up on Brand names like Sony and Samsung. He doesn’t like the new kid on the block approach.

show him the reviews on the new 2020 QLED. it blows away anything at twice the price.

His biggest thing is motion blur and dark blacks. He’s coming from a plasma and watches a ton of sports

QLED and 120 is going to be the best at addressing these 2 things by far; LED tvs are finally getting close to where plasma was on blacks years ago. show him the reviews of the 2020 TCL and tell him he's buying a TV that is literally just hitting shelves as we speak.

I’m all for it. Do you have any type of review that backs your claims I bet I can send him?

Not familiar, are the HISENSE TVs a good buy? How is the quality?

Got one for the bedroom a few months back because it had the roku tv built in. Pretty good for a $700 75" tv.
