55 inch TV recommendation

[little wing]

Hello all,

Looking for a 55 inch TV recommdation for bedroom. Not a bright room. Cutains, no direct sunlight. Viewing distance anywhere between 4 1/2 to 7 feet. Don't really want to go higer then $700. Already have a roku, so streaming options not important. Probably will use a soundbar. No gaming. Movies, Netflix, etc, some sports.
Thanks for any help.

This is what I have looked at so far.

Sony - 55" Class BRAVIA 2 II LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV (2025)

Samsung - 55” Class Q8F Series QLED 4K UHD SamsungVision AI Smart Tizen TV (2025)

I might look at a tcl option. Their newer TVs are getting good reviews, though I don’t know as much about the lower tiers.

Wow prices went down alot?? My old Sony 55” non hdr was like $1100 in 2015. Tough choice between those and lg.

Was kinda thinking I wanted to stay with a Sony, Samsung, or LG, but I'll take a look.
Thanks

If you are patient, you can probably get an 55" LG OLED in your budget, I've seen the B series as low as $699 and I'm still kicking myself for not grabbing one. Hoping with Black Friday around the corner I can snag one. I have the 65" C4 in my living room and an older 48" Vizio 4K in my bedroom and the difference is pretty dramatic.

TCL seems to be doing a lot right, and their upper tier options are holding their own against Sony in most categories rtings scores. I think processing capabilities is almost always going to go to Sony, but after that… many companies are knocking on the door.

I would go for their 2025 model QM7K. I have their 2024 model QM751G mini Led model. with outstanding picture quality.
