Best 55-65" tv for a bright room ?

This could open the flood gates but we have quite a bright living room. We've had a techwood 55" tv for 5 years and I can honestly say its been brilliant. In the dark the colours and definition are still excellent but something has been failing in terms of brightness for about 6 months now and watching dark movies is a no no ( lol )

Anyway ideally around the £5-800 mark but would go higher if its special.

55 to 65"

We watch movies, sports etc

What about 

TCL C855K (65C855K) vs&nbsp;<span>TCL C855K (65C855K)</span>

    Not the latest model but it has all their best tech, now much reduced and to get the VIP price all you have to do is register.

    I bought this TV in December and it is brilliant.

    Just a general comment, OLED is much better for contrast (black looking black rather than grey ) than LED (QLED or whatever the brand call their LED TV’s ) , not that there is anything wrong with LED TV’s but in a bright room OLED may be a better bet , OLED  is considered to be the best type of screen tech .

    The latest OLED sets may be good enough for very bright room viewing - but when I bought my lounge TV ~ 5 years ago, I compared QLED and OLED and the best QLED sets with anti glare tech. were much more viewable in daylight than OLED.- Also a budget of £5-800 will not get anywhere near the purchase price of a 65" OLED set.

    My mini LED TV has much greater peak brightness than OLED TVs costing 2-3 times as much.

    Unless you are a hypercritical professional TV reviewer, all the blacks on my TV are black, LOL.

    Perhaps I’m biased, but my OLED TV displays black as black , every LED screen I’ve seen black isn’t truly black , but as stated I’m not critical, I’ve 4 TV’s  around the house , including ‘fancy’ LED technology,  only one is OLED and is easily the better one , but  the others are absolutely fine , and deliver perfectly acceptable pictures,  I doubt you will find any ‘professional’ reviews from publications or retailers that put QLED or any version of it ahead of OLED in a direct comparison , but I’d agree that for most that the  £1000 - £1500 for a modest size OLED screen is probably not worth the expense compared to a similar size QLED/LED screen that’s half the price….horses for courses , but as the OP states it a bright room , the superior contrast may be worthwhile.

    LED cannot fully turn off , so black can never be truly black on a LED screen .
