55" vs 65" 4K Ultra HD TV's. (screen, Samsung, pixels)

[bobisinthehouse]

I wan't to buy one of these new 2017 model 4K Ultra HD TV's. Samsung is what I prefer. Here is my question.

1. Is there any difference, in picture quality, between a 55" and a 65" tv, where both have the exact same features?

I have a samsung 55" 4k and I sit about 10 feet away from screen , plenty big enough and no eye strain .

There could be differences, and they could be relevant, but you'd need to dig. Samsung won't tell you.

What you want to know is (1) what kind of panel? VA or IPS. They have different contrast, color and viewing angle properties; (2) the panel bit depth. 8 bit or 10? This affects the color depth (and sometimes gamut).

Finally, pixels are pixels, but HDR implementation can vary, even among a model line.

Go to a Best Buy or similar store and check the sizes out in person

great points that many miss. I wouldn’t buy anything but a 10-bit panel with HDR nowadays.

We have a Samsung 4k but unless you buy a 4k player and movies it’s really pointless since most things aren’t broadcast in 4k. I’d go as big as I could.

Which means upscaling is also important. But if you’re not THAT close, 1080p looks the same (except for 10-bit HDR). I have an 80” 1080p in my living room and we sit 12-13’ away.

If you are a Costco member you will get an extra one year warranty if you buy it there. If you apply for and use their Citi credit card they add another two years. 3 year extended warranty.
