Guys, I’m looking for some TV advice. I am a Costco member and they have some TVs 55-60”. Im just not sure what I need. It will be going over my mantle with a pull down mount. Most of the TVs are confusing, I’m no techie. They say trumotion 120 but they’re really 60 hz. ?? Is this a difference I should be concerned about? I watch my baseball and football, but mostly movies. Will a Samsung or LG fit my bill??
Samsung 55UN55NU710DFXZA
LG 60UK6090PUA
Any Thoughts ??? Again not a techie or a gamer, I didn’t think buying a TV would be so confusing Thanks!!
500-700$
But have to agree that Samsungs are very nice.

I can second the TCL rec. Great to for the cost and the built in Roku works very well. Got a 55" and a 65".

I never heard of TCL, again not a techie and is Roku the apps like a fire stick??

55 inch from Costco. Was $400. Great picture and the built in Roku is pretty nice.

Yes, Roku is a streaming device like a fire stick, but it is built in to the TCL. I prefer it over the firestick I have on another tv.
Either TV is really good. All depends on budget.
I'd rather take that $700 and put it towards a top end unit from Vizio or TCL than a bottom tier unit from Samsung.

Yeah there is but once again we see how reading comp isn't an Internet strong suit. OP lists his budget and sizes he can fit in the space he has and we're seeing suggestions more than double his budget and 10" bigger taboot. Lol.
Of course if you double the refresh rate, the picture should be much clearer.
You should be able to go to Costco and just observe the brands on display which are showing the same video to see the picture quality differences.
I would look for the 55 version of this tv or target the 65/55 Samsung NU8000. They may still have this one at your local Costco and is only slightly worse across the board compared to the Q6FN. This is the one I would look for. They are both pretty significant upgrades to the LG you mentioned. The LG SK8/9 models are more in line.
If you move away from Samsung, the TCL 6 series is probably your best bang for buck out there. Many of the TVs have panel issues so it’s a bit of a coin flip there which I didn’t want to deal with.. Vizio also offers a lot for the money but they don’t upscale well (cable tv).
Hopefully that helps a bit.
And
Sony XBR-55X850G/C
Both in the $1000 range and both true 120 hz, any thoughts?

Thanks will look to see if they have that one also
I have a Vizio from Costco. Had it literally for 10 years - not 1 problem.
I thought I read somewhere once that there are only like 5 companies that actually manufacture the screens and the other companies buy the screens from them and put their own name on them.
Thank you for all your help and suggestions!!!
