Buying a 70-80 inch TV for under €1,200: a survival guide
Looking for a huge TV without breaking the bank? You're not alone. The request is clear: between 70 and 80 inches, a maximum budget of €1,200, and the eternal dilemma between LED, OLED and QLED. One recurring recommendation points to an 86-inch LG nanocell model that has been on sale for €900 at PcComponentes. A bargain on paper, but it's worth looking at the fine print.
Size versus picture quality
At the same price point, the classic dilemma: prioritize inches or panel technology? OLEDs offer perfect blacks and infinite contrast, but their longevity remains under suspicion for some intensive uses. QLEDs, theoretically more durable, and traditional LEDs keep prices more competitive. Those who have gone for the 86-inch LG nanocell point out that at €900 it's hard to find a similar size-to-price ratio, although they warn that picture quality doesn't match a high-end OLED.
The usage factor: what do you want it for?
Watching terrestrial TV is not the same as gaming at 120 Hz or viewing HDR content. For mostly watching series, movies and football, a large LED TV may be more than enough. The key is not to be swayed by size alone without checking brightness, viewing angles and the operating system. Brands like Sony, Samsung and LG offer wide catalogues in that price range.
In short, there are bargains out there, but make sure the low price doesn't hide compromises on essential antiestéticatures. And above all, make sure the TV fits on the wall — and in your relationship.
