Hi, my parents want to buy new TV and they want to buy something 80"+

They want to buy  Samsung UE82NU8002. It cost's around 2635 usd. Do you know any alternatives to this TV? With around similar price +/- 500 usd and not Samsung?

 

Why not Samsung? I read that they are actually displaying ads on TV in menus, so screw them, if I can find something in similar price that also has good display quality and without displaying ads that would be great.

It would also be nice if it had good HDR capabilities.

You're going to be upset when you start your LG TV for the first time and have to hit AGREE...

I haven't heard of LG displaying ADs in menus. Is it new industry standard?

That would be a shame because the TV @star_pilot475 proposed looked promising.

It is available as 86UK6500PLA in my country, but I believe it's the same model.

No, they just come out and say they're collecting data.

 

Ads in menus aren't a big deal comparatively.  I know it's a slippery slow and probably indicative of things to come but I wouldn't not get a TV brand because of it.

 

Especially when their are so very few actual TV's in your price range in that size.

Well I have to read their privacy policies then, but I believe Samsung is also collecting data. I will see which one is worse. If they are comparable I think TV without ads would be better.

 

Well, this industry is really bad. Why would TV need to collect so much data :/
