New tv - wait for CES announcements or grab a "deal" now?

So the title pretty much says it all to be honest

With this being the first time I can kinda splurge on a new tv, I'm wondering, Is it best to wait for CES announcements or get a new tv now while the "deals" are on?

 

New / upgraded set for standard prices or grab a last gen tv at a slightly better price? 

 

Also can I get a 2023 set recommendation for a mid-end that has nice blacks but also vibrant colours? 

 

I'm stuck what to do but I'm 100% set on wanting an OLED some time soon. No idea if new OLED tech is coming out as this could completely change my decision (IE new tech = cheaper older sets)

Depends on your budget. High end tvs are gonna get improvements, just depends on if you find them to be worth it. Most are gonna be TBD on date of shipping, usually if its announced now, its out within 4-6 months. Rarely do they ever have them ready to ship as soon as they announce them in enough number.

If they're not shipping for quite a while would you say getting one now is not bad idea? I'm guessing would be around that time before prices dip a bit more than they are at the moment

Most of the time TVS are good enough for the VAST majority of people. Unless you have uber specific things that you need, doing a bit of research to find which ones have the least amount of issues, pretty much most of the popular models are fine.

I get down a rabbit hole and a half when looking into it all but I think I need take note of that tbh. I'll be going from a Samsung "crystal UHD" so really anything will look awesome compared to it

Normally CES announcement TV will only able to buy in next half year. If you can wait and willing paid more for new release cost then wait, but don’t repeat ever year as then you forever buy nothing at the end.
