Looking for a 55" 4K

[TheMastr13]

Does anybody have any recommendations for the best inexpensive (less than $1000 USD) 4K 55" tv? Here's what I'm looking for:

 

-good backlight for daytime or nighttime use

-good viewing angles

-HDMI ARC compatible

-smart functions that are easy to use, and can be controlled by a Logitech Harmony universal infrared remote (so the Vizio tablet thing won't work)

-available on Amazon 

 

Thanks!

Yeah I've been wanting to upgrade from my 32" 720p TV to something nice, but idk if I want to spend $1,000...If I buy a TV there's no sense in buying 1080p now days...

You could get the SUHD if you want a wider range of colors or so...but you lack some features for Smart Hub or so when going for the "cheaper" SUHD TV over the UHD TV models.

I'd bought the JS7000 60 Inch a few months ago for 1100, right around when they cleared the shelf for the 2016 models. 

Love the JS7000, looks good.

Considered one but decided a normal TV was better, as it was cheaper and the Curved TVs weren't on sale anyway.

I only view it from one angle anyway.

well, you view it from many angles, depending on what part of the screen you look at...

thats why curved is becoming a thing

 

but if you sit far away from it then the angles become smaller

 

you're just using yours at regular TV distance right?

Yeah, just at a regular distance.

Did a comparison and found flat to be suited for my needs.

yeah, i need mine as a monitor, so a curse would be really great

right now if I look at the edges of my screen its like a 30 degree angle off center lol

I could use a 32 inch TV as my monitor but 20 inch is fine for me. Plus lack of space on my desk anyway.

That model has been replaced by an HDR enabled one. It's pretty brilliant looking up close, I'd recommend keeping on eye out for it as it might drop in price by time you're ready to buy.
