Looking into a 4K TV, any recommendations?

For Christmas my husband and I have decided to offer ourselves a brand new 4K TV. Problem is, I'm not sure what to lookout for besides price and width. What brands are considered good or bad? What other options should I be asking for? Any electronics pros out there have anything to recommend?

Also is the PS4 Pro upgrade worth it once you've got a 4K TV?

BEST

X930E (SONY)*

X900E (SONY)

MU9000 (SAMSUNG)**

Q7F (SAMSUNG)***

Q8F (SAMSUNG)***

Q9F (SAMSUNG)***

 

GREAT

X850E (SONY)

X720E (SONY)

MU8000/8500 (SAMSUNG)**

MU7000/7500 (SAMSUNG)**

 

GOOD

X800E (SONY)

MU6290/6300/6490/6500 (SAMSUNG)**

SJ9500 (LG)****

SJ8500/8570 (LG)****

 

 

 

TO AVOID

OLEDs (As I've previously posted, OLED does burn-in. I recommend avoiding it altogether.)

RGBW Panels (LG's UJ6200, UJ6300, UJ7700, and SJ8000 all use the notorious "FauxK" panel. Not worth money)

X940E (While great for movies, the high response time of this panels results in ghosting that sucks for games)

X690E (Nothing particularly bad about this TV, but being an 8-bit panel it won't actually show HDR, even though it supports it on a software level)

Vizio (Vizio is notorious for using secondhand parts and failing. They also lack TV tuners on most models. Avoid if possible.)

 

*A great TV in its own right, but also roughly 3 times brighter than the rest of the list

**Samsungs all have fantastic input lag, making them all better for professional gaming.

***While the QLEDs are good, they're usually very overpriced.

****While I don't recommend them personally, they have the lowest input lag for any 4K TVs on the market.
