Which tv did you buy and which did you compare it with? Not that I disagree in principle just curious. You can't job lot all budget tv's or all expensive tv's as many sets at many price levels have failings, yes they are much more likely with budget sets but many mid range sets can comfortably outperform poor higher end sets. I've been to a house where they had an expensive tv with a VA panel but the room was organised so many people were left of the screen and at that angle the colour was distorted. An IPS screen would have been fine in the same situation or at least improved. I've seen mid-high end sets that either give a wonderful picture with judder or motion blur without judder and to be honest the blur was better and less distracting and so many people turn off that image processing anyway which they have paid good money for. Personally I'm of the opinion that expensive set should equal OLED. It's got amazing colours, smooth motion and just seems a class above LCD sets and that justifies its premium.

I actually  bought 2 tv's this year. sony x930d and Samsung KS9000 both 65". I mentioned in my post I didn't go for budget this time around. But budget tv's will not give you the picture quality of a high end model. I tried a samsung budget tv, I think it was the ks6000 back in 2014. Was very disappointed with it. 

I don't turn off image processing on these sets and they give me the best picture I have ever seen on tv's so far. NO blur, amazing contrast with HDR. I almost bought an oled, but I don't like LG. I like the Samsung better, video games run smoother on it. 

It really is amazing how far picture quality has come along in 2 years. I buy tv's every 2 years ever since 2008. This is only the second time I buy a Samsung. I buy Sony mostly.

I was against OLED but LG are starting to take gaming seriously and have reduced input lag considerably to low levels on the latest firmwares so what were once best avoided purely because  of being poor for gaming has now changed. You may find your next tv will be an LG or at least have an LG OLED panel. I wouldn't consider spending serious money on a LCD myself. It's flawed technology. I also have an old plasma tv and still gives amazing motion with fantastic colours and OLED really replaces plasma as the premium TV technology.
