I have been seriously considering doing something I've never done
before, buying a TV. I don't watch much TV and all of mine have been
hand me downs. I almost bought one about 15 years ago, but then my dad
passed away and I inherited his.
My ideal would be to get a 4K (UHD) in the 30-40 inch
Come on, man. Buy a 72" HD & be done with it. You could watch the soapies
from the other side of your plot!

In my (limited) experience, that oversaturate
The TVs all have a display mode meant to really pop in brightly lit stores.
That’s why they’re oversaturated. You can dial them in to any level you prefer,
and video buff sites frequently have recommended settings for different brands.
A 44 inch TV is very affordable these days. LG OLED models s

Without a doubt, LED. Don't get LCD as you will

Indeed, as Paul wrote, plasma screens have a very high quality picture.

OLED is one new technology. It stands for Organic light emitting diode. QLED is
