Until recently, I only really upgraded when my 'current' TV packed up. I did upgrade from a 14" to a 26" when I moved out of my parents house but I kept the 14" for the bedroom until that gave up. I happened to come into some money just as the HD era was starting so I upgraded my CRT to a 42" Toshiba Regza which then got moved to the bedroom when Samsung launched the LE48A656. They stayed as my TV's but when I moved, the Toshiba broke. A few years later, my Samsung started playing up so I replaced that with the 55HU7500 4k TV and moved my Samsung to the Bedroom. When that finally gave up, I replaced that with the 48H6400. As the HU7500 needed the SEK to even cope with a HDR signal - although still couldn't give the full HDR capability - no more so than a KU series anyway, I opted to replace that with the 55KS8000 - Also for SkyQ as it had HDCP2.2 on all ports as well and the upcoming PS4 Pro and Xbox 'Scorpio' too.
The 'next' TV I buy will likely be an upgrade on the KS8000 - as far as specs and HDR performance as well as HDMI 2.1 ports for eARC, Game VRR and/or HFR (4k/120??). At which point, my KS8000 will probably replace the 48H6400 in the bedroom.
After that, I don't know if or when I will upgrade. It could be when these break down or maybe for a new technology - like proper self emitting QLEDs or Micro LEDs or even resolution - like 8K although this is less likely at the moment. I hope that QLEDs or Micro LED technology come sooner rather than later to coincide with Game VRR, HFR and eARC as I think these may well be a better fit for HDR and achieving the brightness that OLEDs can't. |
