Depending on how bright your living room is I would go with a LG B5 you will have perfect contrast and outstanding blacks with zero blooming. If you can go with a 77" or 83 B5 you won't be disappointed and has Dolby Vision. I think it's a perfect beginner OLED and cheap these days for what you get. Sony and LG are most reliable TV brands followed by TCL. I
Edit: I meant mini-LED Hi, I just purchased an LG B5 and its extremely impressive, but not set on keeping it. My issue is glare.... I often watch TV during the day. I think the TV is bright enough, but the reflections in dark scenes are quite significant and its distracting. I don't have the option to significantly reduce the light in the room. I understand that a high end mini-LED TV like the U88QG is very bright, but that probably wont help reflections during dark scenes right? Thank you very much lg b5 m
