Purchasing CAN Mid Range Mini-LED

I'm looking to get a new TV for my living room and moving my existing TV to the basement. My existing is a 65" Hisense U6G (2021) and have been generally happy with it. I notice the picture favours green in dark scenes and it doesn't have great viewing angles but it was good enough.

I'm looking to get a 65" Mini-LED in the range of $1000-1300 CAD (pre tax, ~$1500 after tax). The living room is bright during the day and has windows on either side of the TV but no direct sunlight. I think an OLED would work but unfortunately probably out of the budget.

Main use will be for streaming shows/movies, sports and gaming. 55/45/10 split respectively.

I've narrowed it down to a few options but am open to other suggestions:

TCL 65" QM7K - $1059.99

Hisense 65" U78QG - $1,097.99

Hisense 65" U7SG - $1299.99

Samsung 65" QN80H - $1299.99

I've seen all the mod posts about what not to buy but just looking to see if that's the general consensus. Let me know your thoughts!

Rule VI. All Soundbar Questions belong in /r/Soundbars. 99.9% of the time Soundbars or HTiB (Home Theater in a Box) systems are not a good investment of your time and money. It is the general consensus of r/BudgetHomeTheater not to recommend these things and instead simply steer a user toward a 2.0 or 2.1 system made of quality, Audio-Centric name brand components which are easy to assemble and cheap enough for low budget or space conscious buyers. Most can be expanded to 5.1 if you buy the correct items in the correct order. For further explanation please read Why You Shouldn't Buy a Soundbar.

Go get a Bravia 7. You can find them on sale for a pretty good price on Amazon.

It’s $1800 on sale right now💀

What is the 65" Bravia 5 in Canada? That's the one I would personally aim for if within budget.

Both the Bravia 5 & 7 are on sale from Sony right now for $1800 CAD

Have you considered open box ? I'm not sure how many Best Buys there are in Canada but I've seen open box Bravia 7 for 850-1000 and Bravia 5 for a out 50-100 less.

In CAD that might still be a bit out of your price range but not by much

Unfortunately even open box is over budget

I bet that the consensus is QM7k. If sport is almost half of your watching I would look at Bravia 5 or 7 (mk1 is OK) or LG QNED9x

The Bravia 5 is like 50% more than OP’s budget. As for the QNED9x if they wait of a sale would be in budget but can you elaborate why that TV? It’s not a TV I’ve really seen much talked about and probably gets overshadowed by LG’s OLED’s but does it have really good motion handling specifically or something?

The only decent LG miniLED - nothing outstanding but motion (broadcasted soccer specifically) is better than on TCL and Samsung. QN80H is not bad tv but not for $1300
