Jack is correct in that LG's Oled is the best technology with respect to picture quality.  The problem is they are very expensive.  I doubt you could find one for less than $2,000 US, no matter what the size.  I didn't think Charger would want to spend so much, and that is why I did not mention it.

Oled would be the best option I think too but the price tends to go bit too high on them...

LG is a great brand...heck almost every other manufacturer uses LG's screen elements anyways including Samsung I believe.

If there is an Oled one for sale on Black Friday for a decent price that might be my choice but I doubt I'd get a good enough deal for one....

EDIT:
Yeah out of my price range...cheapest Oled is at 1199€ at the moment...so even if it would be at  50% sale it would still be above my budget...plus it's a 48"

EDIT 2:
I wonder what would that LGs NanoCell be like? Atleast it's got direct LED lighting...

My LGs are Oled and we're members at Costco and picked them up for a very much reduced price.

Does Finland have any wholesale clubs?

No we don't.
We have big chain stores both domestic and european and they sometimes do great deals on black friday but that's about it. And even then there's usually a very limited number of items so you gotta be fast if you want one.

I have wondered about LG but I don't know much about them, so that's useful advise. They do a 43 inch model:

LG 43UN71006LB 43 Inch UHD 4K HDR Smart LED TV

... Amazon UK don't have any 43" ecxept from 3rd parties, but they have the 49" version on Prime.
I was referring to not making a 42” or 43” size in Oled.

Single's Day sale has this for 399€

LG 43UN8000 43" Smart 4K Ultra HD

It seems to have all I need...so if this gets a bit of a better deal for Black Friday it might be my choice.

It is also a direct LED panel so the contrast should be good.

That's about right yes.

I've given myself a budget of roughly 400€ max.

We'll see... If nothing good comes up I won't buy...it's not something I need as my old tv works just fine...and I tend to buy dvd/bluray boxsets of tv shows anyways so I don't really need a streaming service either...

So I have pretty much decided to get that new tv post christmas...

Since most of my tv watching is happening in the dark the LG NanoCell is out of the question as it's picture is not black enough in the dark setting as that panel is designed to work best in bright light conditions.

So Samsung Qled it is...it has the best and deepest black of all non Oled tv's...

The 43" Qled is now 444€ so that's my budget..if there's a sale after xmas awesome, if not I'll be getting it anyways.

Sounds like you got your plan together. Hope that sale kicks in and you can take advantage!

Well no real sale on the tv BUT there's a pretty good deal (50% off) on a decent soundbar system so I'll take advantage of that.

Ordered the Samsung 43" Qled and a Philips 3.1 Soundbar system for total of 595€

Also won 300€ from a casino today so...it cost me only 295€ ;D

A new slot called Expanding Fireworks...by Gamomatic. 12 freespins with some retriggers... 1€ bet. Not bad.

If that was an illegal online casino, then you may have committed...
