As always, I recommend reading as many reviews as you can find.

Good for viewing photographs but useless for editing.

By what method will you view the photos. Maybe you want to consider if the TV takes a SD card. Please comment on your intended method.

I don't want to run a cord from my laptop to the TV so I have been putting them on Flickr and using google cast.

Look up Crutchfield on the internet. They sell most models and their reps can explain the differences and between their models.

I use the LG OLED 65B7 for viewing photos and the quality is just fantastic.

We have a plain old 32" flatscreen from WalMart and from normal viewing distance the photos look great. You may be overthinking it? I would suggest taking a memory card with photos on it to the store with you and plug it in and test.

Just finished the same task a couple of months ago. I had several categories since I was buying several 4K TVs for different purposes. All of my purposes required a USB port for using a flash drive with 6000x4000 pictures and drone videos. I chose flash drive over SD card because when these TVs are set up or hanging on the wall, getting behind them to plug something in can be difficult at best. After practicing at Best Buy with the assistance of a sales associate (best customer service ever!), I determined that it was easier to plug in a USB flash drive than it was an SD card. My needs also wouldn't let me buy a curved screen so these all are flat screens.

I needed one 75" or larger, and three somewhere between 45" and 65".

I decided that the LG OLED were the best, followed by Samsung QLED, and then Sony OLED.

I and my consultant who did all the research for me thought that the LG OLED had the blackest blacks, which makes for an extraordinarily beautiful pictures, followed very closed by Samsung's QLED technology. Price would be the deciding factor on whether it was LG or Samsung.

After comparing prices at Walmart, Kmart, Costco, Sam's Club, Fry's Electronic, and Best Buy, I wound up buying everything at Best Buy. They have a best price match guarantee, but even without that, they were consistently the lowest price for the exact same brand and model.

All my purchases were Samsung QLED TVs, 1 at 75" and 3 at 55".

Just out of curiosity, did you look at Panasonic's. For years they had the best picture out there and their dark blacks was one reason for it.

russelray Loc: La Mesa CA

Yes. Side by side with the others. They couldn't match the new OLED and QLED systems.

Gotcha; guess I assumed that Panasonic had equivalent models. Of course they may have one around the corner that steals 1st place back again. They have held that position for many years.

Everyone, absolutely everyone, was considered for my list. I had no experience with 4K TVs. In fact, I haven't even had a TV since September 2013. Actually, I see that Panasonic did get one model onto my list. Here's my list:

Samsung QN55Q8CAMFXZA
Sony A1E OLED
Samsung QN65Q9
LG OLED55C7P

Anything without at least 1 USB port did not make my list.

My TV is a rear projector TV from 2003. I try to keep up on them so when mine goes, I know where to start to shop.
