Thanks for the responses so far guys, I'm still not sure about an OLED, but it does sound like it could be a bit overblown, and no doubting the image quality is amazing, so I will keep it in mind, also the TCL LCDs seem like a great budget option, but QC is a problem, if you knew you could win the panel lottery and get a good screen, i think it would be a really nice option for the price.
What about the Samsung QLEDs, like for instance the Q80R?
Samsung QLED is just a rebranded LCD. It is their attempt to look like they are keeping up with the times against Lg's Oled tech (they aren't). It is the same old led backlight lcd tv that has been sold for years. All the same strengths and weaknesses apply.
Behind the scenes they (Samsung) are working on making their micro led tech affordable for the masses. Micro led will be more in line with Oled quality. QLED is light years behind.
I am assuming that you care about image quality since you ask for help choosing, or you would have just bought the cheapest one off a Walmart shelf. If image quality is what's important, nothing beats Oled (or comes close) and $900 for (any) 55" oled is a bargain.
If the priority is to get the lowest possible price, there are plenty of cheaper options.
I realize the QLEDs are just LCD TVs, and image quality is important, but it's not the only consideration, compatibility with retro consoles and OSSC / Framemeister, fast response times, so is longevity, also burn in might be overblown but it's still a real issue to consider, buying a new TV is a major purchase for me, I want it to last a long time, I want it to have HDR and such for my modern consoles, i may even hook up a PC to it too. I love the way OLEDs look but I want to weigh all my options, For me, It's not just simply Image quality vs Price, i have other considerations. That's why I think It's important to hear others opinions of and experiences with the TVs they have or other TVs on the market and find what will be best for my use case.

I got a Samsung QN55Q8FN back in November of last year and absolutely love it. It works great with all my systems and i never once felt anything "off" about it. (I actually got further against Mike Tyson in MTPO than I ever did back in my CRT days when I had faster reflexes. So lag doesn't appear to be an issue, at least for me.
(I know lag sensitivity is different for each person)). Picked it up on a recommendation in a similar thread to this one that circulated the forums last year.
Nice, I wonder if this years models such as the Q80R might perform similarly.

I'm very happy with my Sony 65" X950G after going through a couple other TV brands and models. The ~20 ms lag is very good. It works well with the OSSC but the NES and SNES require the dejitter mod.
I had been looking at the Sony X950G as a potential option, so It's good to hear it works well with the OSSC.
