Confused and need help regarding Samsung TVs and Sky Q

[ce3k]

I want to buy a Samsung QLED 4K TV (55") and use the slim One Connect box to connect to a Sky Q Box (and also a DVD player). I plan to wall mount the TV and use the 'invisible' single cable to run across the mantle piece to the One Connect Box, which will be connected to SKy Q via HDMI. I will need to upgrade my existing Sky Q to the 2Tb version in order to get UHD.

I'm nervous because there seem to be many issues reported over the last couple of years regarding Sky Q connectivity with Samsung TVs.

I just keep going round in circles trying to establish how to avoid any of these issues before spending a lot of money. We're both retired now and as we love our Sky Sports we just want a good 4K TV that will connect via a single cable to the One Connect Box and into Sky (we also watch Netflix, Prime Video and Youtube all via Sky Apps).

Can anyone please comment on the following:

1. Which Samsung TVs (2020 onwards and 55") can use the One Connect Box and is the box included in the total price?

2. Which of these Samsung TVs work via the One Connect Box with Sky Q without any issues and can the Sky handset be programmed to operate all of these TVs?

3. If I'm to upgrade my current 1TB Sky Q Box to the 2Tb one, does anyone happen to know if Sky provides the right kind of HDMI cable to attach to the One Connect box?

Anything else you can think of that I might need to know?

Many thanks!

@ce3k: While I can't comment on compatibility with third party external devices such as your Sky Q box, please take a look at the link below to find all our current TV models that feature a One Connect Box. I'm sure you'll find something that catches your eye here, that falls within your budget. Feel free to use the filters on the left side of the page to narrow down your search.

By going trough the list kindly proved there seems like its hit and miss with all of them. I had the 2020 95td had no troubles with that but some did

Thanks, that's very helpful. I'm thinking that the QN95A Neo 55" QLED (2021) is the most likely fit for out needs and price range. I just wish that the issues (for some apparently) regarding compatibility with Sky Q were out there in the open and resolved. I honestly can't afford to buy a new TV only to find that there are potential problems with Sky Q via the One Connect Box.
