So Ive been chatting to @Mat_C about some TVs but Im not sure if I will be able to go and check them out in person to make a final decision. I recently got a PS5 to play games in my bedroom. I currently have a 4K 60Hz LCD Samsung TV that I was looking to replace.
I have seen some TVs on Takealot on sale, namely the Hisense U8H, U7H, and the TCL C745. Im aiming for 55" cause thats the biggest I could fit on my TV stand. @Mat_C Also suggsted I look at the Toshiba Z770 which looks like a really great TV.
Currently, the Hisense U8H is R9,999 (Takealot), U7H is R7,999 (Takealot), TCL C745 is R10,999 (Takealot), and finally the Toshiba Z770 is a whopping R6,999 (Makro)
I would love to get something great under R10k. I could probably only sell my current TV for around R3.5k if I find someone willing. What I would love for this TV is:
- Nice bright vibrant colours
- Great performance for gaming (120Hz and VRR and ALLM) on PS5 and PC (I wont use it as a PC monitor, but I will sometimes connect my PC up to play some single player games)
- HDR is a plus
- I have a soundbar so I dont care about audio
- Having Android OS is a plus because of some apps I would love to use, I currently use an Apple TV 4K as my media device, though it doesnt have some apps
I dont use the TV *that* much, Its for the odd movie here and there but its mainly focused on playing games in bed at night. My room is fairly small, with a window to the right of the TV. I normally do sit head on with the TV and dont notice any glare so I dont think this will be an issue. One thing to note is that cause I dont use this TV daily, I dont want to spend more than necesary to get the features I listed. Ontop of that, I have a MacBook Pro 14" which I watch series on alot, and at night when my room is darker there is bloom and it does bother me when there is text on the screen
Any advice is welcome, if you have experience with any of these please pop a reply. Im leaning towards the Toshiba at the moment because its a great price but unsure if I should wait for black friday.
