    Them OLEDs are steep! Looking for something around 50 inch maybe, has anyone on here purchased anything recently and have any recommendations?

    What budget, and what you looking for.

    Samsung Frame and Q6 get that small. Both only 120Hz if that matters.

    some 43" monitors too, if you got a saorview box or a chromecast/firestick for media that could be an option. Most 43" are well over 1k, only one that lower would be the Philips momentum 43" which is 500-600.

    €600/700? Is it even possible to get a decent TV for ps5 gaming at this price?

    I've a firestick and another tv so it'll be just used for gaming.

    Then Samsung Q60T probably.

    There's the Sony XH800, it's a IPS screen vs the VA in the Samsung with means the Samsung has better blacks and colour while the Sony has better viewing angle.

    When places open maybe go in an look to see the difference, also at those sizes there are difference to the larger ones so don't use a 55" version of either to compare if you're getting a 43".

    Unless the room needs it I'd got for the Samsung and the VA

    Yeah they're pricey but they look amazing. If you can get your hands on a 55inch LGC9 you'll save few shackles. Otherwise a 48inch LGCX would fit the bill. Still expensive though.

    Rtings like it well enough.

    That's part of what peaked my interest, along with some other reviews. This could be a very expensive month...

    Yeah, I think I'm going to stick with my old Sony for the time being... my bank balance just can't hack it!

    I did just notice there that the EU version of the Sammy is slightly inferior to the US version they tested, i.e. slightly inferior local dimming. Just FYI.

    Thinking of picking up an LGCX but i've become quite attached to Sony's brand of Tv's, what would their high end equivalent be and would it be able to compete with the CX?

    I've seen the Sony X900H mentioned in the same posts as the LG CX.

    What are the important features or things to look out for in 4k monitors? Currently using a 1440p 144hz monitor but looking at "BenQ EL2870U 27" 4K HDMI HDR Monitor" for PS5 as its 4k and has a 1ms response time. Anything else I should be looking for ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 318 ✭✭The___________


    I picked up the 48" LG CX last week

    Upgrading from a 7 year old Sony that was 32"

    Blown away by the picture quality and black levels - 4K Netflix is awesome, base PS4 games also look great.

    Can't wait to get it setup and calibrated for the PS5

    Wow, going from a 7 year-old 32inch to high-end 4K OLED must have been incredible.

    I have a 2 year-old 4K. So don't really need to update but oh that CX looks so so sweet.....

    So got this delivered this morning, right in time for ps5 later in the week. Excellent service from Richer Sounds. Only had a quick look at lunch after setting up, but can already tell it's a mighty upgrade on my 10 yr old hdtv!

    Any recommendations for best looking ps4 (slim not pro) games to feel the might of this when I boot up the ps4 later?

    I was set to get the Samsung QE55Q80 t for new gen gaming but abit annoying only one 2.1 HDMI Port, abit annoying ! I see a few of ye got it how ye find it ? Was going get 49 inch but I see it doesn’t support 120hz so going have go 55 inch .


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,209 ✭✭✭Redzer7


    Will there be much of a difference to a casual gamer? Is it night and day between regular 4k? I've just a 4k tv at the moment with standard HDMI. Trying to justify the upgrade.

    It will be a couple of years I feel before we see games outputting 4K at 120 FPS

    4K at 60FPS or 1080 at 120 will be the norm for the start of this generation.

    I've upgraded as my old TV was ancient and I'm future proofed.

    Ordered the Samsung Q80 T today should have it tomorrow with the ps5 so will be interesting how it goes. Supports hdmi 2.1 which may be big in the future. Expensive week but hopefully totally worth it.

    Did the same. Very impressed so far, although come from a 10 yrs old tv so was always gonna be a big leap in quality. Looking forward to seeing the ps5 on it tomorrow (fingers crossed on ups delivery!)

    Seemed the best option and future proofs is going forward especially as it has hdmi 2.1. Cant wait to set it up. Enjoy man.

    For anyone sitting on the fence about taking the (expensive) plunge on an LG CX

    After a long session last night using it with the PS5 I can honestly say I'm delighted with the image quality and how smooth fast paced games are outputted.

    Looking forward to many years gaming on it!

    What size did you go for?

    I went for the 48" - it's set up in my room so it's dominating the room to say the least :)

    Yeah, it's probably the one I'd go for, although it annoys me that it's poorer value for money than the bigger sizes up!

    BenQ EL2870U is on sale for black Friday on Amazon, might just bite and buy now


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,480 ✭✭✭✭Varik


    Philips, Viewsonic, and Asus got new screens coming out after Christmas going to get one of those.

    Also Acer but they're looking for 1k for the 27". The Philips & Viewsonic are meant to be around the €600 for the 32".

    Been keeping an eye out for those. The Acer you mention is the "Republic of Gamers" one yeah?

    Where are you seeing about prices?
