Hello there, fellow Xbox gamers! Been lurking on this great thread for several months now and decided to consult your expert advice - is it worth me trading in my Series S for a Series X if I don't have 4k TV? I got my S for very cheap and it does a great job but I kind of want the most 'premium' experience, just not sure if it's worth it when I'm playing on an older telly. Thanks!

If you want the most premium experience you should buy a 4K TV with VRR and 120hz. As far as playing on a standard HD TV it's still the same games, so unless you're finding games unsightly on Series S already (pretty sure it took much longer last gen before One S performance truly became awful), you should feel comfortable sticking by your original purchase until you're ready for a full upgrade. Hopefully Series X will have better pricing and bundles by then.

Unless you believe there's a good chance you'll upgrade your TV in the near future, I'd honestly suggest to just sit tight and wait it out. You're already on next-gen and you're getting good value. Don't feel pressured for something you don't need until you're sure it's the right time for you.
