Our old arse TV broke pretty recently. The lamp inside it went RIP. So we are 110% going to buy a 4k HDR TV very soon. Most likely going to go with a Samsung this time around with their SUHD tvs instead of Sony like we went last time.

I think what I might end up doing is buying the x1s for the living room where the TV is and buy the Neo for my room. That way, I can play the games I want at 1080p while my parents can have their 4k stuff.

No. In case you don't know (and i was surprised when i found this out too) The TVs with the flat out best response times are Vizio TVs. And you can get 4k HDR for as little as $600...

Do you have some URLs for good 4K-Vizio models with full HDR support for $600 or less? Perhaps some reviews for these models, too?

I was on another forum and having a similar discussion and someone provided this link.

It's a 40" 4k HDR Samsung tv for under $450

A 55" model from the same series will set you back around under $800.

The 15" difference is a HUGE difference.  The natural reation is to subtract 40" from 55" to get your difference.  It's doesn't work like that because it's not just a linear dimension.  It's a dimension on a diagonal that effect both width and length.  A 55" Samsung in general is worth $800.

Ok, so if 40 inches is too small, is 49 inches good?

Looking at this tv currently.

Fair enough, then get it in 50" that's still under $650. Or jist go for the 55".... either way wait till the deals for them are on.

You sure like using the term 110%.

Mhmm. I use it when I am very sure about something

Buy the biggest you can afford, but distance from your televison does play a factor in determining size.  How far will you be sitting from you future televsion?

Yeaa I used that site. I am leaning towards this one: http://ca.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/ks8000

It looks like it is really good at pretty much everything but of course, it is also expensive.

Currently I'm sitting around 10ft away from a 100" projection screen. But I'm planning on changing things up this year. So gonna be sitting around 6-8ft from my gaming screen in my "gaming corner".

So looking at anything from a 50" up to a 65". 

A 50" of the Sammy I linked above and a PS4 pro both come in at just under $1030. But I'm guessing if I wait till around black Friday which also happens to be when the PS4pro is coming anyways I would get a better deal on the TV. At that point I could either spend less or spend the same but go for a bigger size.

A high end tv doesn't cost $1000 but at least double. Unless you consider a samsung 6000 high end instead of the 9000 series



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar
