I hate TV's without a full remote. I like direct access because I actually use the antenna sometimes and want regular channels. You're fucked with those roku POS's because it would take all day going through all the channels without a random access remote. I will not buy one that doesn't have random access on the remote. See you are in the UK but in America they only give you the tiny assed roku without random access numbers.
I think it would be nice to have a bit of data from your display review. Maybe look into getting a color calibrater. They will tell you how good the display is some hard numbers
I also tested this 200$ TV from Roku. My 300€/$ Philips Pus 43/7805 is better in every aspect for 100$ more. Better HDR, better Speakers, Ambilight, brighter. Its even more powerful and doesn't have ghosting in HDR10 at all with Game Mode enabled, my TV has a lower Input lag as well. It even Support 12Bit Dolby Vision, which also doesn't look bad at all given the price. So if you spend a bit more, you will get a lot more!
Go to display settings, and find the setting for input, select hdmi instead if auto, then find refresh rate and select 120 to automatically select the resolution compatible. You could probably make a yt short with this information.
Definitely reminds me of the 55 inch Vizio tv I had in 2015…Nothing but Destiny & Netflix on that! 😂 I think a better option would be, the tv’s you would see here in front of the electronics section in Walmart. You can get I believe, a 65 or 75 inch Samsung or LG LED tv for $458! And I currently have a LG 77CX OLED, and it’s been great for everything.

It is worth the money if you’re just looking for a TV to take to tailgates with. No way I would want a really nice TV in that scenario. Also, don’t judge the quality of Cable from hotel rooms. Most hotels use an analog system called an MDTA that is much cheaper than equipping every room with cable boxes. The MDTA converts the signal from digital to analog degrading the picture quality immensely. I maintain one where I work and it supports up to 100 TV’s fairly well. We have so many options with online TV and satellite TV the concern for 4K is more about the availability of content more than anything else.
Oled is great for gaming! Hard to go back to regular lcd monitors after experiencing oled. I have a 48 C2 in my bedroom and recently got a 27 in 1440p 240hz oled strictly for gaming
I was going to say i have the same tv. But the back of my tv looks different. The bottom half of my tv is a bit thicker and the top half is fairly thin and no bumps like that one has. I have a rca roku tv 55" i got in on boxing day fie really cheap in 2019. Honestly its a great tv. I was scared that there was going to be something wrong with it. Because its cheap. But no its perfectly fine. I have a series x and they work well together.
@Crashed131963 I can't remember exactly how much my tv was. But I think it was the cheapest big tv. Some tvs were alot smaller and still like $200 more.
Yes, the Series' have a feature called Quick Resume where leaving a game or closing to main menu keeps it open. This shouldn't do much to slow it down on menu, but loading things and opening things will slow down due to less memory free
I'm looking for a 43-55 inch qled so no screen burns for a pc gaming monitor with atleast 120hz refresh rate, so far i've found the VIZIO 50-inch MQX-Series 4K 120Hz QLED HDR10+ Smart TV with Dolby Vision, Active Full Array, 240Hz @ 1080p PC Gaming, monitor for $500 though, if anyone finds a better 120hz is good enough for m e i want to game in 2k but use desktop on 4k resolution 500 is just too much for me though i want a big screen
Im more of a solo player I mostly play single player and online games that are not heavy on frame rate So if i buy 32 inch 4k tv obviously under budget Do you think it'll do the job?
i have 55 inch Philips 55pus8887 in my living room that i bought from the shop in January for 450€. it has 120hz vrr support and stuff, on top of it supporting both HDR10 and Dolby vision. on my bedroom i just bought myself Philips 50pus6754 a 50 inch 4k hdr dolby vision tv. i did hook up my Chromecast with Google tv 4k on it for some media streaming need. but it's main function is to work as my pc monitor. so far only issue was that either the old hdmi cord, or the hdmi port of my laptop was not up for the 4k60hz content, but active mini displayport 1.2 to hdmi from club 3D and/or new 4k60hz rated hdmi cord solved that intermittent cutout issue that i had at 4k60hz mode. overall while it might not be ideal to use TV as my pc monitor, i have had no issues and with the actual monitor mode on this tv, seem to have helped greatly to make the text more readable.
I almost don't know if I'd want a sketchy thing like this connecting to my network, but could probably just not connect the tv itself and use a googletv/appletv device with it.
What’s your budget? If it’s for gaming I’d recommend the Samsung Q80c or the Sony X85k they are at a good price for the quality offered.(wait for a sale) If you’re on a budget I’d say try the tcl Q750 or Q650. (Ps all of these are 120hz)
@@Vex22778 this 👆🏻 if you want quality but a good price, TCL makes good bang for buck tvs. I have a 65in TCL Q7 and contrast is great with local dimming zones. I believe the Q7 and Qm8 have the local dimming zones
Stay away from rca 4k tvs there's a reason why it's cheap they use cheap parts in it. The backlignt will go in less then a year. Backlight repair is min $900 more then what the tv cost. Expect to pay $500 for a tv in 2024. Anything cheaper don't buy!!!!
Hey. My TV. Lol. But mines even more generic. Made by "onn" otherwise known as the generic Walmart tech brand. Lol. Mines only 60hz tho. And has the basic default tiny Roku stick remote. Isn't even the Bluetooth one. It's the IR one that you have to point at it. I synced up my Roku stick remote because it's not IR. My consoles really get in the way of the IR sensor on the bottom of the TV making it so I had to stand up or hold my arm above my head to use the remote. Now with this one it's no different than using an Xbox controller or something. I can be in another room for all it cares. Way better than the default one.
If it is 4 k and the colors are good what's left to care about ? Even the 60hz is fine on my Ps5 because I do not play Ps5 games above 60 fps anyways .
The colours are not good, the tv is very dim, the contrast is awful and the sound even worst. If you saw it in store and compared it to mid range and high end TVs you’d SEE the difference it’s palpable.. This is the kind of tv people have when they complain about not seeing anything when there’s a dark scene in a tv show (game of thrones s8). Also 120hz is good if you watch sports and play games and even regular content can look smoother on a 120hz screen!

As for someone like me 60hz is enough for me. If you want more then just get a gaming monitor at this point. We need to focus more so on nits and ways we can improve picture qualitu instead of refresh rates.
Eh, save your money, and get something better. You don't have to get the best TV out there by far, but there are mid-priced TVs on the market well under $1,000 that will make this one look silly. HDR is not meaningful unless you have decent peak brightness. Anything below 400 nits is "HDAren't," and you probably need at least 1000 nits for mini LED or 500 nits for OLED to get a proper HDR experience. The fact that they don't publish the brightness for this TV is a bad sign...it's probably below 300 nits, so the picture is probably no better than my Sony 1080p TV from 2010. The extra resolution of 4K doesn't matter at those sizes unless you're sitting really close to it. Only buy this if you want to put it in a den for kids to do casual console gaming.
