Specific TV recommendations

[Rickster]

Hi all, I know this is the nTH TV thread but this one is different.

I'm looking for a 55-60" TV, 4K with a max budget of R7500 (it doesn't even need to be smart or have QLED/Mini LED), the only catch is that the TV needs to have a composite port, the reason for this is that we have a very old Hi-Fi for the TV and upgrading this is not an option nor can we use optical out as that is already going to the DSTV.

So far I have only managed to find one TV that has this port with a decent name brand:

Toshiba 55-inch 4K UHD Smart TV-55C350RP

Resolution : 3840 x 2160 HDMI x 3 USB x 2 Vidaa smart Anyview cast HDMI2.1 (eARC, ALLM, VRR) 3 Year Warranty

Any other recommendations? Thanks.

Just a question - cant you run HDMI from dstv to the TV and use optical from the tv to the hifi? I assume you want to use the hifi as the sound system for the whole setup?

Why are you pulling optical from DSTV?

The composite requirement does limit you quite a bit, as most manufacturers seem to be including less and less options in terms of connections at the back. I recently bought an LG 55" 120hz native panel, but it literally only has HDMI and optical in the back. Pretty shocking.

Also frustrating that every fcking thing needs to be 'smart' these days.

Can't you run a composite to HDMI converter?
