Which TV?

If the OLED is out of budget, I would look at the following:

Samsung Q70T
LG Nano86

These are both "next gen" TVs, meaning they support the latest HDMI 2.1 spec. And you'll get the most out of the PS5, Xbox Series X, and anything else coming out in future.

My preference would be the Nano86, since it has 2 HDMI 2.1 ports instead of 1, as well as the better OS...

Nice but wasnt looking at spending so much.
Maybe around the 10k mark or so

This is a tough choice, and if we use incremental price jumps, could also potentially add this oled (48” vs 55” however) https://m.takealot.com/lg-oled-tv-48-c1-series-4k-nvidia-g-sync-hdmi-2-1-ai-thinq-2021/PLID72054553

A bit pricey though. For that price you could get a 65" version of the other two. Or for a little more, a 55" CX which has most of the same features.

48" is really small unless it's for a bedroom or small lounge...

Scary that it is considered small now.

Currently got a 43” don’t find it “small”. But yah I agree. Going for CX 55” is a better buy IMO

trying to weigh the decision of Q70T @ 14K (if it can actually be found at this price delivered) vs CX 55” @ 22K. Quite the price difference in isolation but probably not that large over say a 5 year lifetime

I suppose if you're coming from something smaller then it's not too bad.

But unless you're sitting really close to it, you ideally want 55" minimum - especially for gaming. With the bump to 4k gaming, things like text especially are getting smaller and you're going to struggle on smaller sets.

^^Speaking from experience when the kid broke my 65" and had to use the TV from the room for a few weeks. The struggle was real...

I see what you mean.
My eyes are about 3 meters from my 43” 4K.
Started playing gears 5 on series x today, and a lot of the hint text required me to sit forward a bit to read it, not ideal.
 
Just saw this from incredible. Seems like a good deal?

Would be a steal if it was OLED or QLED
