First, you'll want to try KSL - you're more likely to get a bite there than here.
Second, unless that's some kind high-end 4k TV with an extended warranty, you're at about double the price you'll actually get. A used PS4 goes for between $200 and $400. Splitting the difference, say you'll get $250. Your PS4 is likely out of warranty, so that knocks it back a bit as well.
Given the holiday season is approaching, a used 50" TV is simply not going to command much. A new 50-inch Samsung 4k LED goes for about $850 on Amazon - used, that's worth maybe $500-$600. Black Friday deals and Superbowl Sunday deals means that this is quite literally the worst time to be trying to sell a TV, as most big box stores will have steep discounts.
Overall, you should be pricing those two items, combined, at between $500 and $800. You're never going to get $1300 for them unless you're throwing in a lot of games with the PS4.

There really is no way to nail everything. Though, the Samsung UN49KS8000 does have good input lag, 4k and HDR at 49 inches under $1100. The input lag at 4k with HDR is 21.1 ms. The color gamut for Rec 2020 for this model is roughly average for high-end TV covering about 65% to 75% of the gamut.
If I were buying now, this would be the one I'd get. That said, my Sony Bravia from 2011 is still going strong and I probably won't buy until after I move in a few years.
How is picture quality for movies ? Better than https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01D98AQ30/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1483803249&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=samsung%2B4k%2Btv&dpPl=1&dpID=51D-hJpRB2L&ref=plSrch&th=1&psc=1?
Its base input lag is pretty good (though worse than the Vizio for sure) and its a 60hz TV, not 120. It does have very good blur ratings though, which is generally the reason you would want 120hz.
120hz isnt a scam or anything, but it doesnt do as much as people think it does - including me. I went out of my way to buy a 120hz TV for my main TV because I was told it was better for gaming, but if you look through rtings.com there are plenty of 60hz TV that do just as well with blur as 120hz TVs. 120hz would be more important if you were using it as a PC monitor.
Personally, I am getting a new TV exclusively to play my PS4 Pro on (and watch football sometimes) so having decent HDR is important, but a 63ms input lag is really bad for games. I wouldnt get the Vizio if youre planning on playing a lot of HDR games on it. It also costs $350 more and it doesnt seem to have enough advantages to warrant the price.
If I were looking for a larger, more expensive TV this would be the one I would get over the Vizio - https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN49KS8000-49-Inch-Ultra-Smart/dp/B01D98AQ30
