The $289.98 bundle in the US with 1 TB of storage, Forza 6, Halo 5, Halo Wars 2, and ReCore would be a great bundle for people looking to get their first Xbox with fun console exclusives right now. Heck, I almost jumped on it to give my old 500 GB console to a friend so we can play online together. But ultimately I went with this TV:

Which will ship well before the Xbox One X arrives so that's fine. Then I'll preorder the X at GameStop (at some point this century please), give my fat OG to my friend when it releases with the 7th, and all will be right with the world.

I just got a TCL for $300 and called it a day. I don't have a Pro but I might get one, but it's been great. Good ratings for video games, especially on a budget, for video games on rtings.

u/DarthThundercat · 4 pointsr/xboxone

The best 4k TV right now is TCL 49S405 49-Inch 4K Ultra HD Roku Smart LED TV (2017 Model) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYGISTO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_-RWaAb02VKAGN It has all the features you need (4k,120hz,HDR). It's a fantastic TV and it's really affordable. I'd recommend this anything over a samsung.

u/gibson85 · 3 pointsr/hometheater

I have a this 49" TCL. It's just under 35" from leg tip to leg tip.

u/garasensei · 3 pointsr/retrogaming

We need more information! What is your budget and what screen size are you going for? VGA input is also going to be a real problem as those are mostly phased out.

I'm going to assume we're going in on the cheap here. I've heard good things about the following tv. Low input lag and good motion blurring.

https://www.amazon.com/TCL-43S405-43-Inch-Ultra-Smart/dp/B01MYGISTO?th

43", 49", 55" all seem to be about the same spec wise from what I understand. The problem is that they are hdmi only. I'd solve this by getting an OSSC. It will take your component and vga inputs and output them as HDMI. It also seems to have full compatibility with the OSSC doubling modes including SNES, 5x modes, and even 480p x2.

>S405 | Lx3: Y | SNES: Y | Lx4/5: Y/Y | DoctorPain99 Also 480p x2 and 480i passthrough

I don't personally own this tv. If I was looking for a low budget option this is what I would do in your shoes though. The size is up to you. I'd go for as big as you can.

Edit: It may seem painful to pay almost as much as the TV for the OSSC but this really will be an awesome setup. It will even open up RGB scart to you. You could end up spending the extra money chasing the inputs you want but if I was you I'd remove it from the equation with the OSSC. Once you experience the joy of upscaled retro gaming you won't want to ever go back.

The OSSC paired with a compatible TV is pretty much plug and play. No need for complicated profiles or settings research like the Framemeister.

u/nuraHx · 2 pointsr/xboxone

The TCL S405 series has 4K HDR and REALLY low input lag (13-15 ms) at around $350 if that fits your budget. I literally just went to Best Buy earlier today to look at it in person and the picture was amazing.

I think for $100 more you can get the P series (which unfortunately they didn't have on display) which has local dimming (just from reading reviews apparently this makes the picture look better?) But idk if it's worth the extra money for me personally.

I don't know what your budget is but I figured I'd let you know about this TV.

For that price, you can get this tv, its the same size and much better:

u/Sheparddddd · 2 pointsr/Xbox_One_X

ok i think im gonna go with this TCL that /u/ZeroCorpse linked just the 49 inch version i think because 55 seems massive (but the best deal).

then eventually get a tv that supports HDMI 2.1.

thanks!

u/Desert_Quack · 2 pointsr/buildapc

TCL 43S405 as reviewed by RTings seems to be the best bang for your buck TV as a monitor. It's normally priced around $320, but you'll see it drop sub $300 on sale. At that size you'll definitely want the 4k over 1080p and your 1070 should be sufficient. You're missing the 100-120hz refresh but if your only really browsing the web (per your other comment) you don't need that.

u/Chairzard · 2 pointsr/Televisions

There are a few out there, but most "dumb" TVs nowadays are from third-tier manufacturers (RCA, Sceptre, etc) or various sketchy fourth-tier no-name manufacturers like Bolva, etc, and won't have desirable features like HDR or good warranties/customer service backing them. I'd generally recommend avoiding them, but they ARE out there if you're dead set on a TV without smart features:

Examples: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sceptre-40-Class-4K-2160P-LED-TV-U405CV-U/54947077

https://www.walmart.com/ip/RCA-40-Class-4K-2160P-LED-TV-RTU4002/55686417

As others have said, consider a TV from a more reputable manufacturer (these are basically always smart, nowadays). If you're looking at 4k gaming, TCL/Hisense make budget sets that would be a big step up (and come with HDR to boot). The TCL S-series TVs are a good example (and have low input lag too):

u/pwnedkiller · 2 pointsr/blackfriday

If that TCL is the same one amazon is $20 cheaper unless Target will have it cheaper Black Friday.

u/4xalot · 2 pointsr/iRacing

If you're not comfortable building a system and nobody nearby to assist, you might want to go with a prebuilt system.

Example only, not sure I'd recommend this particular one.

https://www.amazon.com/HP-Quad-Core-i7-7700HQ-Bluetooth-Refurbished/dp/B0798TCJCN/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1519421615&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=gtx+1070+computer&psc=1


You're looking for a reasonably modern CPU, 16GB RAM, solid state storage for iracing to live on, and a 1070 at least. This should be able to manage 60fps on triples in all except a few grandstand areas.

If you know someone nearby who can help you troubleshoot any system building issues, might save a few hundred that way. Like I mentioned, graphics cards are hard to get for MSRP right now, so this might be a bit of a struggle.


On the other hand, maybe you should consider getting a cheap ~50" 4k tv and just sitting as close to it as possible, as in almost touching it? I found this more immersive than triple 24" monitors, but you definitely don't have the ability to see cars beside you as easily. The field of view is smaller than triples, but its still much larger than a typical monitor.

I use one of these currently
https://www.amazon.com/TCL-49S405-49-Inch-Ultra-Smart/dp/B01MYGISTO

previously on triples, but I prefer this ever so slightly for just driving for fun. If I was competitively racing still I would jump back on triples.

u/napelm · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I recently built a pc and bought a 1080p 144hz 1ms Monitor and it's been amazing. Now, I have a PS4 Pro which I play on a 4K60hz TV but I want to move my PS4 to my pc desk to have everything in one place (PC using DisplayPort and PS4 would have the HDMI).

Would I notice a difference at all? Should I leave the PS4 in that TV or it is ok to move to the monitor?

https://www.amazon.com/TCL-55S405-55-Inch-Ultra-Smart/dp/B01MYGISTO?th=1

The 49 inch version of this TV is better than any of those for just a tiny bit more and it's 4k. I did a ton of reading about this and I was floored by just how bad current 1080 TVs are.

u/agent_of_entropy · 1 pointr/television

Having said that, you want the TCL 49S405 49-Inch 4K Ultra HD Roku Smart LED TV (2017 Model).

It’s not so much Saving it’s the type of TV.

u/WhyNotPete · 1 pointr/kindafunny

The best bang for your buck when it comes to 4k HD tv's is the TCL Roku TV, https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tcl-55-class-54-6-diag--led-2160p-smart-4k-ultra-hd-tv-roku-tv/5878703.p?skuId=5878703
which is a shockingly cheap $370. You can see a review for it at https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/tcl/s-series-4k-2017-s405. There's a 49" variant too on amazon, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYGISTO/ref=twister_B071J9GQP8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 for $330.

You can get a similar tv with better picture quality for $600 https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/tcl/p-series-2017-p607

If you want to go better than that, then it's got to be the LG OLED tv's (that tim is always raving about) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073K3LPGF?tag=rtings-tv-bs10b-20&ie=UTF8 but the cost is $1600. I don't really think it's worth it to buy tv's between the picture quality of the $600 TCL p607 and the LG OLED's because the TCL P607 is such a great deal, and that it isn't until you get to OLED that you can see a noticable "jump" in picture quality.

Do the specs on this TV differ much from this one?

u/Lazerpop · 1 pointr/4kTV

Oh! I think I got it. So the TCL I'm thinking of doesn't have the nicest HDR and I totally accept that I won't get the most amazing picture ever for $300. But simply having the television on in the daytime near a window won't render it impossible to watch, yeah?

edit -- Just another thought... it seems like to stay within this size range but get a noticible picture bump, I would have to spend at least $100 more, right? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYGISTO/

u/Citizen_of_Atlantis · 1 pointr/xboxone

So this is the model I purchased - TCL 55" on Amazon but it's also available at Target for the same price.

Be careful when shopping around though. I almost made the mistake of buying it from Walmart or Costco because it was cheaper at those two places ($398 and $419 respectively) but those two stores carry last year's model. Last year's model didn't come with HDR.

I wanted to upgrade from my 50" 1080p set to something bigger. But if you're good with a 50" set then the TCL model is only $380.

How is HDR gaming and the 120hz refresh rate?

What's the input lag / response time?

I'm looking for 49" 2017 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYGISTO/ref=psdc_6459737011_t1_B01N6HNA8T?th=1&psc=1


How's it compare to the 6 Series? The only thing that turned me off about the 6 series is that it's edge lit LED instead of Backlit like the 2017 I linked.

600 bucks?
