4K HDR for gaming.

Rossi IRL

Hi there,

I'm looking for a 4K TV With HDR10 that will only be used ONLY for gaming with the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X.

It must have 2 HDR capabil Hdmi slots as I have heard that some tvs only have 1. (Is that HDMI 2.2 or something like that)

If at all possible could you mention their refresh rate and input lag time while HDR is active.

Size wise I would prefer 49" or smaller but that is not a deal breaker.

Budget is around €1000 at the moment but could go slightly higher if I wait a couple of weeks.

Would be looking at Samsung or Sony tvs mainly.

Regards
Ross

Hi Ross IRL.

Unfortunately finding out input lag is not that straight forward as it is not usually listed in the spec's.

One of the best 49" on the market would be the Samsung 49MU700 priced at 1039 Euro
http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-202582-ue49mu7000.aspx

Rated at 1900Hz PQI refresh. Does not list the input lag so I would need to contact Samsung directly on Monday to check this. Has 4 2.2 HDMI's.

Below that you have the Sony 49XE8004 priced at 799.00 euro
http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-202480-bravia-kd49xe8004.aspx

Rated at Sony's XR100Hz and again no input lag is mentioned. Has 4 2.2 HDMI's.

Each manufacture uses a different means of measuring their refresh rate but most are usually twice the normal 100Hz standard measurement.

Let me know if either of these might suit your needs.

Hi Kenny,

That is indeed the Samsung that caught my eye.

If I was to wait a couple of weeks could you see this tv coming down in price? http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-202522-qe49q7f.aspx and would it be much better than the tv you linked. (future proof and performance wise)

Edit: also looking to have the tv delivered down south

Hi Rossi IRL,

That TV is far better set than the MU7000. We have one on display next to a 7000 and in terms of brightness and colour it's miles ahead.

That TV has already come down in price so I'm no sure if it will come down any further in the near future. If you are interested in it I could include shipping for you to the south.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Between that samsung and this which would you recommend most

http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-202475-bravia-kd55xe9005.aspx#tabProductDetails-tab?swapstore=1

I hear the Sony has better lighting as it is not edge lit, is this true?

Can you confirm if the Sony has a full 10bit panel.

Personally if it was me I'd prefer a Samsung QE49Q7F to the Sony KD49XE9005 - however the Samsung is more expensive and there is not a huge gap between them - the Sony is a quasi 10 bit as its 8 Bit + FRC - the Samsung QE49Q7F is a true 10 Bit screen and to be fair the build quality on the QE49Q7F is superb.

Thanks again and keep us posted,

Thanks John, I think the Samsung is out of the picture now as I just found out that it requires 2 plugs.

Just wondering when you say about the 8bit +frc..... Is it much worse than 10bit or would the difference be very slim.

Hi Rossi IRL.

There are many debates surrounding this.

Since the vast majority of images and movies available are encoded with 8-bit color, they would display the same on both screens.
Unless you're working with photos or video shot with 10-bit or higher color depth, there really isn't any reason to prefer true 10-bit over 8-bit + FRC. I would say that you would be hard-pressed to see the difference.

Hope this helps a little.

Thanks John.... I'll have a think about it over the next few days or so.
