    Hi

    I bought a smart TV off Google for 220 euros about. I guess you could say it's a cheap finlux TV.

    Finlux smart tv
    Model no. 32-FHB-5521

    I'm wondering whether I have to purchase another TV if I want to buy a ps4 with call of duty ?

    My TV has two hdmi ports apparently but I don't think it has hdr.

    I've searched Google but no luck.

    Thanks

    HDR would only be a worry if you had a PS4 Pro & we dying to play it on 4K resolution

    You can still use the TV to play games on 720p HD

    PS4 should output over HDMI just fine. Just make sure the result ion matches the TV (720p or 1080p)

    You will be able to use a console with the tv. They connect via HDMI so you are good to go. But as mentioned, it's not going to look great at 720p. Full HD or better is the way to go with consoles.

    It'll work, but 720p at 32" is like smearing vaseline all over the lens of your camera.

    Does anyone else run a 720p tv with a ps4 ?

    I'm far from an aficionado but I still want reasonable graphics.

    Will it be worth it in terms of game play and graphics ? Or should I start saving up for a new TV?

    It'll play just fine. See how you get on with your current tv first before thinking about buying a new one.

    720P isn't terrible on a 32" but a TV that cheap might not be good for consoles if it has a high response time.
