    Good afternoon,

    I'm looking to upgrade my TV and I'm a little fuzzy on the finer details of different models. I'd love some advice if you could help me please.

    Budget: €650
    Size: 55 inch (preferably)

    It will be used primarily as a TV for an xbox one and as a monitor for a mid range gaming pc. So It would have to have a clear image and smooth operation. 


    It'll also be used for all the usuals, Netflix, Movies, Prime, saor view etc.

    I'd love a model that has at least 3 HDMI ports too. 

    All advice is appreciated , thanks a million!

    Hi Danoman.

    You could check out the Philips 55PUS6754 priced at 649 Euro
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-204207-philips-55pus6754-55-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv-freeview-play.aspx

    Samsung have the 55RU7400 priced at £599 Euro
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-203887-samsung-ue55ru7400-55-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv-tvplus.aspx

    These would be the best two in and around the 650 Mark.

    Next up would be the Sony 55XG7003 priced at 699 Euro
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-204081-sony-bravia-kd55xg7003bu-55-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-freeview-hd.aspx

    All are pretty similar but the Samsung is only a 8 but panel,
    The Sony and Philips are 10Bit (8Bit + 2FRC)
    All 3 are 50 Hz screens.
    The Philips has the faster processor and is also direct lit rather than edge lit like the Sony and Samsung.

    Hope this helps a little.

    Let me know your thoughts.

    Hi Kenny,

    Thanks so much for the options!
    I really like the look of the models. Especially the Phillips.

    One issue I have is that I've overshot my screen size. Looks like I'm looking for a 49 or 50 inch.

    Does the Phillips Amber light come in a 50 inch?

    If not, if either of the other two come in 49 or 50 inch sizes, I'd be interested on which you think would be the best for gaming.

    Thanks!

    Just had a look through your website.

    For gaming, is there much difference between the Philips 50PUS6754
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-204191-philips-50pus6754-50-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv-freeview-play.aspx


    or the Philips 50PUS7394
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-204209-philips-50pus7394-50-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv-freeview-hd.aspx

    I love the idea of the Amber light and I'm definitely leaning towards the philips.

    Thanks,

    Dan

    Hi Dan,

    Both TVs have a native 50Hz panel but the PUS7394 has a better processor pushing out 1700PPI over 1200PPI on the PUS6754. The 7394 would give you a more stable image for gaming.

    It also has the better Android operating system.

    Let me know what you think.

    Kind regards

    David
