43 inch 4k TV (Budget of €600)

Colemania

Moving house in a few months so need a new TV for the living room. I bought my last TV from richersounds in Jan 2017 (LG 43 inch) and its been a great TV barring the odd weird issue with the HDMI ports where I have to change the HDMI cable between slots now and again to get the sound to work on my android box. Not a big problem and only happens to the android box.

I'd like to get another 43 inch TV for the living room with 4k if possible and I've set a budget of €600. We don't watch an incredible amount of TV currently so it won't be on heavy use but it would be on from about 7pm until midnight most nights. It would be used 50/50 between TV (netflix, disney etc) and PS5 and while I'm not a heavy gamer, I'd like to finally be able to see the PS5's true worth on a 4k TV.

What would you suggest based on the above?

Hi Colemania.

Many thanks for the post.

The trickiest part will be getting a 43" that has HDMI 2.1 for the new game consoles to get 4K @ 120 frames per second. Of course the PS 5 will still be displayed in 4K on non 2.1 screens but will not run at 120FPS.

I think the starting point for HDMI 2.1 would be a LG 50NANO866 which is priced at 929 Euro

If you leave out the 120FPS then the Samsung 43AU9000 coming in at 569 Euro would be a great purchase.

Philips also have their 43PUS7906 priced at 549 Euro

Hi Kenny,

I like the look of the Phillips. It says on the description that it has HDMI 2.1. Is it a case of it having 2.1 but not the ability to get 120 fps because it is a more budget TV?

Also, are most of the TVs these days G rated in terms of energy rating? I could swear my current TV is A+ rated.

Hey Colemania.

Somehow I missed that Philips when checking for HDMI 2.1. So the Philips will tick all your boxes.

Energy rating is pretty high on the TV's. The Philips is also a G rating.

Hi Kenny,

Just digging up this post from October. Would the Phillips TV still be recommended for my requirements as posted earlier in thy thread? Finally moving into our new place so I'll be ready to buy in a few weeks.

Hi Colemania,

Thanks for getting back to us!

The Philips is still one of the best 43" TVs to go for which supports HDMI 2.1 and VRR. It also supports Dolby Vision, an Android operating system and has a great direct lit panel so you get a lot of features for the money.

Can I jump aboard this thread please.

I am looking at the Philips at the moment and it looks decent. I was looking at amazon for it though, and the reviews aren't great. Do you have any experience of the laggy interface, and the fact that there can be a few second delay between using the remote and the TV responding?

Hi cullenswood,

Thanks for the post!

We have a Philips TV on display and it's not an issue we've noticed ourselves. As the TV uses the Android interface it should be a bit quicker but it would depend on your internet speed. The remote issue is also something we haven't seen in store.

Let me know what you think!

Kind regards

Hi David,

Is there a way I can control what day the TV is delivered as there won't always be someone at home?

Hi Colemania.

Of course :)

We can arrange to have the TV delivered on a day that suits.

Once an order is placed you can just let us know which day you would like it and we will arrange it with the courier.
