Hey guys,

Hoping someone could help me out. Currently looking for a decent 2nd TV for new house i'm moving into next week.
Will be primarily used for gaming/blu-rays.

Definitely looking less than $1000 as a price range, also don't want to go too cheap, just want something that's decent for the price.
Size-wise, i'd prefer somewhere in the 40-50 inch range. Doesn't need all the Smart TV business and all that, just good quality for PS4 and such.

What are the best brands out there? Any particular models/deals anyone can recommend?
I've been eyeing off the Kogan ones but i've been reading mixed reviews, are they worth it?

Thanks in advance,
Dan

    NO, fruit is spot on.
    I have many households on my street with 40-50 inch TV's just sitting there waiting for someone to come collect them.
    They have been there a while. If you like I can give you the address and you can take your pick!

      You can get brand new units for under $500 matching your size range. See for example:

      Being new comes with warranty so may put you in a better piece of mind scenario!

      Hope this helps!

I think aldi had a 4k TV as a special buy not too long ago for under $1000, it was like 799 or 899. Not sure if they still would have them.

Oh just found a review

  While perhaps a good deal, not a good deal for OP. No 4K blurays, secondary TV, motion processing limit, consoles don't run 4K, etc.

How important is gaming? You'll want the lowest input lag possible. Best brand recently has been particular Sony models. http://www.displaylag.com/display-database/

How important is bluray watching? Do you have at the very least a sound bar to go with it? You will need a TV with 24Hz input and good motion processing on top, for ideal bluray watching.

Overall, I'd recommend a Sony 1080p panel.
