4k tv for gaming

Hi team.
Looking at getting a 4k tv for gaming. Have a PS5 but just going to run it off the gaming PC mainly. (I'm too cheap to pay for PS plus.)

Is this the best deal at the moment?

Doesnt need to be smart as I have 4k fire tv dongle.

Also open to second hand or waiting if there is going to be a glut of old stock going on sale.

Cheers

edit: Well the price went from $1598 to $1999 so yeah no thanks

  • What games are you gonna play? I'm interested in using my TV and gaming pc to play some games too. I have a lg c2 48" and a Rx 6700. What looks better on the TV versus the monitor?

    • I'm going to give cyberpunk a go first. I have a 3060ti only, but I'm hoping dlss will let me play at 4k.

      Would just like a larger screen and not have to sit in a chair after sitting in one all day for my office job lol

      • Yeah I think you're being a bit optimistic, DLSS isn't that good.

      • I played cyberpunk last year. I played it a couple times so a few hours in total but found it kind of boring so haven't played it since.

        I also played hogwarts legacy for a bit longer but still only barely got through much and got bored so never went back to it.

  • Hi,
    Have a look at this option:

    • Cheers. Already have a large monitor, need a tv for movies as well as gaming

  • Yo check the classifieds subforum on here, there may be a gaming tv listing up right now 😅

  • If you do intend to go for the Sony one, here is the better offer: https://store.sony.co.nz/television-4K-X8500/KD65X85L.html

    Same TV, $200 less, free shipping.

    • It was $1598 at Jbhifi yesterday. They changed the price today :(

      • ah. that explains it. Sony store does price match if you can find anywhere cheaper and they do free shipping.
        So there's an option if you do want anything Sony related (PS5, TV, etc.)

  • Pretty good deal for this OLED - lowest ever according to Pricespy
