Thread: budget TV for ps3 and PS4

  1. #1

    Default budget TV for ps3 and PS4

    I'm looking for a 32-40" tv to game on. I don't have a lot to spend so I must go as cheap as possible. I'm looking to get either sony, Samsung or LG. I was looking at the following deal

    It's a bit much but if it's worth the price I can go for it. I can also get this tv for R3K but afraid it lacks the features I might need.

    Currently I'm using an ASUS VE247H monitor that I connect to my ps3 via HDMI but I feel TV's will give me better experience.

    I got a Sinotec 39" LCD tv for my xbox and just playing media from the PC for like R2999 from pick and pay a month or 2 back. Checked it against the Samsungs and LGs and it was darn impressive, the Samsung demo video was playing on it. Didnt need all the extra stuff the other TVs have. Full HD, has 2 HDMI ports and a USB port which can power a raspberry pi perfectly unlike the LG and Telefunken LED tvs i tried it on.

    So my suggestion is have a look at the Sinotec range, i think i saw the 39" LED version for R3799 which aint that bad. Just ask the store people to play viable media on it, like one of the demo videos for Samsung or LG to see if its worthwhile.

    You could also check out the Hisense TV's. Also priced very nicely and have decent features including full HD.

    I use the Samsung 32" EH6030 and very happy with it for gaming and other stuff and cost me R4599, cause I wanted 3d so the one without 3d should be between 3-4k.

    At 32" the question of 720p vs 1080p doesn't matter, as you will not see any difference at all. With TV's I'd say, take one that has an HDMI cable for the console, and maybe FHD if it's over 32". The rest really is not going to make the world's difference unless you have the eyes of a military trained scout eagle.

    I can see the difference between 720p and full hd on a 23" so I bet on a tv I would be able to see it. Hisense looks like a good alternative. I just scared of it cause it'z not a very well known brand.

    I just use the good old fallback .... Teljoy. You end up paying more after 3 years but when it comes down to "I have to have nothing for a while coz it's too pricy" versus "I'm getting it nao!", I will take the latter.

    erm Hisense is a well known brand, they have the whole hisense vision club thing going in the FNB stadium I believe where sometimes the concert tickets cause more than the golden circle :-/

    ok will look for specials on a 32"-40" Hisense then. in a way it makes sense to me going for a Hisense rather than Sony, LG or Samsung.

    I've battled with this same predicament. Heard a lot of bad things about the hisense's, teljoys, telefunkens etc and was weary about it. Also, I admit I'm kinda a spec whore and in my heart of hearts I knew I wouldn't be satisfied with a non lg, sony, samsung tv. I got an lg 32' and was very satisfied. Just my 2c
