Hello all,
I am looking to replace a 32 inch TV used for gaming on the PS4 Pro.
My use will be gaming at 4k, Netflix at 4k. No SD content or TV. Possible PC monitor usage, this would be YouTube at 4k, but would likely use a 3rd party YouTube app on the TV with no adverts. Think its called Smart YouTube, so ideally a TV with Android OS.
I would have got a soundbar as well, but i have a PS4 headset capable of 5.1/7.1 so will use that for Netflix.
Very close to the TV as the PC is in the same room, I would say the maximum distance i can sit away from the TV would be 0.5 metres.
The main problem is space, there are 2 32 inch tvs on the desk, one just used as a PC screen, the other as a PC screen very rarely, 99% use current is PS4 Pro.
I would say maximum size that would fit would be 45", the smaller the better, wall mounting is not a solution due to the wall type.
I have been on Reddit and there seems to be a big issue with the PS4 PRO bitrate on Netflix, so for some reason the 4k/HDR looks poor compared to the TV's inbuilt app.
Worse case i would use the TV inbuilt app, but on the box of my headset it says Virtual Surround Sound 5.1/7.1 via PS4 only, so i presume this would not work via the TV.
Thank you for your time.
Will you be buying and using an UHD Blu-Ray player? PS4 PRO has built in
Netflix
HDR games consoles?
PC usage?
Sky, BT or Virgin? UHD or HD?

- What are your sources going to be? For example:
Will you be buying and using an UHD Blu-Ray player? PS4 PRO has built in
Netflix
HDR games consoles?
PC usage?
Sky, BT or Virgin? UHD or HD?
- SD vs HD vs UHD use percentage? 10% 10% 80%
- Movies, sport, console games, PC use in percentage? 50% 0% 40% 10%
- How close can you view the TV? 0.5 metres
- Do you need to view the TV from the side or only straight on? Slight view say 30 degrees could move to middle if needed.
- What conditions do you view in? During the day? At night with lights on? In the dark? All
- What TV are you currently using and what are expecting to see upgrading to a new TV? Netflix HDR 4k
- Motion - Are you interested in being able to use motion enhancements on your TV to reduce judder and/or reduce motion blur? Both frame interpolation and frame insertion let you do this, read more about it here. They both have their upsides and downsides, so read carefully. Have PC monitor to view sports on
