... and I'd probably spend another £150.
So that narrows it down to these 15 TVs: Televisions - Cheap Televisions Deals | Currys
I won't be using it to watch broadcast TV, really just for playing video games, or watching content from YouTube or streamed from my NAS drive. I will be hooking up a Switch, Xbox One, PS4 and various other consoles via an HDMI switch or component.
Things I don't care about include:
Smart TV services.
Gimmicks.
Sound quality - I'll be using an Onkyo AV receiver.
I am not too bothered about 4K, as I doubt I would make any use of it and I'd rather get a better 1080p TV than a poor 4K one.
Things I do care about include:
Good connectivity - the more HDMI ports the better, Component is a must, Scart and VGA input would be nice for retro gaming.
Input lag - which I can find little information about on the TVs listed.
Picture quality - I know I am going for a relatively cheap TV, but there are precious few reviews of the TVs on this list.
Size - 39 to 42ins is the sweet spot, but I am flexible.
I haven't bought a new TV in seven years, so I am well out of touch. To give you idea of what I am after, my last TV was a Samsung LE40530C - cheap and cheerful, gimmick-free, with a good panel and connectivity.
Your thoughts are very welcome.
