This is my current tv from 2012 or so.
https://www.insigniaproducts.com/pdp/NS-32E440A13/4758343

I mainly watch netflix/hulu, play ps4 (original ps4), play old games (nes to ps1) on the raspberry pi alot.

I moved into my apartment two years ago and my 32" hdtv seemed small, and I've been meaning to replace it.

I was thinking with this, it is currentlt $279.

Since it scores good on videogames, not much input lag.
Though I will have to get a tv stand, for 50" tv, since the legs are near teh ends of the tv.

Went to best buy, looked at it, bought it.
Would've brought it home, but best buy guy is like "Does it stand up in your vehicle?" lol no, I have a mazda 3, he said if it cracks or anything on the way home then you can't return it, so they have free delivery.
I live on the 3rd floor of an apartment, so it'll be nice for someone to bring it up, tho I couldv'e done it myself.

I recommend getting a name brand like Toshiba or LG.... couple hundred dollars more but better than cheap Chinese quality brands like TCL or hisense.

Toshibas have high input delay and LG uses IPS panels. Neither are any good

Walmart has a 55" LG 4K for $350. Best bang for your buck. I sell a lot of them. Beautiful.

The fuck are you talking about... the guy said he mainly watched shows and movies on there so input delay wouldn't matter. Our family has a 4K 50" Toshiba fire tv we bought from best buy for like $300 and so far it's been great.

What are YOU talking about? TC clearly said he plays games on it

Nobody wants a TV with 40ms+ of input delay in game mode

I actually ordered that same TV earlier today on Amazon after looking at the prime deal tvs they had. This had better reviews on amazon then the TVs they had for the deal, and it was about the same price so I went for it.

The TV itself looks fine, but it is cheap. You gotta be gentle with it as I had one and it died like 10 months in, but since the TV came with a year warranty, i got a replacement but it came to me in like three weeks. Lol. The customer service was slow but atleast they were polite enough and I wasn't in a huge rush to get a replacement. But I thought i should at least share my experience with the TCL TV I got.

The new one so far is like 7 months in

wat

TC is using a Raspberry Pi and a PS4. An IPS is perfectly fine for his uses. If he was a highly competitive gamer on a PC, then I'd agree that a TN would be the way to go. A 100Hz refresh rate is just fine for his application over a more expensive TN that gives you a 240Hz refresh rate that will be useless to TC.

Better color better response over VA

VA does have better viewing angles over both TN and IPS.

Better color

Not an advantage when the contrast and black levels suck

It's a panel type only to be used for work, not for regular consumption

better response

Not by any significant measure
