TV for casual gaming recommendation.

Hi

We're just in the process of setting up a second room with Tele and xbox series s and was wondering if the kind folk here could recommend some TVs please?

Looking for roughly 50-55 inches. The room is quite narrow so doesn't need wide viewing angles. The TV would be used for casual gaming and watching football (would try and sideload the virgin TV go app onto a fire stick). Ideally the price would be sub £450 (some flexibility if an obviously better model for a few £ more). Not a snob about manufacturers assuming a decent guarantee.

Happy to wait until black Friday if there are a few recommendations to keep an eye on... Thanks in advance

    Plenty TVs on RicherSounds just have a little spy for the size you specified.
    As for Virgin Go, I couldn't get working on my Fire Stick, ended up just using Dex via my Samsung S21+ to watch it

    All personal preference but I would go for a used 55 oled if I could find one with warranty

    Thanks for the replies, currently I'm thinking I'll probably go with this later today:

    Apparently there are 2 versions of that model number.

    I was referring to the model that has 144Hz refresh rate & it seems the model number is 55E7KQTUK PRO.

    Thanks, that's currently available on ebay for £524 with 5 year guarantee. Am definitely tempted, is that a good price do you think? (edited)

    I think you are 4 weeks away from black friday.

    My fingers have been hovering over the purchase button for a Quest 3, a tablet & a laptop for days now but I am holding out.

    The choice is yours. Will it drop to £450 in November? Maybe, maybe not.
