Hey guys, how’s it going? I’m new to the community, although I’ve been following TB for a good 5-7 years, so if this topic contains anything wrong, just let me know, ok?
So, I’m looking to buy a 50-inch 4K TV and the budget isn’t the biggest: R$3k. In the 2K range, TB recommends that Semp one, the SK8300. Is there anything worth putting a little more money into, considering I’ll be spending the next few years with it?
You’ll find Samsung’s 50" TU8000 for around R$2,300.00. I bought one two months ago and I’m quite satisfied with the picture quality and software offerings.
I always like to reference this topic where we had a good discussion and @higa stamped the TU8000 as the best all-rounder in this range when I was looking. I bought it (50 inches for 2100 on sale) and I’m super happy with it.
I also remember that somewhere it was mentioned that upgrading to the Q60T is only worth it if the price difference is around 15% or less between the two.
When possible, I use a JBL Extreme as my audio output for watching movies or playing video games (when I want immersion) to enhance the bass, but the TV’s sound for everyday use is more than enough.
At 50 inches, the Samsung Q70T is worth it if you can find it on sale (I looked around and only found it above R$ 3,500, but who knows in the coming weeks, right). Compared to a TU8000, you get a 120 Hz panel, stronger brightness, and HDMI 2.1 for the new generation of consoles.
If you can’t snag a Q70T under R$ 3,000, my personal recommendation is to save some money and stick with the TU8000 at R$ 2,200. The price-to-performance ratio is much more appealing.
Read, read, and read a little more. Thanks so much for everyone’s answers. I’m keeping an eye on the promos and I’m looking at the TU8000 in case I don’t find the Q70T for up to R$3k. I already found the first one for R$2100 (I found that price today) but I’ll wait until tomorrow to see if I don’t find something. Once again, thank you very much for the help, folks!
