    Need advice on a new TV

    I’m about to buy a 39-42” LED

    I don’t want a smart TV or 3D, just an LED 39-42”.

    Found so far:
    1- LG 39" 39LN5420 Full HD TV.
    2- Samsung 40 Inch Full HD LED TV UA40F5000.

    The main use will be to play FFXIV, but I will also use it as my main PC screen, and I also have 19” Samsung, but don’t like playing on it.
    What do you think guys, help me out here.

    I use a Sony Bravia 40" or 42" TV for my PC. Its great for all I do watch HD movies and I only play my games at 1080P anyway.

    I've used a 2nd generation Samsung LED TV (55") for about three years now. Pretty happy with it, but it isn't perfect. The LED matrix is kinda weird, so you see these dim white circles on the screen when it's totally black.

    The thing is, the only way you're gonna find a good TV is to go to a brick-and-mortar store and look through them yourself. Everyone's eyes are different.

    Samsung all the way. About 2 years ago I bought a 55" Samsung after extensive online research and store shopping. One word of advice though. If you are going to buy a TV around this time of year, you should really hold out for a black friday sale in a few months. It's a pretty significant savings. Otherwise, the best time for a good deal is in early May when all the companies generally release new models and last year's models go on super sale as places try to clear out stock. Either way, the prices on 50"+ screens have come WAY down, and there's a ton of good deals out there now. The biggest price jump you will see is the difference in screen refresh rates. Most have 120htz but there's some 240htz ones out there now (I think) but honestly any 120htz screen is going to be more than fine.

    Also, if you're looking to save a few bucks, Vizio makes decent TVs, and they're generally less expensive than other major brands.

    Whatever brand/model you choose, at least make sure it's 120Hz. It will manipulate the frame rate to seem much smoother than it is.

    My Visio 42" has never failed me, but I'm upgrading to WQHD.
