    Hi good folks of the forum and thanks in advance for any help/advice you can give :)


    My 13 year old (!) 32" 720p Samsung seems to suddenly seems to not accept HDMI input from my PS4 Slim (which works on another telly). It might still work as a TV (with some fixing presumably) if I even just get the HDMI input replaced, but in the meantime I can't play games (and I've just bought some!) and with such a big TV (bevel, footprint etc) I reckon I can get the same screen size or another slightly smaller or bigger at a good price.

    Any obvious bargains out there?

    I can't go any bigger overall footprint, but this old TV is like a 35+ inch when you include the bevel and base, and that's a bit large for the place it's in.

    It's mainly for my PS4 for now. I'd get a monitor but I'd like the option for possible TV use in future.

    I'd like to get something soon as it's my birthday in a few days and would like to be able to at least use my PS4 that day!

    - I still have a PS3 and love the 3D games, but I gather that's not an option anymore.

    - While I'd like to go cheap(ish) but decent I know it's worth paying a bit more for future-proofing.

    Amazon sent/spammed me a link to this today, but there's no HDR (I am guessing no chance at this price point), no 3D (again as above I guess they've given up?) and also it's an ultrawide - which I have no idea about and don't one to grab one if many games don't allow that setting - in fact I'd rather have the standard. It looks a little bit cheap to me - can I spend a little bit more and get something half decent? I'm a simple man really who likes fairly simple stuff and doesn't ask the world, but it'd be great to be able to play my game on my birthday, thanks in advance!:
