I got a Philips 65 inch TV with ambilight and it was one of the best purchases I have made regarding gaming, the ambilight fills your peripheral vision the colours you're seeing on the screen and enhances the immersion, I could never go back to normal TV.

in short, whatever you buy make sure it has ambilight, you won't regret it.

I just bought a super cheap (about $250) 42" 4k 60Hz LG for my grandson's PS5. It's certainly not greatest TV, but it looks miles better than the old 1080p TV he had. But to answer your question, yes, HDMI 2.1 doesn't really matter if you're just working with 60Hz TV's.

True but you're forgetting the upgrades within that generation, I'm not arguing the entire generation needs to go, just the originals. The xbox one and ps4, the pro s and x are all still pretty solid, the original xbox and ps4 are clawing tooth and nail to try and keep up with current games but it's just not happening

see THIS is where a lot of people go wrong, honestly graphical potential is the least of my worries, you can make any game run on any machine if the only powerh ungry thing about it is its graphics, because you can infinitely reduce those to a point of it running on literally anything.

my issue is that i find the old xbox and playstations have such weak processing power that more complex AI, larger scale worlds with more things going on as well as greater physics and thus water amounts are drastically hampered due to the older consoles heavy processing limitations, at this point graphics are at a level that i really couldnt care less if they never improve an inch more, hell i felt that back in 2016 era of gaming and i stand by it. I want more ambitious projects and i think once old gen consoles start losing support we will see that start to flourish more and more, ofocurse triple A devs will always be Triple A devs and release hot garbage every year, but i dont think ive bought a single triple A game in the last decade so for me thats not really a problem.
