Gone are the days of getting me ma's 14 inch mithubshi and being elected lol.

Thanks for the list , we seem a little behind on tvs at a decent price point in ireland, (island tax I guess)

The qled seem to be massive money , but I'll study them more . I don't watch TV so haven't been bothered to Learn until now

This is another really good point I forgot to mention. For libraries of games, Xbox is ahead right now imo with Game Pass. Playstation 'has better exclusive titles', but I personally don't feel like that matters much (largely because I don't usually play those genres of games). The same goes for the Switch. You usually can't (legally) play Nintendo games anywhere else.

Thanks us3rn0tf0und01, that's not a bad idea, I suppose I've always thought a newer model would last longer , but tbh I could probably hand them a ps1 and they'd be happy . Well until their friends start getting the new ones anyway and they'd realise the difference. Lol

Def ps5 if you're going with console.

If you're gonna go all out on the tv these are the things to go for by order of importance

OLED tv

HDR

120hz refresh rate

QLED is a nice addition to OLED.

That's about all I can think of off the top of my head. Have fun

As others have mentioned, the tv doesn’t need to be the newest, but one that has hdmi slots will suffice.

Only to add from what others have mentioned, if it’s not about having the newest systems even looking at a PS4 or an Xbox One may not be a bad idea. Get your little ones into gaming on a lower entry cost, a full library of titles, and games that you can find relatively less expensive. Would also allow for them to find out what games and genres they like outside of spending $80 for a ps5 title that they get bored of or don’t like in a few hours. Just another option to consider. If there are new titles you would like to play, they are still being released as a cross generation. (At least for Xbox as that is what I play, can’t fully speak to Playststion). Wouldn’t have any storage issues that way either, and if you end up figuring you want to upgrade to the current gen that is an easy port of your information over.
