Choosing the most affordable 4K HDR Television for PS4 PRO and PC gaming

Go to solution Solved by Tech Geek,

Thanks guys, apparently these sets do speak for themselves but as it happens, where I come from (India), the prices for electronics skyrocket as a result of shipping and most importantly, heavy customs duties. These will easily shoot past the recommended prices in here :(

One of the reasons I was so heavily supporting the sets that I mentioned was cause they seem to be dirt cheap on amazon (For 4K smart TVs at least).

Check them out for yourselves if you'd like:

They are no match for the ones you guys mentioned but the prices reflect their charm, as even after the import duties and what not their shear display size and cost would make for a great value.

So do you think I could perhaps get a good second hand deal for these ( the  KS8000, the  M7000UWG 55" and the likes) online? Or is it inconceivable to get one of comparable size, low input lag, 4K res, HDR, and good all-round support and efficiency without breaking the bank, going above a $400 or $500 mark? I do realize this is asking a lot for this sort of price but evidently not impossible.

What do you guys think, are these prices on amazon any good for an appreciably big 4K TV? Right now the lack of HDR due to being older than HDR10 itself is the only that's bugging me bout them. But of course their might be better deals from more reputable brands.

I don't wish for a top tier product, just one that would fit all these criteria at a good price. I don't see any advantage of buying a TV so expensive that I've nothing left to spend on buying a console or a rig itself, cause those don't fall from the sky either :)

Most importantly thank you for replying so quickly, really feels good for my first query. :D

An attempt to sort through the piles of ludicrously priced 4K HDR TVs for PS4 Pro as well as a future PC build. I have made a few selections but seek for a more experienced advice.
This is my very first post (or any sort of activity whatsoever) on these forums. Please try to help me out. 

However, the list I have made is as follows:
JVC DM65USR
Toshiba 65L9300U
Sceptre U658CV-UMC

All seem to have a very low response time quite suitable for gaming and all are 65 Inches diagonally.
However seeing as one of the selling points of the PS4 Pro is HDR10 High Dynamic Range imaging (Which seems to be more than a marketing gimmick with very impressive results in real time) and the JVC and Toshiba models mentioned above were released an year before (2014) HDR10 was announced (2015), I would like to know whether any of these supports HDR, because other than that these seem to be quite impressive. In case you have your own recommendations on a Smart Television model which is 4K, HDR supported, a big enough upgrade from my family's current 40 Inch (ish, a bit more) Full HD set from Samsung which is also Extremely satisfying, please feel free to tell me.
Thank you in advance for any support. I would like to apologize if there's a problem with my thread (again, I'm new here). Please let me know, if so.

sadly the TVs you listed do not seem to support HDR

 

a very good 4K HDR TV is the Samsung KS8000. it's a very well-rounded TV that has low input latency with a fantastic picture, so it's good for games and media viewing.

HDR content also will look amazing, because of its localized peak brightness. you can even have HDR enabled when you play games without much latency

 

however, the KS8000 is a pretty sought-after TV, so the price on it fluctuates pretty often. and QC is a bit mixed, last i've heard.
