PS4 No. Hate to come off as a fanboy, but Xbox has really turned things around in the last year or so. The Xbox brand has become a much better product, imo. From UI to Live, exclusives, storage, controllers, and the list goes on. Even the slim plays 4K Blurays, and doesn't look like a sandwich.
Competition is good for gamers, though, and Sony does have a couple of exclusives (Spiderman and Detroit: Become Human) I'm interested in next year, but I could probably pick up a used standard PS4 for those and stick with Xbox for everything else.
@kazeswen: Actually, it needs 10 bit, not 12. Not all HDMI slots on the tv will support it for external devices, either. There is usually one. Look at this model on LG's website for actual specs, not Best Buy's website where info is pasted over and often incomplete.
@kazeswen: 60hz and 10 bit are two different things, but I get what you're saying. Take the Vizio DU series (4K) for this year and check specs...8 bit.
What gets confusing to me is when it varies based on the decoding. LG's website shows the tv in this deal as HEVC Decoder 4K@60fps, 10 bit. VP9 Decoder 4K@60fps, 8 bit. I would want a 10 bit preferably with an IPS panel (which this LG has), and HDR10 support. Still, TVs in a year will probably have more HDMI ports which can run HDR and there will be more options for cheaper. I can wait for me, but I'm still debating on snagging this deal for gifts I mentioned in a previous comment. I'll probably just go with the $528 Vizio 50" 4K D series and buy the Xbox separate for my daughter. Still cost slightly more but not if I hold out for the right bundle.
@kazeswen: Even a lot of the new 2016 4K sets have 8 bit panels so that is definitely something you have to be aware of when making a purchase. You need 10 bit or higher to resolve the issue and they are naturally more expensive. I'm not sure what this LG is but I'm guessing 8 bit without researching it further.
@smokerob79: it's not native 120hz, but then again there's no such thing. 60hz is the most you can get from the source. Essentially, they're doubling the refresh and showing each frame twice...which is what creates the "soap opera effect" that some manufacturers technology is better at dealing with than others. It's more complicated than that but you can Google it. I did. :)
@Frogster8: nah, I'm looking at purchasing a tv for my parents for my Christmas and an Xbox for my daughter. The two wouldn't even be used together. But since I'm buying a tv and I could save $200 on the Xbox, I'm considering this deal. For me, I have a 43" 1080p Vizio and original Xbox One. I'm happy with that for now. :)
