It seems that all of the talk lately is about 4K TVs and displays that will do 4:4:4 chroma (and 60hz), but what about 1080p sets?
I'm currently using a 2010 - 2011 era LG 42LK450 and it's been running almost 24/7 for the last four years. It used an IPS panel and seemed to be a great mix of text clarity, color purity, viewing angles, and response time. I love this thing, but it's starting to develop some weirdness and eccentricities I'm sure are related to it's high power on hour count (currently 29,450 hours). I really don't want it to fail on me and be without something to replace it.
I figure with the startling rise this year of 4K TVs I ought to be able to get a good price on a 1080p TV that will work decent as a PC monitor, but I'm coming up empty....
Do any of you display gurus know of a good 42" or higher 1080p TV that is 4:4:4 chroma capable and offers decently low input lag? Why not 4K? Well, finances are the main reason. I'd like to keep the price $400 or hopefully below, and that pretty much rules out any 4K set. I also don't want to go much smaller than 40" - I am visually handicapped (legally blind actually) and need the large format display.
Any and all input is appreciated!
