So I got referenced here from the monitors thread because I honestly didn't see that this one existed. Just trying to find a good screen.

Presently I'm gaming with my PS4 but I'm using a 22in Asus monitor. It's a wonderful piece of kit for me when ever I'm mobile or lazy, but I'm thinking I want to move up to like a real rear end TV size. I'm thinking my Cost range will be from 300-400 at the most hopefully. It's a PS4 so I doubt I'll ever need to go above 1080p. I really really want a display that can do colors really well as well as not be to "over bright". What I mean by that is my ASUS always seems way to bright, in games and stuff when setting contrast it's almost always the case that I can see both halves of whatever it's comparing for "if you can see this turn down the contrast/brightness!"

I honestly and truly have no idea where to start. I know what I want I think, but I keep finding like super new models and I really don't think those are going to be what I want. I would rather not pay extra for smart features or whatever new hotness if I don't have to. I've never owned a TV in my life and have spent my last 6 years I think with this monitor so I'm just sort of overwhelmed with trying to identify what it is I really need.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice, I really need it and do appreciate it.

Whichever size Vizio E-series is in your budget would be the best bet. Looks like the E43-C2 inch is $350 from Amazon or the E48-C2 is $400 at Best Buy (not available on Amazon). You might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere as it'll probably be going on clearance shortly.

You won't find a good TV without smart TV features, so move past that. You don't have to use them if you don't want.

That line of TV looks like it was made for my use. Thank you! My only question is how bad is the response time? I think my monitor is like sub 2ms, will it just take some adjusting?

I'm not a competitive gamer, but I do play SC2 and BF4 and I didn't really notice a huge spike in the response time. I think rtings.com has it at 29 ms and they recommend this series as good for gaming.

Okay cool. If it's good enough for those two, I strongly doubt I'll notice on ps4.

I measured out how big 48 inches of screen space is. Mother of God this is gonna be cool.
