Hi i am currently looking to upgrade my current TV.

Current TV:
Model: Panasonic Viera TH-L32X50K
Size: 32-inch
Resolution: 1080p

Other spec not sure since even uncle Gugel didn't give a lot of clear results for this model. Too old I guess tongue.gif

Use case:
1. Gaming - open-world types (Red Dead Redemption, No Mans Sky) and FPS (Battlebit, Apex Legends)
2. Media consumption - movies, internet browsing, Youtube

Gunning for:
1. Visuals - for movies and cinematic views. If possible would like to graduate from 1080p. 2K is a good minimum for me. If can get 4K even better (tho read somewhere not recommend 4k on 32-inch coz cant fully appreciate....)
2. Performance - since I play FPS as well, would like to have good refresh rate as well, at least higher than 60Hz.
3. If it helps, I am also using MSI RTX3060Ti Ventus 2X OC - so would like to harness its capabilities as well.
4. Budget: Can consider up to RM3k.

Want newer 32-inch TV but can't seem to find much. So, at most can go up to 42-inch only coz of space.

Aiming for the LG C2 42-inch (yes, more than RM3k but it seems a perfect fit biggrin.gif ) but cannot seem to find anywhere. Anyone know where to buy?

also appreciate if can recommend 32-inch TVs as well.

Thanks

Can take a look at their monitor line. Your options:
1. LG UltraFine 32EP950-B. has 32-inch 4K panel with OLED but only goes up to 60Hz refresh rate. Good if you don't game on it, but a bit expensive
2. LG UltraGear 27GR95QE-B. has 4K panel with 144Hz and OLED but only 27-inch in size. A bit small, but good if you want to game and don't mind the size since you don't have a lot of space
3. LG UltraGear 48GQ900-B. has 4K panel with 120Hz and OLED but is 48-inch in size. Basically just a 48-inch LG C2 TV without the smart TV part, so it's pretty big. Might as well get an LG C2/C3

Wanted to recommend Sony OLED but all their TVs are at least 55-inch in size. Panasonic's smallest OLED is 49-inch, same as LG.

Don't know much about Samsung but I think they have a mini-LED 42-inch model - Samsung QN90C. could be a good choice, especially for bright rooms. but QLED < OLED.

TL;DR - go with the 48-inch LG C2/C3 if you can make room for it

Main question, how small exactly is your room?
The perfect scenario is go for 48/55 inch Oled TV if you are a gamer.
However. if your room can only fit with 32/42 inch display device, then you should just choose monitor instead of TV.  There's plenty of 32-42 inch 4K monitors out there. IPS, VA, Oled. Do some researches based on your budget. If you want me to suggest. So far, IMO, the best 4K 32 inch gaming monitor is Gigabyte M32U (fast IPS), slightly more than RM3K. I am using one right now, and I am quite satisfied with it. Of course, Oled monitor (more than RM4K) would be always better in term of gaming, but that's already out of your budget. The smallest oled monitor (27 inch) is around RM4300-4800 depends on brand.

Oh and who said 4k on 32-inch can't fully appreciate?  LOL. It's totally absurd. In fact, 4K + 32 inch is the golden standard in gaming monitor world.

The best combination are 24inch + 1080p , 27inch + 2k , 32inch + 4k

Thanks Sifus for the recommendations.

For the time being, I might avoid OLED for now, concern on burn-in. Gonna use the screen for internet browsing for long periods, so might as well not risk it.

Yeah, so currently torn between these two:

1. Gigabyte M32U (32")
2. Samsung QN90C (43")

But more lean towards the Samsung since it ticks more boxes on the usage scale. But the price difference tho, RM3k+ vs RM4k+.

Originally target budget around RM3k lol. But seeing the limited options, don't mind forking out some more dough.

But then again, for more versatility, that extra RM1k might be worth it.

Gonna let my subconscious stew over these choice for a bit before deciding.

Thanks for the help

Haha, currently looking for where to buy.

The Gigabyte easier to find seller. Shopee got offer from sellers with rating / review.

The Samsung harder to find seller with rating / review.

Usual online malls (Shopee, Lazada etc.) got results but most don't have any reviews.

Those that do, sold out edy.

This is a great deal on the Samsung from Brightstar: https://shopee.com.my/SAMSUNG-32-ODYSSEY-NE...a6-64e1a3a81f04

If I didn't already use a Dell G3223Q I wouldve bought this

Thanks for the suggestion. But if can, prefer flat screen.

Good pick for those who don't mind the curve architecture tho

Ok, at first try 2 sellers at Shopee.

After ping pong for a week, they say Samsung QN90C 43-inch out of stock & discontinued model.

So, confirm if want to buy Samsung / LG, need to buy early of year, especially for uncommon sizes.

Near end of year, confirm habis stock and they discontinue to make way for next year model..

Just when I already locked in on a preferred TV replacement. Haizzz...

At least their phones still can buy old models. Cant see why TV so limited stock...

Hahaha. already buy the 2nd choice: Gigabyte M32U.

New model not sure if better or worse than QN90C and for sure sell at even higher price. And even then, not confirm if new model got 43" or not.
