Budget £2K. Currenly using a 43" 10 year old LG HD TV (archaic yes i know :D) that is used 95% of the time for PS4 base model gaming. I'm now looking to purchase a replacement, was consdering the 55 9FN, but it has no support for HDMI 2.1 and looks like nothing will until atleast Nov onward (realistically speaking for true HDMI 2.1 based on the chip makers)

We almost never watch TV & never watch movies and is really only used for console gaming but will be used for the next 5+ years minimum with the PS5 (when it's released) and zero chance of PC gaming.

What would you suggest, when taking into account this old boy is still in the dark ages for TV tech but a total console lover (single player, never online) & wishes to 'upgrade' into the 21st century.
 
Regarding the XF90, it doesn't support HDR10+, that i am aware of & is one of the biggest reason i've wanted to consider the Samsung. But agreed the price is a hell of a lot less but at what cost in the range of use i'm talking with?

Also how HDR is implemented on the console. Is Dobly hardware level & HDR 10 and 10+ software?
