So with the S90H coming out, a lot of stores locally are clearing inventory. After poking around I found what should be a good deal at $1240USD (converted from local) for 55" S90F (QA55S90FAJ...) which includes the B450F soundbar. If without the soundbar it would be $1215USD.
I also have an option for a 48" version of the S90F (QA48S90FAE...) for $885USD (converted) with the same sound bar or $860USD (converted) without the soundbar. But when I tested both TVs, the bass is completely non existent on the 48" panel and I could not get the 48" panel to sound anywhere near the same as the 55" panel when both have no soundbar.
I'm mainly looking at this to solve my desk predicament and prepare to play Forza Horizon 6 and other racing games/sims. My current racing seat when assembled is about 1.4m in length so I would be sitting 1.5m away from the screen to play. The sofa is behind that and would bring it in at 2.3m for movies and such. The TV will be placed on a TV console.
GPU is a 5070Ti and currently the HDMI and one DP port is occupied so I do need to get a new set of cables.
So my questions are:
- Other than pricing, does the 48" panel actually make any sense as an option?
- If using the 55" is there anything I need to watch out for?
- Given the soundbar is free (almost), is there any reason not to get it?
- Does anyone have good recommendations for a DP+USB hub over LAN to HDMI converter
