Here's the original article that made me even consider a 4K as an option. http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-best-500-tv/ If I had to pick one right now, I'd probably go with the 50 inch M, which would hopefully last me several years. I also noticed there's an additional discount for Amazon Prime members on most of the VIzios. Still, I'm going to wait until next month personally in case the prices go lower.
I'm currently looking as well with pretty much the same size and price preference, and debating between the 50 inch or larger Vizio or the 50inch of the 4k M series. The difference in picture quality is supposedly worth the price increase even if you're not viewing 4k content, and I guess it's more future proof in case 4k matters in few years. I'm still not sure if it would be better to put the extra toward a larger E series model or what the big November deals will look like so I'm holding off for now.
Kind of a side but related question but what button layout/prompts are being used in PC ports this year? I've been playing a lot of kb/m games this year but am building up a backlog of stuff I'm interested in, like Batman, MGS, Witcher, Fallout when it's out. I have a wireless 360 dongle but my 360 controller is starting to wear out. Wondering if I should replace it this holiday or upgrade.
I recently upgraded from a 660Ti to a 970 which doubled my benchmark scores. I always use This chart to compare cards across brand and generation, and to see if an upgrade will be meaningful. Witcher 3 runs at a stable 60 despite having an older Sandy Bridge CPU/Mobo, though I only played a few hours so far. If the cards become $30-50 cheaper after next week, that's about what I wanted to be paying. Just make sure if you do upgrade that you have the right power connections available as you might be going from a 2x6 pin to a 1x6 and 1x8 pin, though I think the card I ended up getting was also a 2x6, so just check the specifications.
