Pro is all I use. I have the OG White destiny ps4 as my party console downstairs when friends come over, otherwise, everything is used on my pro. Its slightly quicker and has a little more power so the newer games will not have as much slowdown during certain parts. Just make sure to swap out the HD with something better like a FireCuda so you increase the size and have a quicker HD for even faster loading.

PS4 all the way since I got 5 others to get it on that system. I haven't turned on my Xbone in approx 4-6 months. I do not pay for Live and honestly, I dont have much use for the thing. Almost all my friends have moved from Xbox to ps4 since the system has more games and realistically, there are not that many games coming out for Xbox that looks interesting enough to bother with them as most are coming out for PC also.

@gamb1t: What? The 1060 6gb is within 5% above/below the gtx 980's depending on what card you get for the clock speeds, etc. Where do you find this info that the 1060 cant beat a 970? Even the 3gb 1060 beats the 970's because of the value to performance, and even than, the performance is still better than what a 970 can bring out.

Looking for a new TV that will take advantage of the new stuff video games are doing like HDR and 4k. I'm not really too concerned about the 4k bit, but I really like what I've seen of HDR in person. I've heard the guys in the podcast swear up and down and how great HDR is so that's my main desire.

My price range is $400-$600. I don't currently have a TV for my new house so this purchase is somewhat essential. I've seen TVs in person at Best Buy and I've looked at Amazon and this looks like a good deal.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYGISTO/ref=twister_B071J9GQP8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

My current TV is a Panasonic TC-P46S2 46-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV so I'm hoping to take the next step in TV evolution while being on a budget.

What do you guys advise?

I Love TCL and the 55" 2017 model would be your best bet. I bought the 2016 55" model last year from Costco and it was great, except that I found that the HDR was not added till this year in the 2017's. It worked great for the time that I had it and the price is unbeatable for what it comes with. I replaced mine the other day with a Sony 65" due to moving into a new house and getting greedy with outfitting it with the best I can afford.. or not afford :( When it comes to HDR, 4k will be there, and the TCL this year looks great. When I was comparing it to the LG and Samsung displays next to it at the store, the difference is minimal at best and the main thing your spending your money on is the name. There are very small differences but unless comparing to a tv next to it, you will never see. I would go with the TCL you linked but honestly, go for the 55" at the lowest, especially when the price currently is only 50$ difference.

I enjoyed the first for about a month when its first came out, but it died off quickly for me. These shooters are putting to much emphasise on loot which I found has been turning me off of these games. I enjoy Progression unlocking, not loot progression. Bring in Battle field bad company loot style dlc where it just unlocks locked weapons early for 4.99$ or some crap.

Cell = 10gb between me and my mum "She paid for my phone for years, I pay for hers now" for LTE on Verizon for close to 130-140$ a month after tax.

Home = Unlimited Data *No slow down at any usage* at 1GB download speed for 80$ on Wave Cable. They also just upgraded a few months ago to the 3.1 DOCSIS so its the newest lines. Was on 1tb with comcast and went over the cap twice this year due to heavy usage. Happy comcast isnt available where I live now so I get unlimited with faster speeds for cheaper!

I just got this tv https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XFZL5N1/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 55" for my Pro and Xbox one *Not S or X*. Works great, looks great. Smart tv portion is fast, the HDR is beautiful, Its not curved which is sad since the room I put it in, is in a closet and the curved would be perfect for the small room, but I didnt want to spend the extra for it. The colors are Bright and the darks are pretty dark, compared to other 4k tv's. The only thing better would be looking at getting the Oled Sony's or LG's or the Qled Samsung's but that price point is way to high for what your looking at since those are relatively brand new. I would push for the 7 series vs the 6 that you have posted, or at least move away from the curved unless your in a smaller room for the viewing angles.

If your just looking for a good 4k tv in general though, the TCL 2017models are all looking awesome with pretty cheap prices. I have a 55inch in my living room and it works great, especially with Roku built in. For a cheaper tv, It puts the low and alot of medium level models of the big brands to shame.

here is a link to the one I have in my living room. TCL 55' 4k HDR

@barrock: Do you have two characters of the same class? I.e. two titans? If so that explains why your power engram (milestone rewards) rewards are so low. Bungie has said they did to prevent people from making multiples to increase power level.

Just one character.

It's unfortunate that such a large portion of the game becomes rewardless. I haven't had the courage to do trials or a Raid attempt, so my options for upgrades are limited to the weekly rest.

Welcome to the grind. This was the same as Destiny, where you were stuck at either weekly upgrades or raid gear only to increase your power. If Bungie made the game to where you level your light simply by grinding tokens, than what is the point of doing the harder content if you can get better stuff doing it the easy way? And to say it becomes rewardless is not true. Even at higher light levels, you still want the tokens for different gear, shards, mods, etc. Your going to have to Join a clan if you haven't already for the clan engrams and than each week, grind out the milestones for higher level gear. Its taken me 3 weeks to get to 298 light level due to terrible RNG on drops.

Ya, Seems all the clans are at 100. Curious to see if there are actually 300 Duders going to play or if people joined just to take up space.

Bungies site is dead, give it some time and they should be back up.
