That's awesome, thanks! So I'd need to get an HDMI 2.1 cable then?

Definitely! And there are a few good options out there like the Anker 8K HDMI 2.1 Cable and the Monoprice 8K Certified Braided HDMI 2.1 Cable.

I've been using my TCL 43S450R for gaming, and it works great! The refresh rate is 60Hz, which isn't bad at all. Just keep in mind that it doesn't support Variable Refresh Rate (VRR).

Oh, that's good to know. Any idea if the TV supports Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC)?

Yes, it does! The HDMI 2.1 port on my TCL 43S450R supports eARC, which has been really nice for my surround sound setup.

I'm glad to hear that. Thanks for the info!

How do you like the TV overall? Any other features worth mentioning?

I've been pretty happy with it! The picture quality is great, and it's a good value for the price. Just make sure to get an HDMI 2.1 cable if you decide to go for it.

Great advice, thanks! I think I'll give it a shot. Thanks for all the help!

You're welcome! If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask!
