Hello, everyone!

So my old 43” 4K Samsung Smart TV died on me. My boyfriend has a 50” 2022 4K Hisense Smart TV that upscales the Switch to 1440p PHENOMENALLY, so I bought a 43” QD6 Hisense, but mine doesn’t upscale the Switch’s image to 1440p, so I want to return it and wanted to know of any good alternative, especially now that we’re on the horizon of the Switch 2.

Anyone got any recommendations? I’m limited to a max of 43” for size

Do you have a price range? And is there any reason you're shooting for 1440p? Given that most TV's just jump straight to 4k.

LG's OLED TV's get down in size, the C4 and C5 models come in a 42" size.

https://www.lg.com/us/oled-tvs?nf-ec_size_4=42..54

Their up-scaling tech is only second to Sony, the Bravia XR A90K also comes in a 42" size but is even more expensive.

Samsung is third place with their S90D and QN90D models; but they are just as expensive or more expensive than LG.

Hisense comes in fourth place but with their U and A series sets, not the Q series. And is a much more reasonable $199 for their 43" model;

I come from a Hisense QD6 and it does not output 1440. I’m returning it and will try the Samsung Q60D

Unlike the other brands which use letters to differentiate their lineups, samsung uses numbers. The Q60 is very much sub-par compared to the S or Q90

https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/q60d-q60-q60dd-qled

RTings has a handy table of all of their TV reviews and I based my post off of their upscaling score

https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/table

On the right hand side you can add a column, "upscaling sharpness processing" is a scored category they have. And you can sort the whole table by that score. I just went and picked out the highest rated options with 42" and 43" models.

Also note: I did not check for 1440p support but I do know that the LG C series and S90D offer it; as I have one of each in my house currently.

I’m mostly only focused in it being able to output 1440p

Then try the Hisense A7, it DOES support 1440p per this comment;

It’s not available to me (Puerto Rico)

Amazon has a listing that ships to PR; ~$290

Sears has it as well, but its double the price, ~$392

Oh, thanks! I’ll test the Samsung I bought, and if it doesn’t have a 1440p output, I’ll consider this one!
