I asked myself the same question since I have a really good 65" not far but I couldn't install my cockpit in front .

so I got a stand and a new TV ,went for a 55 on the budget that supports at least 1440p at 120hz.
Found a deal on amazon for 499$ cad.
TCL Q65

So far so hood ,I don't regret it ,wanted to to go smaller but it does well for me .it's all about preferences you know 😊

Ha! That is very true! I want to make sure the 50in isn't too small to be honest. Want to make it feel like I am actually in the driving cockpit and not looking at a screen. If that makes sense.

I will check out that tv! I googled best sim racing tv's and there are a few on there that I will look more into. Not looking to break the bank but want to get something worth while!

Does your seat and cockpit fold up and or easy to move around?

MoeTE87 might want to check out the Samsung G9 odyssey which is what I use. It is a monitor, not a TV, and it does an amazing job!

here is a review of it: https://simracingcockpit.gg/samsung-odyssey-g9-monitor/

lebaaron Should I get the Xbox Series X or S? I would think the X would be the way to go.

Also, what games do you use with the Xbox to sim race?

Thanks!
