What would you recommend?
I'm a casual gamer and if I gamble, it's mostly COD or Minecraft.
My TV is a Samsung TU8079 with an HDMI 2.0 port
(Is the Series X even worth it?)
Buying a new television is out of the question, so the console will have to cope with the television for the next 7 years.
The S is a joke, you can buy a Nintendo Switch right away.
If you have enough money, then of course X. But I especially like S because it is relatively cheap, but really has something to offer. You can argue about the design, but it's a matter of taste.
