Am in the market for a new TV, have an existing Samsung which is a couple of years old but served us very well. Moved house a month or two ago and no most of the decorating and shuffling of stuff is getting complete we have a second 'lounge' we're going to use as an entertainment room for my PC's with a new sofa and TV too.

Looking through deals on Currys (mainly because they seem to do a sunday delivery for not much/free to make things easier).

Requirements: Mainly NowTV watchers along with usual Freeview channels. Have a Sky box (but not sub) hooked upto the 'old' TV along with a NowTV box, which would both stay with it. So a SMART TV with those. Things like BBC iplayer and ITV player would be a bonus (but not required). We have a firestick we could also use.

Don't have a huge need to go over 40" (or up to 4K etc). HD is good enough for our eyes! Getting older! ;)

Budget around £350-400 kinda figure. Could go higher but don't really feel like we need to for what we want.

These are the two I've spotted so far:

Samsung UE40K5600

Sony Bravia KDL40WD653BU

Now modern TV's isn't something I know much about, I have no particular brand loyalty other than the existing Samsung has been perfect & recommending an LG for my parents (and being very impressed) after having an LG previously myself. I know Sony used to make good panels, as do LG, is that still the case?

Any others I've missed that should be on my shortlist?
