55 inch 4k TV recommendations

Hi all,

New TV needed, 55 inch, 4K, budget upto £1k

As 4k seems the norm now so looking to get this now although no 4k content currently. May have sky Q in the future. Will be used with PS4 and general day to day viewing.

Any recommendations? will be the main TV in the house so looking for reliability as well as decent picture quality for non 4k content.

Thanks in advance.

will be keeping an eye out - had that set on the radar but it seems its price has dropped from £1299 in the last few days. When is black friday ?

Sorry was lazy, its November 25th i believe. Cant say im looking forward to it, unfortunately this video off the BBC site was taken from my local Asda

Chaos.

But i wont be buying a 40" polaroid tv!

Any thoughts on the Hisense TVs. Avforums seem to give a positive review of the M5500

I wouldn't buy a Samsung. Had a couple and I wouldn't buy another.

Yes have a PS60F5500, bought 3 years ago and now with vertical green and blue lines - awaiting for samsung to send a replacement.

On the other hand bought a Panasonic 50 inch G10 in 2009 for my parents - still going strong after all these years - great picture quality and colours compared to the samsung.

Will look at that Panasonic peahead thanks for the suggestion.

On a side note, samsung are sending me a 60 inch KS7000 as a replacement for my 3 year old PS60F550 60 inch plasma. Result!

Result! I had my ps51e6500 taken away by Currys for repair last week after the same problem after 3 years, hoping they say it's uneconomical for repair and I get a replacement/contribution towards a nice new ks7000 series

They will not be able to repair it as the part is no longer manufactured, so yes they should hopefully replacing it with a TV that is an upgrade!

Did you deal with the retailer or samsung directly? As currys have said they won't do a like for like replacement only a contribution towards another minus an amount based on how long I've had it (just over 3 years)

I dealt with the retailer (Richer Sounds) who then sent a company called smart service solutions to look at the tv. They sent their report back to RS and i think they contacted Samsung who will be sending me the new TV.

Looks like currys are screwing you over and are nowhere near RS/JL on the guarantee front.
