£600 to spend on a TV - 1080p or 4k?

We have just upgraded to Sky Q so will be moving our current 1080p TV into the Kitchen so we need a new TV in the sitting room.

I've read numerous threads in this forum about 4k TVs and so far it seems like if you want a 4k TV for about £600 you need to get a really cheap one that probably isn't all that good but you should be able to get a reasonably decent 1080p TV for the same price.

Can anyone recommend a decent TV in the £600 price range at all? It needs to be 40" in size but apart from that I don't really have any other requirements.

I know Sky Q have started to broadcast in 4k but I'm not convinced that now is the right time to jump on the 4k bandwagon especially as I don't have a 4k Blu-ray player yet and they are too expensive to buy at the moment. All my film collection is on either DVD or Blu-ray so I won't really notice all that much difference on a 4k TV.

It comes with HDR10 and it supports the Dolby vision HDR, great for the price if you can extend your budget slightly.

That looks like a decent TV. A bit larger than I was looking for and a bit more expensive but it has the features that should last for 5 years or so. I'll have a think and see if I can stretch our budget to get that model.

I've just measured up the space where we put the TV and anything larger than 40" is too big really. We currently have a 32" and that feels all right. 40" would be just about perfect. Maybe 42" at an absolute push but 46" or 49" is just way too big.

Thanks for the suggestions though. It seems that TVs just seem to be getting bigger and bigger these days. I remember when a 28" TV was considered huge.
