£700 to £1000 for a 40-42 inch TV

[Spike560]

Hi all,

Due to a fairly small living room, the maximum size I can go is 40 to 42 inches. Otherwise, it just looks too big...

So, that gives me a fairly healthy budget to get as great a picture as possible. I don't want a curved TV as I would like the option to wall mount and I think they look a bit strange in any case.

I appreciate that the 4k technology is perhaps wasted on only a 40 inch screen, but we will be sitting quite close to it compared to a 'normal' living room distance!

I have selected two possibles, would anyone have any thoughts on these, or any alternatives?

I hope I am able to link to manufacturer websites, but let me know if not and I will remove.

Cheers for the input guys, I will think about saving £400 by just going for 1080p, but I am happy to spend the extra money for extra quality (even if returns are diminishing).

I appreciate the budget is large for a 40 - 42 inch set, but its one of those situations where the money isn't necessarily the issue (up to £1,000), but the size is! This will be the main TV for the lounge.

As such, the point to debate isn't 40 inch 4k vs 50 inch 1080p. Its more, with a £1,000 budget what is the best 40 inch TV I can get.

Given 4k is probably not worth it as this size or time, can I instead pay £900 for a 1080p TV that would look better than a £900 4k TV?

I.e. put the money to work elsewhere in improving picture quality rather than going towards resolution?

Cheers for help.
