After some TV Advice - Cheap 4k vs Named Brand 1080p

Hi guys and girls!
I'm looking getting a new telly, my budget is ideally no more than £300 which I appreciate limits my options.

Currently I cant decide between a named brand 1080p like the LG 43LF590V for £280. Or a cheap brand 4k, like the Argos Hitachi 43" UHD 4k smart TV (43HGT69U) for £300.

Not sure what would be best! I'd appreciate any advice or TV recommendations!

Thanks!

Thanks so much Sonny!
That looks really interesting! Never heard of the brand, thanks a lot for sharing it!

It says its only a 60hz refresh rate. My current set has not motion frame rate increase stuff (or whatever manufacturers call it) and I was wanting a set with one on to reduce blur in both tv/movies and gaming. Surprising it doesn't have any, do you think its really that important?

Thanks again mate! Really helpful chatting to someone in the know!

Thanks for the recommendation Sonny!

I actually decided 43 was too much, so I went with the Hisense H40M3300, which looks pretty good!
I am concerned about its low brightness of 250 though, but I'll see if that's an issue when I get it. I've heard brightness measurements can be very inaccurate and no one has mentioned it has low brightness in reviews so should be all good.

I suspect the software in built isn't half as good as better known brands but hey, its easy to buy a smart tv box!

Thanks again mate!
