i had the same dilemma as you and it came down to 2 tv's the sony or the LG.

LG has IPS panel so better viewing angles so I opted for it over the sony. if in your environment everyone views the tv head on then get the sony.

I got the 43" UH750V. Has a glass panel, brilliant onboard sound. HDR (8 bit with dithering).

I believe the HDR is slightly better on the sony but it doesn't have very good viewing angles. Colours go funny from an angle.

Im no more than 20 degrees off centre on my worse sitting position. I cant work out what models are which . The £1000 sony is this years model. And is one up from the basic 4k. But im not sure if the otger slightly cheaper ones are last years but higher spec.
 
The only lg panel id consider is the tv you have psycho.... its £899

Atm i have a Samsung ue40ju6550u 4k tv which ive had coming up about 2 years now. I only pais £408 new at the time. But im hoping picture quality would have got better since. Only real issue i have with current tv is motion blur

which is still £100 cheaper than the equivalent sony @ £999

the 43" market only has 1 clear winner the KS7500 but it's curved which I can't have. all the others are 8 bit with or without dithering.

personally i would wait it out another 2 months see what the new models bring. old ones will fall in price too.

Yeah i might just wait abit. Im hoping the samsung becomes available.

Those Sony's linked above are 10-bit panels, not 8-bit. XD is last years model, XE is this years. I don't think there are any "in the wild" comparisons with the newer XE yet but initial info suggests that they will pretty much be the same performance-wise, rather than an obvious step-up.

So are the xd models 10 bit then ?

And is the 8088 better than the 8077 ? Even tho the 77 had an original higher starting price.

I have the Sony KD43XD8088 and as far as I'm aware it is 10bit. There are lots of conflicting reports of it being 8+2. Rtings updated its review to show it being a true 10 bit tv but it still doesn't hit the UHDpremium standard.
And it's a bloody great TV for the money though.

So i take it the 88 is the model up from the 77 ?

very subjective point.

like i said it depends how long your planning to keep the tv for and how much value you associate to £350.

me personally, I would say no. It's 50% more for less than even 20% improvement. However if your the type of person that buys a tv once every 10+ years. Then it's probably worth going for the newer set as you should get the best you can afford in that sort of situation. if you upgrade regularly then get the best bang for buck.

Well like i said earlier...i initial 4k tv was a temp buy as it was so cheap. Its nearly 2 years old now. My normal change path is about 4 years. Im wondering if the sonys would give me a better picture.

missed that

with size limitation I am not convinced you will improve much on your existing one - technology improvements being directed to bigger sets
- ironically ju7100 from same year as yours seems maybe last 120hz ~40" panels and might have improved motion issue ... change your room layout to accomodate a bigger set.

cant do anything with room. just got the "change tv " bug tho
