Hi everyone I am thinking of getting a new TV and black Friday seems like the sensible time to do it.

Don't really have a fixed budget but looking to spend up to £600. Happy to pay less e.g curries have one for £400 atm. I'd want 4k and HDR. Built in free view HD and basic apps like Netflix (doesn't need to be Skype or games). I'd much rather skip that extra stuff and get better image quality.

I see there are different types of HDR. Is there a proper standard yet or is it like Blu Ray vs HD DVD.

I'd be using it for tv and films and occasional gaming. We're not film buffs or TV nerds hence not needing the best of the best.

We're coming from a 6 year old 32" LG 1080p TV so anyway will be a big leap (I hope!). We want 43" to 55".

What do you recommend?

Edit - it would be beneficial if it had a real SCART, composite /composite connection too!

I went to curries and upped my budget to £600. The tickets don't tell anything about the models, and show different characteristics for each TV, different videos on each TV (some low quality where the signal has been split so many times and some with underscan or ovetscan going on) and the salesman told me there is no differenvce between different 4k types, hdr10+ is about the framerate and I'd need a £40 cable to continue to use my non hdr, 1080p PS4 on the TV lol. Off to John Lewis now
 
I did do a bit of research to find out the basics of Hdr10 vs 10+ and I already knew about refresh rates a bit. which is how I knew he was talking poo. In the end we went for an LG 55UK6470PLC for £450 from 650. Just couldn't see any difference between this and a 650 Sony (can't remember the model number). I
