Recommend me a TV

lewis2701 · 19 Jan 2016 at 22:30

Hi all, wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction. I have a budget of £400 (could stretch slightly) and I'm after a 40"+ TV obviously bigger the better, built in freeview HD, smart, 4k? and a thin bezel. I wrote 4k with a question mark as I'm not sure if it's worth it at my price point? Would I be better going for 1080p?

I've got my eye on:

SAMSUNG UE43J5600
SAMSUNG UE40H6400
LG 43UF680V
LG 50LF580V

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Wouldn't bother with 4K and a 40" TV, this is a good deal.

But for an extra £50 you can get a 48" version.

Where did you see that? the 48" version is showing as £500 to me?

Captain · 19 Jan 2016 at 23:03

Just meant you can pick up a smart 48" for £450, you're correct the 48" Samsung is £500 but so worth it!

Hmm, tempting.

There are a number of us on here who have the TV and can't say a bad word about it.

Agreed the 48" Samsung is definitely worth the money.

Sammy 48". Own it. Love it (literally)

dl8860 · 20 Jan 2016 at 09:23

48h6400 is the only way

Just as I was about to order said TV, a friend has offered me his (very new) UE40JU6000
for £250.

So the UE40H6400 or the UE40JU6000 for £250. Which would you guys go for?

Captain · 20 Jan 2016 at 17:57

You may as well go for the 4K version if you're only paying £250!

lewis2701 · 20 Jan 2016 at 21:55

Yeah okay, fair enough.

I have it and cannot fault it.

I have both the H6400 in 40" and 48". And going to get another one for the conservatory. Was going to put the 40" in the conservatory. And get a 43" for the bedroom. But after looking around there is nothing i have liked. The H6400 even though its 2 years old now. There is not a lot that can touch it that i have seen. Even beats some of the 4k tv's and that's from the same manufacturer LOL

I think that's the one my parents have. Nice enough, the menus and 'smart' interface are really bad though, there's far too much going on and it confuses them.
