Spec me a 4k TV under £1000

Hello people,

I wondered if anyone who owns a sub £1000 4K TV or knows of a decent one could advise me.

I am considering purchasing this one:

But essentially I need one with 4 HDMI's minimum not curved and 40-43"

Cheers,

Rick.

That's the one I'm considering (well it's called UE40JU6400 out here). I've seen a lot of good reviews for it, but have heard the viewing angle is not so good. As far as audio sync goes, I think I read somewhere that you can adjust the sync timing for different inputs, not sure though as I haven't bought it yet.

I went ahead and ordered this one: http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/tv-audio-video/televisions/uhd-tvs/UE40JU7000TXXU and it is arriving today - I will let you know what it is like.

Sorry to say this after you've ordered, but 4k is so pointless at that size unless you actually sit less than 5 feet away

lol -I live in a little flat so anything bigger than 40" is just way too much - so far so good - all set up

Not really because at that PPI you can use 4k without anti aliasing probably.

That one's not available out here, unfortunately.

Whether or not 4K is pointless at 40", Samsung don't sell any 40" sets lower than 4K (out here anyway)! Not sure if there is a disadvantage of it being 4K?

No inherent disadvantages, just the fact that you are spending more for redundant pixels which would otherwise be better spent on better PQ, or something else actually worthwhile

No. I will game on my 65" UHD(advantaged 1)
The TV has good upscale to UHD and my new NAS can transcode 1080p-UHD on the fly(advantaged 2).
