4K TV budget around €500-€700...ISH

    I'm on the look out for a 4K TV.

    I've Googled a HAPE of them and I'm overwhelmed.

    What I'd like to get would be, from what I've read and what's "a must have" - 4K - HDR+ - Full Array/Direct Lit - VA Panel - Wall Mountable - HDMI 2.0a - 60Hz.

    I don't know if it's possible to have all these things in a tv, but somewhere close to it would be cool.

    I'm coming from an LG 42lb580v, which only lasted around 3 years. 

    I'm not picky when it comes to makes, but I have read about some Samsung model interfering with Sky Q, weather is just a small amount of models, I don't one. 

    For the money I'll be spending on it, I want it to be the correct and best that it can be. 

    Cheers.

    Hi lewis,

    If you're looking for the best panel around that budget I would go for the Panasonic TX55FX700 at 769 euro:

    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-203240-panasonic-tx55fx700b-55-ultra-hd-4k-hdr-led-tv.aspx

    This panel will do HDR10+, has local dimming instead of edge lighting for better contrast and has quite a high motion processing rate. The only information I can't find on this is the native Hz rating for the panel. It is rated at 1600Hz BMR and Panasonics are very good for motion but I can't even find the info on Panasonics website.

    Let me know what you think of this TV.

    Kind regards

    David

    Alright,
    Thanks for doing a search for me, that tv looks sweet... I couldn't find out what kind of panel it has, all it says is "bright panel"... Also saw this on the notes for it..
    "The majority of 4K Blu-ray discs require HDCP2.2 on TV to play back HDR, whereas the HDMI input on this TV support only HDCP1.4; accordingly not all HDR contents are guaranteed to be enjoyed on the TV."

    I wonder how much I would be limited to watch with only having HDCP 1.4?

    Hey Lewis.

    Where had you read it was only 1.4?
    Its 100% HDCP2.2

    The below link is for the specs on Panasonic website:
    https://www.panasonic.com/uk/consumer/televisions/4K-LED-TV/tx-55fx700b.html

    If you read down them you can see its clearly listed as 2.2 on all 3 HDMI's.

    Any questions please let me know.

    Alright, 

    I read it on the third section from the bottom of the specs page 

    You have any idea what type of panel it is .. Bright panel is something I've not read about.

    The 1.4 is for their HD and Full HD screens.

    Below is the section I think you are talking about and it says at the start of it HD and Full HD models.

    Not having much luck in finding a tv that doesn't have edge lit in my local shops.

    The closest I'm seeing is IPS direct lit.. So my question is, do you think an IPS direct lit would be similar to a VA direct lit TV... Keeping in mind I'm after a TV for mainly movies and such in, mostly a low lit room, I'm not worried about viewing angles, just wanting the best possible picture quality...

    Edit : I came across this one. LG 55UK6500PLA... The specs seem OK...

    Unfortunately we don't stock the LG 55UK6500, but I actually think that is an edge lit panel??:confused:

    We do stock the 55UK6750 and that would squeeze into your budget.

    If you are into quality viewing without gaming and viewing angles are not important to you then I would look at a VA panel as a preference - however I'm sure you will know that most VA panels will have a narrow sweet spot and off axis viewing will pretty much always be better with an IPS panel.

    Ah crap, I`ve so many TV`s I`ve saved that I put the wrong one in here...it was this one the LG 50uk6500pla I meant to post.

    I`m willing so sacrifice viewing angles for better picture..

    The edge lit ones get a bit of a bad rap. from what I`ve read....

    Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I've a couple of Qs regarding the following two TVs (either of which might suit your requirements, Lewis):

    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-203460-lg-49uk6300plb-49-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv-freeview-play.aspx
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-203303-lg-49uk6400plf-49-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv-freeview-play.aspx

    1) What exactly is the difference between these two sets and
    2) Seeing as I'm in no immediate rush to get a new TV in the next week or so, Will either of them be discounted, do you think, for "Black Friday"? Do you guys even do a Black Friday event?

    Thanks


  • Company Representative Posts: 9,508 ✭✭✭Richersounds.ie: John


    Hi $hifty.

    Technically the 43UK6300/6400 are virtually identical but the 6400 has the central 'crescent' pedestal ( the 6300 has 2 separate feet at the ends of the screen) and the bezels are slightly different colours..

    We do a M A J O R Black Friday event - as at this time I don't know exactly what is in it ( or I won't tell :D ) but it will be worth keeping keeping your eye out ;)

    Keep us posted if we can assist in any way,

    Cheers for that. €34 quid for a different stand seems a bit excessive, no?

    Anyway, I'll hold off until Black Friday.


  • Company Representative Posts: 9,508 ✭✭✭Richersounds.ie: John


    $hifty,

    apologies for the price difference - unfortunately they do come with different costs to us and to be fair the central crescent stand is a significantly more expensive piece of kit than the plastic feet as on the 6300 series  and to be fair we do appear to be the cheapest € price around by quite a significant amount on the 43UK6400- but I will pass your complaint up the food chain...

  • Company Representative Posts: 9,508 ✭✭✭Richersounds.ie: John


    Lewis,

    within your price range that will prove more difficult to get Full Array / Direct lit / HDMI2.0a minimum / and HDR10+ / VA Panel  - at the budget level the HDR10+ will push you towards Samsung TV's ( as HDR10+ is their baby) which you have stated that you don't really want - TBH I'm scratching my head to find a TV under €700 to meet your criteria but by all means if you do see a model that suits your specifications within budget drop me a line and we will have a look at the pricing for you no problem,

    Hi Lewis.

    The first link is for a 55X705F Sony which I think is for the American Market as its not listed on the UK product list from Sony and not one that is available to us.

    The 2nd the Samsung 55NU7020 is also one that we do not stock. We have the 50" version priced at 579.00 Euro
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-203668-samsung-ue50nu7020-50-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv-tvplus.aspx

    Or we have the 55NU7400 retailing at 783 euro which is slightly over budget.

    Also hijacking this thread (sorry), but looking around this budget for a 4K TV (55") as I just got an Xbox One X. Is it possible to get the 60hz refresh rate for gaming in this budget? If not, would you recommend anything? Currently have a Samsung TV 1080p which has been great for years. Philips, LG, Sony would be open to those brands too.

    I've narrowed my choice down to the Samsung UE55NU7021/7020, it's got the 60hz... Just waiting to see what the prices are going to do.

    Hey Fifth.

    It might be hard to get a 60Hz panel within the 500-700 Euro budget. There is nothing that we stock that I could offer.

    The starting point for a 100hz you would be up around the 950 Euro mark for one of the Sony 55xf8505
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-203190-sony-kd55xf8505-55-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-android-tv-youview.aspx


    Starting point for a 55" would be the LG 55UK6400PLa priced at 549 Euro
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-203304-lg-55uk6400plf-55-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv-freeview-play.aspx

    Next up would be the Hisense 55A6200 priced at 579 Euro
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-203449-hisense-55a6200-55-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv-freeview-play.aspx

    Philips 55PUS6703 priced at 669 Euro
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-203603-philips-55pus6703-55-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv-ambilight-freeview-play.aspx

    LG also have their 55UK6750 priced at 699 euro
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-203295-lg-55uk6750pld-55-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv-freeview-play.aspx

    Let me know if any of the above might suit.

    Phobia,
    Unfortunately we don't stock Walker, we generally only stock branded Tv's- possibly see if you can get some advice on that specific query across on the general home entertainment forums?

    Apologies we can't assist with this one..

    Phobia,
    Unfortunately we don't stock Walker, we generally only stock branded Tv's- possibly see if you can get some advice on that specific query across on the general home entertainment forums?

    Apologies we can't assist with this one..

    ATVB,

    Thanks John, apologies, thought that’s where I was!!

    Any thoughts on the Philips 50PUS6203/12 from Aldi?

    The specs seem good.

    Hi lewis,

    The lower spec models tend to have lower PPI ratings for motion and frame creation so the panels aren;t as smooth.

    I haven;t seen the specs on the 6203 but I have seen the 6503

    Let me know what you think.

    Kind regards

    David

    Yeah it took me a while to find specs on it, I'm not going for it, I did like the idea that it had a VA Panel and it was direct lit.. Ah well, I'm edging back towards the Samsung 7020/21..

    Also hijacking this thread (sorry), but looking around this budget for a 4K TV (55") as I just got an Xbox One X. Is it possible to get the 60hz refresh rate for gaming in this budget? If not, would you recommend anything? Currently have a Samsung TV 1080p which has been great for years. Philips, LG, Sony would be open to those brands too.
    Hey Fifth.

    It might be hard to get a 60Hz panel within the 500-700 Euro budget. There is nothing that we stock that I could offer.

    The starting point for a 100hz you would be up around the 950 Euro mark for one of the Sony 55xf8505
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-203190-sony-kd55xf8505-55-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-android-tv-youview.aspx


    Starting point for a 55" would be the LG 55UK6400PLa priced at 549 Euro
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-203304-lg-55uk6400plf-55-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv-freeview-play.aspx

    Next up would be the Hisense 55A6200 priced at 579 Euro
    https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-203449-hisense-55a6200-55-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv-freeview-play.aspx

    Let me know if any of the above might suit.
    Hi Kenny, thanks for this. The Philips looks interesting. What would it be like for gaming? My main reason for using it. Also, will you be doing black friday offers (or are they already on?)

    Hi Fifth.

    The Philips and the LG 6750 would be the better for gaming.

    One of my colleagues has the Philips in a smaller size and has no really issues while gaming.

    A lot of our Black Friday pricing has already went live on our website and we are also offering our price promise on items purchased before Black Friday, should our price lower for the event you can call us and if there is any difference in price we can issue a refund for the difference back to you.

    Cool, i would need to check that I can fit the tv on a stand, feet look far apart. Do you think you will get any of the 7000 series philips in? The 7303 caught my eye online, looks the business. Really like the ambilight feature on these tvs.

    Hi Fifth.

    No plans on the 7 series Philips at the moment to be honest.

    Only the 6703 range mentioned above :)

    Been back and forth on that 6703, do you still have one left? I have seen its price drop to £675 a couple of times on the likes of amazon/ao/costco recently, which would be the sweet spot price wise.. will you be getting more in? Or replacing it with a different model?

    Also, if i was buying a TV from you could I pay in sterling to get the better exchange rate (ROI customer) ,(i know theres a delivery fee.)

    Hi Fifth.

    If you can send me some of the links to the cheaper pricing I can check them for price beat.
    It must be a like for like deal including 5 or 6 year warranty and INCLUDE delivery to you if it can not be collected locally.

    I know the likes of Amazon only offer a 1 year.
    Costco make you pay to shop on there website and need to have a member ship number.
    I'm pretty sure AO only offer a 1 year warranty also.

    I'm not sure on their delivery charges to the South of Ireland.

    The 55PUS6703 is still current and there is plenty of stock priced at £529 + £6.99 or 649 Euro. This make us far cheaper than the £675 sterling price you mention above.

    Sorry Kenny I was talking about the 65" model, I should have mentioned. Fair enough on the other sites, I don't think I could find any site offering a 6 year warranty. 

    This was where I saw it (now out of stock, but it's been back in and out of stock twice in the past 2 weeks)

    Actually that one is the 6753 but the amazon tracker might be a better example https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/Philips-65PUS6753-12-Freeview-Ambilight/product/B07C9GQ5P4

    edit: That's also the 6753. Nevermind me so :o

    Hey Fifth.

    The 6753 is not one that we stock unfortunately.

    Its the 6703 that is available to us.

    The 65PUS6703 is totally out of stock both at the warehouse and here at the Belfast store.
    We are actively chasing an ETA on fresh stock of these.

    They flew out the door the last time there was stock.
