4K and HDR compatible TV thread

MiskyBoyy

MOD NOTE:

The Xbox Gaming thread was starting to fill up with posts about 4k/HDR TVs, so I figured we should set up a thread dedicated to discussion of them. With the release of the Xbox One S, and the upcoming PS4 Pro and Project Scorpio, it's going to be a topic that's discussed more and more.

Here's a few resources and general information for anyone looking to buy a 4k/HDR tv:

4K is pretty well settled at this stage, but HDR isn't support on all 4k TVs yet, so that's something to watch out for.

Distance guide to see if you'll notice resolution difference.

/MOD NOTE

I'm looking at getting a 4k HDR TV by Christmas to get the most out of the S now. The Samsung KS8000 seems to be the top of the range model right now but is a bit pricey for me (€1600+)

The best quality mixed with price model right now seems to be the Panasonic Viera DX700B going for about €769 for the 40"

I'm usually a fan of LG tv's but their current budget models aren't getting great reviews.

Has anyone got any other recommendations?

AceyBongos picked one of the Panasonic's up the other day too:

If you were willing to compromise on size a small bit, this represents great bang for your buck, and is quite possibly a better buy in that 43" to 50" range. Comparison of both here

Ended up getting the LG 49UJ635V. Collected it on Friday, brought it home took out of the box, connected everything up before taking the felty cover off the front - the f*cker was smashed to bits! Was so disappointed :pac:

Collected replacement from Argos yesterday, they were grand about it.

I saw a TV 15 one mentioned on HUKD, might be worth a try.

Do you need to order through the UK site or can it be done through the Irish one?

On Irish site, top left corner just select Pound symbol instead of Euro one.

Just a tip for buying from Richersounds, they allow you to pay in Sterling as long as you have a valid Sterling payment card i.e Revolut.

Works out a lot cheaper that way, €656 vs €699 if you choose Euros, for the above TV for example. Due to the lower UK VAT rate I assume.

I'm looking for a 4k/HDR TV around the 40" mark, maybe slightly bigger if suitable.
Is there good branded ones available around 500 quid? Or one I could keep an eye on for a discount.
I've seen some of the reasonable priced ones don't get great reviews. And there's the models with huge input lag as well.

I got a Hisense 43N5700 in Argos on Friday. It was €519 and another 10% off with the code TV10. It's a big improvement over my LG 4K panel (that didn't have HDR).

Bought the 55inch hisense myself this evening. Very early days but it's very impressive straight away. YouTube 4K videos look insanely good. The image sharpness is fantastic.
At 666 euros, it's a hell of a deal.

I can't quite tell what makes it better, looking at the comparison. They seem pretty much the same to me?

It is quite marginal, slightly better PMI and more screen/body ratio.

I could go to about €1000, current TV is on its last legs so not sure I can wait til the end of the year.

Head to ebay.de and get it shipped with mailbox.de - they can do big boxes for reasonably good value and you'll get good deals on ebay

I somehow managed to read that as you had a 130" CRT, and was just astonished, must have been the size of your house!

Ha! I used to have a Sony CRT that threw to a 110" 16:9 screen. The PJ was the size of a small car and needed a full re-calibration every 6 months but ooohhhh the deep blacks.

I swapped it for a more up-to-date JVC D-ILA with pseudo 4K and re-built the screen to be scope ratio.

To keep things on topic, this setup is absolutely rubbish for gaming due to refresh rates but stupendous for movies.
