New TV Recommendations

Hi All

I've been scouring the internet for days looking at reviews for TVs and was wondering if anyone could recommend or share their experiences?

I'll be using my TV for mostly watching Sports, Netflix, box-sets with the occasional stint on the games console. I would like to be able to get YouTube on it too. I was thinking that Ill have the TV for the next 5 years so I'll want to future-proof it so 4k is probably the route I'm going to go down.

My budget is around £500. Is this realistic?

I must say I own two Panasonics at the moment, had them years with no problems and great picture quality.

I think Wiretapper's might be a decent shout

Cracking tv wiresnapper.
I may look at buying one of those as i want a 4k tv with my ps4 pro!

Ive had a panasonic plasma since 2009 and its still working brilliantly.
Was top of the range 1080p and picture is still fantastic with ps4 and netflix etc.

greg, I don't think this is an HDR TV, so wouldn't make the most of your PS4.

But then I'm still using a 1080p panasonic, and this TV does look great value.

I would wait a bit if you want 4K for that price (although I don't think you'll get much benefit unless you sit very close to the screen).

Bear in mind the bezels are so small nowadays, you might be able to go a lot bigger in terms of screen size but still have the same overall TV size if that makes sense.

Of the current ones and if you really want future proof, then I'd get the 49" Samsung ks7000.

Greg, keep the plasma and don't change until you can afford OLED or wait for hdr to improve a bit. Plasma is still better than most.

Panasonics and Samsungs are generally the way to go. I'd give a slight edge to Panasonic as they seem more robust to me.

Personally, I don't see the need for a smart tv, my ps4 is always hooked up to it anyway. Picked up a nice 32 inch samsung for about £180 a few months back.

Have a hunt around, see if you can spot any bargains. It's always worth gong into stores and saying "I can get this cheaper online" see if they're willing to haggle.

Have they sorted the frankly awful Netflix and iplayer implementation? I.e. Doesn't crash every time you try and load a video?

No, the os is still pretty rubbish in comparison to others.

Can't fault picture quality.

But the apps just don't run well at all.
