50 inch 4k TV - TCL C725k vs LG UP77

[male]

I have found two 50 inch TVs in my price range (<400 GBP) and I am wondering which I should buy. The TCL 50C725k or the LG 50UP77006LB. I will not be using it for gaming, just for movies and TV shows. Feel free to recommend any other TVs you feel are better under 400 quid. Any input is appreciated, thanks

Hard to recommend anything cheaper nowadays, none are really good value at all and will not be suited for streaming modern content in HDR.
The best compromise is probably the Panasonic JX8xx models, but they will still be very dark with HDR even with tone mapping engaged.

There's nothing at all you can recommend at 400? The Panasonic is a bit out of my budget.
