Hi,

I currently have a Sony-KDL55W905ABU which is a great TV for standard HD but I'm looking for something new that will do 4K and HDR.

There are some good offers on prime at the moment for the KD55XD8005, but I'm wary of buying something mid-range and finding it look worse than what I have now for non 4k stuff.

TV is mainly used for Netflix / Amazon / Plex and Gaming.

Any advice or thoughts much appreciated.

You answered your own question. You'll need to spend more than that to better what you have now and you'll especially need to spend more on a tv to get decent quality HDR.

There are HDR tv's and HDR tv's and until you hit Sony models like the XD93,XE90, XE93 HDR is very, very limited.

The XD80 at that size uses an IPS panel so not only would you end up with a tv that did worse with standard definition material(all UHD tv's do vs FHD) and a tv with only better colour with HDR, you'd also have a worse contrast ratio than your current tv
