I have a Toshiba 40" LCD TV which I'm now looking to upgrade. Ideally I'd like something that can offer a better picture and with a better smart os. I use Virgin Tivo box, Netflix, Iplayer, USB movies from a hard drive and my firestick for various such as IPTV. Plus XBOX One occasionally. I connect to a Maxell soundbase.
My budget is £400 to £450 and after doing the relevant research I understand that I need at least a 49/50" to gain anything near 4k/HDR.
50" is my limit for my room size. I think either IPS or VA will suffice as although the TV is in the corner of the room the viewing position is almost straight on (maybe a slight angle for some seats).
At my budget I've been looking at LG 49UM7100PLB (&7400), Samsung UE50RU7020/7400 and a couple of Sony's including KD49XG7003BU.
After reading some comments on hear I'm concerned that this upgrade might end up giving me a worse picture as upscaling may not be as good - we do occasionally watch some SD channels on Virgin. Perhaps I should hang on for a bit until OLED comes down to £450 ish??
Any advice / comments would be appreciated.
thanks in advance
