 If I was looking for a new TV..... - Bobby
Under a budget of , say £600, what should I get?

TV will be connected to a Virgin V6 box. With Virgin I am getting a pretty basic package but have BT Sports included in the package. It will also be connected to the router for smart tv capabilities and we are currently getting 100mb speeds if that is relevant!

Present TV was 42" Panasonic Plasma but would maybe go a bit bigger, say 49" - no reason really other than the fact the actual TV wont look much bigger due to the modern frameless TVs compared to the Plasma.

So are 4k TVs worth it? Is anything broadcast in 4k now and if not, what is the point of it then?
My panasonic was a pretty good spec at the time as it was 100Hz but I see many are now 50Hz? But I also see specifications seem to change between manufacturers who use different criteria etc?

A couple of random TVs

Richer Sounds, LG, £449

John Lewis, LG, £549

Any (plain language) advice would be appreciated!

Cheers
