JimmyH: Given the discussion over on the Freeview Forum, it might be worth holding fire until you can confirm that the particular model you may be interested in is compatible with the new FreeviewPlus. Always, of course, assuming that FV is of interest to you.

waikariboy: Have had Samsung 4K tv and over all i don't think it worth getting one. Steamed Netflix 4K tvshow fine but i could not really tell that from a 1080p tvshow. I would say get a larger screen then 4K. have 50" and now looking at 65 +

Talkiet:
Fair point, but there's (essentially) no 4k content available at the moment, so why jump early before there's a need. Now, if you need/want a new TV NOW (Your old one broke or was stolen) then it's a different story

But delay 4K purchase if you can.

I dont understand these comments about 4k content. Almost every modern video recording device that comes out now supports creating 4k content. It doesnt matter if it is the latest smart phones (LG G3, Samsung Galaxy line, Sony Z2&3, Nexus 6) or cameras (Pana GH4, Olympus OMD M5, Sony A7, GoPro) . There a lot of affordable options for enthusiast content creators, there will be a lot of content soon.

Plus we now have Netflix with 4k streaming and Youtube with an option to enable 4k content. With Sony and Netflix you have 2 major players creating and pushing 4k.

My biggest issue with 4k right now is my internet speed at home isnt good enough for downloading 4k content yet. But UFB may help soon ;p


You honestly think Netflix 4k is any good? lol. Their 1080p service is well behind blu-ray.
