    Yeah, because everyone uses that 3D feature that the TV sellers touted as the next big/must have thing dont they !!


    Oh, wait ..

    yep 3D was a scam, but tbh you'd be hard pushed to find a non UHD tv and at that price who cares!

    Hi

    My picture quality on my old TV is starting to go so I am on the hunt for a new TV. I am looking for a smart 4K TV. Tesco hace a Samsung reduced from £479 to £419. It is a Samsung UE40KU6000 40 Inch Smart WiFi Built In Ultra HD 4k LED TV with Freeview HD

    They also have a Samsung UE40KU6400 40inch Smart Wi-Fi Built-In 4k UHD 2160p LED with Freeview HD reduced from £528 to £468.

    Are either of these two a good buy and is it worth paying the extra £50 for the more expensive one?

    Also would I need a soundbar with either of these TVs and if so could someone please recommend a good quality soundbar at a reasonable price.

    Thanks


    get the UE40KU6400 model, both have HDR and without it 4K is pretty pointless...but the 6400 is the newer model...

    Future proofing. He may not be watching 4K now but they're likely to have the TV for a good 5 years+ (hopefully). Who knows what they'll be watching in future. My adage is always get the best, most up-to-date TV you can currently afford.

    Get the slightly older one with all the features I do need now at 1/2 the money I can afford and save the other 1/2 to buy the current "most up-to-date TV you can currently afford" with the future proof features I don't need yet at 1/2 price in probably less than 2 years.
