Best 49-55inch 4k HDR Tv for less than £1200

I have narrowed it down to the Samsung 55 inch 6 series and Samsung 55 inch 7 series. Might get a 49 inch, umming and awwing!

    If you are interested... some 4ktv's with the correct (quite new) video card in your PC, will be able to put a 4K picture on your screen. From what I have read you need 120Hz refresh rate and hdmi 2.2 on the TV for the picture not to suffer from lag. People always seem to mention LG, but mention sony as better quality.

    1920 x1024 does work, but the icons and writing are apparently too big.

    If you were thinking of doing this, it is not straight forward, and you need to do some googling.

    PS, Just seen Fightsback link, and I am really unimpressed with the best picture and block drawing of the flying saucer.
