Thanks for that,but was is the point of buying a 4k tv if you do not have access to any streaming service,do you know when progams will be transmitted in 4k to the genral public?

There is 4K content out there (streaming services/Sky/blurays/game consoles) but regular freeview is way off of 4K and maybe it'll never be available at all. There's only a handful of freeview channels available in regular HD.

Honestly if you're someone who doesn't have some sort of subscription service then 4K OLED TVs probably aren't for you anyway. They're for people who want the very best quality they can get. For the others who aren't too fussed about image quality there are plenty of standard TVs out there.

Sky Ultra HD is the same 3840 x 2160 pixels resolutions as 4K

4K refers to one of two high definition resolutions: 3840 x 2160 pixels or 4096 x 2160 pixels. 4K is four times the pixel resolution,

Point taken but is it not financially better to purchase a tv that shows/plays what is currently transmitted,

That limits your choice, of course. Should you decide to subscribe to Amazon, Virgin, Sky, BT or Netflix 4K then you'd need yet another new TV. That doesn't include 4K discs either.

In any case, it's hard to buy a quality TV these days which is not 4K. That's how technology marketing works, there is always the next new development on the horizon...

You mean supermarket cheapies? Hardly money-saving given their lack of quality and durability.
