Can someone suggest a decent 4K TV please

brewerdave

A final word from me on the advantages of a modern "4K" TV. Having watched standard definition programmes on both my "old" 1080p  set and the new 4K set this weekend, I can say that the upscaling on the new set is much better, the pictures are sharper all round, and the colours are less muddy.

I would hope that if i'd just replaced a 10 year old tv with a brand new one, it looked a little bit better!

Just like i would a pair of shoes

Thank you for the advice, I went for an LG in the end and I love it. A vast improvement on my previous telly. I absolutely love how clear the colors are.

Which model did you go for ?

Just to clarify ,SD broadcasts never looked good on the plasma TV even when it was new

Unless it was a Pioneer Kuro plasma. My 13 year old Pioneer plasma (42" Kuro) still beats many modern TVs for SD content, motion handling and black levels.

Couldn't afford a Kuro !!   Had/have a 51" Samsung - motion and colours are still ace but it never liked SD broadcasts and is a !!!!!! for reflections on a bright day.

Yeah Kuros were very expensive back then. Back around 2007, I paid £1700 for my 42" Kuro but more than a decade later, I'm still very impressed by its picture. Ok it can't do full HD (ts only 720p) but on a 42" screen the difference isn't great.
It also makes a very good heater in Winter! lol

Perhaps it was just your plasma TV that wasn't very good

Or you didn't have it set up properly?

Ah, Samsung, say no more

Not everyone could afford a top of the range Pioneer Kuro as I said earlier - £1700 for a 42" ?
