New Telly

With another window on the left and the need for those curtains to be there you have limited your options on size.

Not sure you will gain anything changing, the freesat tuner might but  limits options

Not all the potential options have freesat tuners which will give you the option to ditch the sky box

43"/50" over 40" not a big change, 4k at that viewing distance won't see the difference.

Some sets might be brighter and wider colour gamut than current which will look better for some viewing.
HDR performance won't be that good at that price point. 

These are the sort of size sets people are upgrading from, might find one on freecycle or local ebay/facebook/charity.

RumRat

To be honest, with the positioning of the TV where it is and your seating distance, I wouldn't bother too much on specs. You won't get the benefits of 4K and HDR, so, spend the money on a better HD Tv and forget the 4K.

How much space do you have above the unit (width)?
E.g. not in an alcove?

And check that the stand/feet of the new TV fit on the 760mm unit.
Some TVs have wide stands, or feet at each end.

Easy to replace wide feet with much more useful centre stand (ime). Also allows you to adjust the TV height, if you wish.

Decision made

43" LG 43UP81006LR

£341.10 from Richer Sounds with their extra 10% discount

50" was the same price but without rearranging the lounge, it was just toooo big.

Thanks everyone for their help and advice.

It's a good TV with a great picture (if you play with settings, including turning off screen energy saving), good sound, and is Which 'Best Buy' for 43" screen TVs.

I do have conciderable lip-sync issues with mine, especially with content via Prime and Plex, however.

I've been reading the reviews and have a list already ....

Energy Saving / Tru Motion / Filmmaker - all off

HDMI Deep colours - maybe off

Sound = clear voice

Have downloaded the instruction book but won't print it out as it's 140 Pages!!!!!

Check out some 4k HDR content via the Youtube app, or Green Planet on Iplayer, to see the fruits of your labours!
