No doubt it's a good picture, but, you will have to be more specific about the 4K TV you are comparing it with and what are you inputting? 
Not sure what your sentence on sound is saying, but, I doubt the sound is anything to write home about.
Glad you got it up and running and are enjoying it. At the end of the day, that's what it's all about.   

Why do you have to rain on somebody's parade? Have you tested the tv? I'm telling you the sound is amazing compared to my 65" curved Samsung. Top class!

Good day!

Let me UNRAIN on your parade. Here’s a 5 star review for it at a price of £1600.

I have no idea why they used a non standard connector though. How did you sort that out in the end?

Yes I thought this was a money saving forum? I paid £20 for the TV which had a Samsung wifi stick in that are rare and I sold for £70 on ebay. I picked up a now tv box brand new for £10 off gumtree and like I say was totally amazed by the picture and general quality. Even the remote is made of steel and lights up etc. It's also the 46" version.

A true bargain and thanks for all your positive comments.

Cheers

For the benefit of others who might come along later with the same problem as you, does this mean that the TV Coax Socket female to RCA Phono Plug Adaptor you ordered didn't work?

My My...We are a sensitive little sole, are we not? I only asked what you were comparing it with and what you were feeding it? You only needed to clarify what your sentence on sound meant.....
However, from the original review posted earlier....  Cons - 'Insubstantial sound from built-in speakers'. Which confirms my original statement.

I didn't think my last sentence indicated raining on anything.....🙄

Haha yes I can be. To be honest the 5 star review I have read and totally disagree with the sound review. The Dolby is top class in my opinion... Great piece of kit for £20. Thanks for all your help!
