The current disadvantages of this 4K tv particularly at this size far outway the advantages....
Would make a great high resolution PC Monitor.
'Future' proof (although even in the LCD sector I can see quantum dot becoming mainstream)
Decent upscaling of current 1080P content (subject to the television in questions Video processor)
Get your tape measure out, a 50" is marginal for 4K at just over 6 feet away.
Netflix Ultra HD is 15mbps, BT Ultra HD is 29mbps...the UK is struggling behind other European countries at around 20mbps average, and whilst change is at hand it is still a ways off....not to mention neither Netflix or BT Ultra HD are getting the best out of UHD with the compression, particularly Netflix Ultra HD.
It is improbable that any terrestrial 4K channels being broadcast in the future be via current satellite or aerial means, leading back to the current streaming problem.
True Ultra HD content will arrive in the form of limited 4K Blu Ray in the next few months, both players and media will be expensive.
If you can wait, give it 3-5 years by then either hopefully the true rival to OLED or the lesser LCD 'improvement' with quantum dot technology will be with us at sensible prices, and there will be an infrastructure in place for what really matters...content.

Seems a good tv with good specs. 3 hdmi, 3 usb slots. I like the sound of 'freeview play' that's new to me, but what's so new about that? We have iplayer itvplayer 4od etc so is there any other channels we can rewind back? It's not an android either so is that a good thing or not? I like Firefox though. And is it worth the price or should we be waiting for cheaper prices? Thanks

Freeview player is very similar to YouView, its more convenient to scroll back on a TV guide than it is to go hunting across various different catchup apps.
All 3 USB are HDCP 2.2 which is rare for a 4k TV this size under £600! I'm very tempted by this as am looking for a TV but still thinking I'll hold out for black Friday or Jan sales...

Looks good. Paid about the same for a 50" Sony 1080p TV about six months ago.
