Smarts in a TV are more of a liability than a benefit.
We have a "smart" Toshiba. It's only 5 years old, but none of the features that it came with work any more. The iPlayer API was changed and the TV firmware never got upgraded. The Youtube app went the same way and all the rest of the stuff was so clunky that it was unusable. The Skype app never worked and was tied to an extremely expensive proprietary camera, anyway.
Once they have your money, TV makers have no incentive to provide upgrades. In fact if it prolongs the usefulness of the TV, it positively hurts them. So give me a TV that is little more than a screen and input selection and I'll handle the rest with cheap add-ons that CAN be upgraded, or replaced for £50 rather than spending £££ hundreds on replacing the whole shebang, just because the old telly can't install the last, bloated, version of Google Play Services.
Plus, who's to say what the new "killer app" will be in a couple of years. All you can be certain of is that a smart TV you buy today won't have it.

Not smart (if that's bothers you).

Funnily, after deciding I wasn't going to buy that 49" Techwood because of the 1 year warrenty, I had a look around and saw this one too. Not sure if the smart thing is an issue as it will be used with a nvidia shield, but its always good to have. Reviews have put me off a little.

PS4 games are 1080p (1/4 of 4K) and Xbox One games run at just under 1080p in most cases. You would have no benefit what so ever from this.

as far as I know it would upscale but not sure to what extent and if it can benefit you. Samsung and sony for sure would upscale to 4k resolution, it means that would give a final screen resolution at 3840x2160. Picture would look softer but In my opinion will not improve quality (may be yes and gaining benefit would be down to the way you look at it if you think there will be any), some people do say it does. Other makes are rubbish to upscale. You would also be looking for a good low lag input and Samsung series2015 is the best on doing that. With a 4ktv you can also use your pc at 3840x2160 when needed and for games at full true 4k or less.

49" going down to £359 according to John Lewis Glasgow branch today, was instore and they told me to wait a couple of days as they're shifting them to make way for new stock. Won't make a deal just yet though as no ground to plant flag in!
