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.

Does it have Ceefax?

Not smart (if that's bothers you).

That's a bargain kids

Very good reviews

That smarts having no smart, use it a lot. Is there a version with smart functionality?

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.

does this support 4k @ 60hz?

Would this benefit me for gaming , xbox one or ps4. or am I best of sticking to a high end hd tv

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!

no smart tv cold

Any one use this as a PC monitor?

I see your question and raise you the questions of whether it has a 10 bit display; features Rec. 2020 colourspace; has EOFT of SMPTE ST 2084; and supports HDR10 Media Profile?

Christ on a bendy bus!

​But would it be less of picture rather than a high quality hd tv

I have the 49" version of this model. Its nice. No SMART features actually make this TV better. Get yourself an Amazon Fire TV with 4K or any other player and then you could possibly call any SMART TV 'smart'. I am personally using it with an oldish i5 core laptop connected via Display port -> HDMI cable in Full HD. Kodi works well.

Well, google is our friend. if you download the owners manual and look at page 13, the answer is
yes

Not sure what the lag is though.

As there is no 4k tv, 4k netflix is beyond a lot of broadband capacities, there is no 4k dvd (yet), xboxes and ps4s don't do full 4k (i think)...
isnt the only real world driver for a 4k tv (at the moment) a computer - and that needs 4k / 60hz at 4:4:4 with as little lag as possible for good results.
So this info should be up in the description for all 4k tvs imo.

not bothered if it has Smart TV but christ only 2 HDMI inputs what the hell is this with TV makers 3 should be a minimum now if you think what most people have now (Sky or similar, DVD/Blu Ray, and possibly a games console or fire box etc)

Fair points. Doesn't it make more sense to buy a non-SMART TV, then simply pair it with some sort of Android Box? This is sort of deal I will looking for when the time to buy arises.

None in stock near me sadly

RS Telesales have some. I got mine 2 hours ago.

Will the 4K be any use to somebody with regular HD TV/Streaming or Blu Rays?

Or is for the next stage of video/tv boxes?

Thank you, looks like it does

Can anyone try and report please??

Does it have Ceefax?

Will the green colour balance resolution make this suitable as a new screen for my telex terminal?

well you won't see any benefit - as your console is only capable of providing games at a maximum resolution of 1080p, however a gaming PC capable of 4K output would benefit from a 4K television

there's no harm in using your console on a 4K TV though

So which is it? 4k or Ultra HD? There's a difference in pixels.

Was that sarcastic? A 43 inch 4K TV is pointless unless you sit about three feet away from it AND have access to 4K sources (currently almost non-existent). However, if it works well as a PC monitor it can easily justify its existence. So I, for one, am very interested in the answer to that question.

Anyone interested in alternatives to smart tv i would highly recommened the amazon firestick with kodi installed.

This looks like a really good deal...thanks OP.
I'd be interested in using it both as a TV (there IS some 4K content around), and as a PC monitor for some eye candy gaming if it's up to it. There aren't any in my local store unfortunately, but is this worth a drive to one a bit further away?

Everytime you get a "will this be gud for my xbox, ps4 etc" for a 4k TV deal but these people never seem to bother going to google and finding out the max resolution of today's consoles. Takes like 30 seconds.

Good deal for a 4k TV regardless, although I think they're pointless unless useful as a PC monitor.

really don't understand why people want it "smart" from the box! just buy a chromecast or something similar to allow "smart" features:
- gives u wifi functionality
- u can connect your devices wirelessly and play content
- use for usual suspects like YouTube, iPlayer etc
all for under £30

i have both smart and not smart tv which i used chromecast with doesn't make much difference once u have chromecast or something similar really.

I've got this tv paid way over £500 for it last year I think it was around £580 it's a cracking tv I've hooked mine up to a nvida shield and it is awesome for Netflix 4K and YouTube

I agree, we bought an LG which had the 'Smarts'. 3 years Iplayer still works (but is a bit hit and miss on occasion) and to be fair the DLNA part is still as good as it was, and when I emailed LG support, my, how we laughed when we talked about possible updates and new apps!

If you want a smart telly, i would go for a plain screen, but add a smart box to it, an Amazon Firestick or similar

But can I still play bamboozle on this?

The TV upscales the image so it does have additional benefit, also the Nvidia Shield is a 4k console for both games and streaming.

4k almost none existent? Well bar from BT, Netflix, Amazon and YouTube...

I can't answer any of that but why do people try and make themselves appear so smart. If they were that smart they would know if the TV supported 4-4-4 or whatever nonsensical jargon. Google the make and model number and look at the specifications or is that the hard part?

the OP was talking about Xbox One and PS4

I do not know much about TVs and I just find the following post. At the bottom of the post there seems some discussion about “fake 4K” or "faux HD (RGBW) panels" of certain similar UF6xx model from LG:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lg-49uf675v-49-inch-ultra-hd-4k-led-tv-with-freeview-hd-527-tesco-2356097

Just wondering if this is true... Appreciate if anyone could help.

Likewise, Im looking at getting a 4K for exactly this reason, screw gaming in an uncomfortable chair where you could be gaming on the couch with better resolution.. I'm just not sure how the experience would really be.

And the TV upscales the image from a PS4 and XBone so what's your point?

If in doubt buy a Samsung. If you are further in doubt buy a Samsung with evolution kit.
If you are further than further in doubt you have absolutely no idea what you are buying so do not buy.
