Is it better than a cheap 4K set? Depends on what you want to do. If you have little to no 4K content/use it for console gaming then almost certainly. Is 3D dead? Probably.
1 year warranty only. Other outlets are considerably more expensive, some do offer longer warranties though. This set is £70 more with a long warranty from Richer Sounds. You decide if it's worth the difference to you or maybe you can similarly insure this for less anyway.
Don't forget quidco, probably makes it closer to £420.

Don't bother wasting your time buying 3D. That ship sailed along time ago. How many people bought into 3D only to find that they rarely used it? Manufacturers are now focusing their efforts on 4K. So if you get one and there's an issue with the 3d part you'll have problems getting it repaired and will be offered a fraction of what you paid. invest in 4k which likely to be around a lot longer

Expensive at this price but a great tv. I own one bought last August.

48" for £430 for a decent panel is expensive?
i'm thinking of buying the top sony panel for £679 and it's 55" to give you a comparison and i think that is cheap but this tv is far cheaper per inch

here is a detailed review by a pro calibrator for all those that are clueless about tv's
Poor SD picture upscaling e.g SDTV and DVD. Slow motion processing, even narrower view angles than this. Average contrast. Painfully slow menu system. Debatable benefit of 4k on a relatively small screen.
It's ok but if you really want to 'invest' in a 4K TV for the future either pay at least twice this price for something big enough with genuine future proofed HDR support, or just wait. HDR is really the key to actual 4k advances, if you buy a 4k TV without support for it and claim you're future proofed you're probably making a mistake.

Been watching out for a price drop on this set, it never goes down by much so this is excellent. Apparently one of the best sets of recent years. It's discontinued now, so they will become available less often. Oh dear, I'm very tempted.

Oops! Misread it as 40 inch, which is the version I have. For 48 inch £429 is actually a good price.
