Got excited ...until I noticed it was Goodmans :wink:

​Invest? It's just a tv. Buy it, if you don't like it then send it back. If it breaks then send it back. It's not an asset that will appreciate in value over time. It us just a tv. A disposable commodity. If I was looking for a new tv I would be buying this. However I bought a 55 inch seiki 2 weeks ago and it performs better than the previous 2 Toshibas. :smirk:

Must... resist.... getting... involved

If you're going to invest in a 4K tv do your research and read the reviews. I've no idea if this model is any cop but so many of these budget 4K's are awful. You could get an amazing HD tv for less than this and it will give you a much better picture than the vast majority of budget 4K's.
I jumped on the 4K bandwagon and bought a higher end model but my advice (not that that's worth owt) is save up your money and wait until the 4K content catches up with demand. HDR is coming.

​I can see the big picture. We are not talking about small mobile phone where 4k may be an over kill but very big size monitor where pixels are visible in low resolution.

No it does not after certain size. It shows picture as big dots. No one is comfortable with seeing pixels jotting out and being able count them, and sit very behind to not see them.

4k is being pushed very hard and looks set to be the standard over the next 5 years. But a good hd set will produce a better overall picture than a poor 4k set. A good 4k set that supports ultra hdr is likely to cost £700 upwards if not more.

A good oled set supporting ultra hdr will produce a better picture than all but the very best 4k sets.

​4k does not show big dots in large size screen TV like 1080p does. 4k can play 1080p but not the other way around. Most of 1080p TVs are half price or less today because not everyone is stupid like you and buying old rubbish . 1080p and old hdmi 1.4 do not even have enough bandwidth so it cannot even to show the picture properly and refresh the screen, however good the source or the screen . Unless you have hdmi 2.0 and hevc you cannot even play modern movies and shows the way they were shot and are supposed to be watched. Now even playstation One s and nvidia tv player, are full 4k, so 1080p is dead. You can deny the truth but the world is not stupid like you and stopping at 1080p.

The detail is the picture is just one facet of picture performance; seems like your misunderstanding what 4k is.

4k by default won't give you better motion handling, contrast, colours, brightness, back light uniformity, viewing angles etc

sorrys jvc stopped making the tvs in 2008 and is outsourced to vestal now in turkey but dixons carphone (currys digital) have distribution and warranty rights under license from jvc kenwood.

thought Goodman's was Curry's PC World own brand...?

News to me. Thats why there's 2016 models, is it ?
And don't fall back on "they don't make them themselves" ALL companies have at least a large part of their TVs made abroad. Thailand, often. All over the place. Yes, and they were some made by Vestel too. And yes, Curry's had an agreement where they sold JVC .....er......like quite a few other places.

I see, thanks.

​stop whining

​Surely the moral is buy what you want and what you can afford. Don't be bullied by the brand addicts . A tv is a tv. It's not a life changing event. In the words of Why Don't You? "Why Don't You Just Switch Off Your Television Set and Go Out and Do Something Less Boring Instead" :sunglasses:

why would I want to spend £2000 on a tv that my kids are going to wipe sticky fingers all over, throw toys at and shoot darts at? In any case it's going to be outdated within 12 months and will be replaced after 2 years. my time of actually being bothered by brand names has long past. Anyway everyone will be having this same discussion when 8k hits the high street in the near future! lol

Moral of the story here folks Don't buy rubbish unbranded tv's like this fool!

Nearly £550 notes for a Goodmans and its getting voted hot..
Your all avin a laugh...This place has gone right to the dogs...Jeez! :man:

Love these comments. Have you seen how subtle the curve is?? I'm sat in my lounge now with 4 other people, and we can all see my curved TV perfectly well. Just a pity we're watching England and Sam Allardyce is still using the generic team sheet!

p.s. It's not a Goodmans!

JVC themselves no longer make TVs, and it was Comet that were slapping a JVC logo on cheap TVs, not Currys.

Sorry about the long paragraph, but just used Sony as a example, Samsung, Panasonic use there own video procceessor, there lot factors for good image quality, most people thing Yeah budget 4k tv better then branded full HD but there wrong good quality 1080p will in most cases provide you better picture then budget 4k tvs.

It's not just the panel, video Processing, it's the most important thing, Sony use the own designed x reality pro engine, The X-Reality PRO Engine compares patterns in the image against patterns in the internal database to determine the best possible hue, saturation and brightness for each pixel. In this way, the system restores detail lost in compression and transmission. So fine texture in plants and clothes is optimized. The system also reduces noise and reproduces optimum contrast, color and sharpness.

This why you pay for top brands like Sony they invested millions on research so your picture looks good all the time. Goodmams will using a 5 year old off the shelf video procceessor that'd why they cheap, 4k don't mean nothing if don't have the right electronics to drive the panel.

Also it's curved. Which is gimmicky nonsense.

You must be trolling.

I'd say buying a tv is a pretty major investment for most folks. Maybe not if you're buying Seiki or Toshiba though :wink:

Not a professional one whose life and discussions orbit around what they've watched on TV ?

There's only one person touting rubbish here.....

There's so much more than just screen resolution to consider - the budget brands often have noticbly worse upscaling and motion processing - so unless you're using a native 4k source can look significantly worse than the competition. At anything like normal viewing distances an average human eye can only perceive the resolution of 4k from under 2m away, so unless your room is incredibly small you may as well stick with 1080p.

If you were to look at this side by side with a top of the range 1080p like LGs OLED there is no way you would say that all 4k are better than all 1080p - which is further backed up by the recent obervations that HDR seems to make more of an impact on image quality than 4k in real world conditions.

I'm sure the picture will be just fine, unlikely to be the best of the best but wouldn't expect that at this price, seems an amazing amount of TV for the price, not everyone is totally obsessed with their 1080p vs 4k, 4K seems a bit pointless to me at the moment, its not available over the air, probably never will be and my BT TV box doesn't support 4K.

Personally, unless the TV is UHD premium certified, I wouldn't bother. Was planning on a purchase this year but will likely wait till next year when uhd premium sets are nearer this price.

Not 8K. Cold.

it does look a decent spec without paying the Samsung...L.G.....Sony prices ....maybe for (and don't take this the wrong way) its a Mid to but just under a High Spec TV...for the Amateur TV viewer...Your text here

No, JVC are about a hundred times the size of PC World/Currys
Like saying Bayer Chemicals are Boots own brand ! :laughing:

Eventually the name makes will need to reduce their prices to this level. They're already dropping fast

These are manufactured (assembled) here in the UK by Cello - they're not bad, certainty a few cuts above Vestel

A dumb question perhaps but will HDR just be on 4 K TVs or on HD ones in future? Not sure if am bothered about 4K or not ? Can you actually see the difference. May be pushed into it if everything eventually goes 4K and you have no option but to do it. Will that happen. Not Samsung was showing off 8K TV recently.......

I didn't realise goodmans still 'made' things, good on them

Goodmans are still in business?

I saw 4k film in Thailand Phuket holiday, exploring the shopping center there some time ago. I'm not sure on this particular tv vs 1 of 1000's of 1080p tv's, as regarding tv's and image quality its not only the 1080p or 4k that makes the whole experience and visual flow. A friend had a beauty of a Panasonic 1080p tv, though probably due to low hurtz all fast images in a football match say were a blur. 4k is far superior visual technologically. It is the successor to the 1080p technology for us consumers ... Unless skipped for 8k :smiley: which is another story and future development. Its not just a question of 4k. Can a 1080p tv be better than a 4k, sure of course it can. It could even look better quality wise ... Considering what other tv technologies are used. However, on a whole 4k manufactured tv's with all reasonable trimmings will surpass in visual quality all 1080p.

​There are exceptions but 4k is much better. I have even full HD Oled TV compared with 4k led TV and 4k was much better. Hate those trying to downplay better technology with their false rhetoric.

​This guy, seriously Sam stop commenting about 4K on every post. The Seiko 4k is absolute dogpoo, premium FullHD sets are far better than budget 4k sets. Its not just the resolution that dictates the quality of a panel

Cheaper 4K 55' out there COLD

Sorry, I agree with grv999 - a good 1080P TV (e.g. TH 55W905 by Sony, 3 years old now) will knock the spots off a budget 4k TV now.

Like with digital cameras, a good 12MP camera can easily outshine a cheap nasty 20MP camera, the same applies here.

Motion handling, contrast, backlight uniformity, colour reproduction, clouding, light bleed etc etc .... there is so much more to it than just 'more dots = better images'

Heat for the deal because it's cheap for what it is. I certainly wouldn't buy one though, but different priorities for different people and all that...

Must... resist.... getting... involved

Some reviews on Amazon

Nice to look at but you don't want to let it open its mouth, much like Will Smith

The picture on this TV is difficult to get right, I have put an Xbox One and PS4 through it and both required a lot of fiddling, it's still not great and there's not as many options to fiddle with to improve it as the Xbox One guide suggests but it's getting better, if you perservere and learn a bit about it then it helps. The on screen writing wasn't very clear and hard to read, which was suprising coming out of an Xbox One onto a HD screen however after much toil and sleepless nights wondering why the TV hated me I realised I had neglected to put my glasses on and this situation improved the realtionship between me and the TV a lot. We are going for a meal later so it's going well. The included freeview and 'online' apps however have caused this blossoming realtionship to sully somewhat.

The sound is another thing, when I first turned the TV on I was greeted by what I can only describe as kittens playing covers of Slayer songs on broken equipment in a wind tunnel, Jeremy Kyles dulcit tones of anger had been rendered to robotic fury that was more tinny than a tin factory made of tins that was owned by someone called Tin Tin. I had to get external speakers it was that bad. So the TV, like the year 2016, has lost of few stars due to that.

Don't get me started on letting Hermes delivered it though....
