A bit late on this, but, Currys Megastore in Wednesbury, had a big opening weekend this weekend and today (Monday 3rd October) is the last day. Bought myself the LG 43UH620V 4K TV yesterday for £349, think the cheapest elsewhere is Currys normal price of £449, think RRP is around £600. Anyway, set it up last night and the picture is stunning, can't believe you can get a picture that good for that little amount of money.
It has WebOS 3.0 and 3 HDMI, so that's a bonus as well. Personally, I think it's a real bargain, so if there are any local people to this Currys I would probably take a punt on it, they had quite a few left yesterday when I bought mine, think they were selling 250 in total.
Might be a bit late on this, but, I guess it's worth a try while the sale is still on.

Amazon and Netflix are the only 4K broadcast content in the UK currently - and you have to have the broadband capable of bringing it down.
Heck, most UK TV promoted as HD is still only 720P and will be for some years to come.
Most people would be better off just buying a good 1080P panel and using it for several years until we begin to get 4K content in the UK. A 1080P bought today will probably be old and knackered before true 4K is available widely in the UK.

The only thing I managed to view was the 4K content on Amazon Prime that I pay for, I watched the US Version of Mad Dogs last night and it was stunning. I know Netflix have 4K as well but you have to pay extra for it and I only have the standard membership. I put a 4K video on YouTube and it was incredible, that's what I tested the picture with.

Thought Sky were already broadcasting in 4K (Ultra HD) now with the Sky Q box?

Sky Q silver has at least movies and boxsets in 4K, i don't have sports so don;t know about that.
BT TV has BT Sport in 4K too.

You can have the TV today, in fact, today is the only day you can have it, it won't be available in a couple of days.

They say so don't they with the silver Q box. Whether they are or not I don't wish to comment. I just recall loads of advertising some years back for HD and people assumed it was full 1080P HD but it turned out to be 720P and continues to be so for much of HD broadcasting.
I just had the black Q box installed last week and it is not 4K.
I suspect that we are going to get lots of providers offering 4K as a means to jump on the bandwagon and make money from selling extra services to everyone buying a 4K TV - or what they think is a 4K TV. Just as what happened when everyone was buying 1080P TVs despite many broadcasters only offering 720P.
