Great price for this TV. Use it for working on and recent update gives it HDR mode although some fanatics debate the purity of the HDR. Get it now before it's too late!
Woo hoo! Thanks for making it hot. Enjoy your new TVs, I can vouch for that!

For the same reason a Skoda has 160MPH on the speedometer. Makes you THINK you can go really fast. You can't.

Great deal. However, it is not a case of fanatics debating the purity of HDR... you simply cannot achieve it on this TV lol! There is no debate to be had. It's like saying fanatics debate whether a Ferrari is actually faster than a Skoda... no, it actually is!!

How noticeable is a good HDR set to a lower end one to the untrained eye I wonder?
EmperorRosko to Hiltron09
26 Nov 162#25
Well HDR content is quite slim at the moment, so unless you aim to buy a UHD Blu-ray player, Xbox one, or ps4 pro, you won't notice a thing. Many of the official games to support the PS4 Pro don't actually have HDR, they are just higher resolution. Just buy the best TV you can afford at the time of wanting one or you'll be waiting forever, for that perfect TV that does everything!
moneysavingkitten to Hiltron09
26 Nov 161#30
The lower end ones can only put out about a 3rd of what the 'proper' ones can, which gives the contrast. It's the brightness you would notice I would imagine.

Ignore them honestly. I had the eBuyer 40" 4k before this and had to send back 3 sets then it got discontinued. Thought no chance of a 4k tv/monitor at the same sort of price then this cropped up. So much better and well worth the extra £50 from the eBuyer version all day long.

Had the 50" a few weeks and is great for the price. My only critcism (ish) could be colours appear bit washed out if you don't watch centrally. Its not a dealbreaker for me but is noticeable at angles closer to the screen.

For £249 I will take a risk ( and will get used to it too :smiley: ) . For my use as a monitor for media and everyday work on couple windows it will be excellent. 40" 4K monitor :smiley: - I would not find it cheaper anywhere.
But for a living room TV it also should be ok (especially at this price). I do not have big expectations from £249 TV.

Jams80

As I first stated, this is a great deal, no doubt about it. But anyone thinking they are getting a full HDR experience with this set is sadly mistaken. Sets twice the price can't manage that, but for what it is, yes, great deal.
Jams80
26 Nov 16#34
It's still a valid point... this doesn't even come close to meeting the requirements for HDR in terms of brightness or colour gamut. Doesn't mean it's not a good deal for a 4K 40" TV though, because it is.
I sincerely hope you mean a track, airfield or autobahn for the 144mph btw!

Got the 49" for £211 from Amazon Warehouse a couple months ago. Very good quality (for the price) for 4K content. At this price it's not really up for debate about its HDR capability - just take a punt until the 10-bit OLED TVs come down to a more reasonable price range.

I went to JL direct and they price matched. Samsung 6020 all day long. £285 good deal guessing AO new customer deal etc. Personally with TVs for me its JL or RS with the warranty etc. I heard sound is decent but soundbar if needed no bother.
neel88984003
27 Nov 16#54
I actually preferred the 6020 to the 6400. 6400 has freesat and was £399. Don't need freesat. Wait for JL to be in stock and go direct.

2. The JVC LT-40C860 for £236 [ after Quidco 12% cashback for the next 14 hours ]
3. The Samsung 6020 - for £307 [ after Quidco 12% cashback for the next 14 hours ] or £349 from Richer Sounds (but with 6 year warranty)

Jams80
27 Nov 161#64
Of course it does. But no one is an idiot for pointing out that HDR isn't fully realised on this TV, because it blatantly will not be. That DOES NOT mean you won't have a good picture. But if you were to put it beside a TV with 10-bit panel, wide colour gamut and 1000 nits brightness (minimum requirement for HDR standard) you would see a world of difference. These are just the facts. Still a bargain though, as you'd pay 3-4 times as much for a TV that meets minimum HDR standard.

Go preach elsewhere, most of us know the difference but for a TV for the kids or second or third room this is a great buy. If you want to spend 1k plus on every TV you buy go ahead just stop rambling on about the bloody thing when people say they have the TV and like it.

Cracking TV for the price, I use one as a computer monitor. For the cash it's a real Hot deals bargain.
No it's not 10 bit, for that go spend a grand.
HDR on all TV's is a con, unless you have a 10 bit panel. we all know this after following any 4K tv thread on this forum.
As a second TV or a computer monitor it really cannot be faulted at the price, Hell even as a main TV it's good.
Jams80
27 Nov 162#69
LOL, since when is pointing out facts preaching haha?? It seems you're one of those people who just don't like to hear the truth, and if you think most people know the difference you're sadly mistaken. Most people are gullible suckers for marketing when it comes to buying TV's... if they weren't, Currys wouldn't even exist as a high street entity! I've made it abundantly clear that I think this is a great deal and an excellent TV for the money, but bizarrely you seem to be somehow offended by the facts.

Can someone who owns this TV tell me if the app store on it contains either KODI and/or Smart IPTV ? Or, if it doesn't, is it possible to load apps off a USB stick ?
Evouk
27 Nov 16#71
I have the 43" version of this and for the price I can't really complain. Yes I know it's not going to be true HDR but it doesn't bother me in the slightest, if I wanted true HDR I would've paid a lot more. These peeps who slate this brand really need to grow up. I'm pretty sure most people realise you get what you pay for in this world so I cheap TV won't always provide the real deal. I will say the picture does require some tweaking (check out avforums for more info) as it's not great out of the box. Viewing angles aren't great either unless you're pretty much in front of the screen. But for £249 can you really complain?
newmann
27 Nov 161#72
Your eyes don't need training. They can already see that many colours but some tv's can't produce them which is why we see gradients.
Evouk
27 Nov 16#73
You can't do neither, best to get a android box or Firestick tbh. The smart TV bit isn't the best as it uses its own app store. Netflix, YouTube, Amazon etc all work well. It does have Plex listed.

Jams80
27 Nov 16#83
Due to the marketing lies and subterfuge and general complexity of the tech, most people just seem to be understandably clueless as to what HDR actually means and what's required to display it. You need a 10-bit panel for a start, wide colour gamut and a brightness of 1000 nits to meet the required standard for HDR. Most TV's do not get anywhere near this, if the processing equipment of the TV cannot adequately process these images, the resultant processing will 'crush' the dynamic range of the image, which goes against the whole point of HDR. In the worst case, they may throw away bits, which will result in significant contouring of the gradients.
AdamBrunt to Jams80

Make a Flubit account. Then place a 'demand' which is just copying a product link in and it will find you a cheaper offer via a 3rd party merchant. Complete the transaction by opening Flubit via Quidco and completing purchase. You have a cheaper offer and cashback too.

moneysavingkitten
27 Nov 161#90
It has the ability to process HDR, but the screen isn't good enough to display most of the detail in what's being processed, so you won't see it.
Don't know how people make this so complicated, it only takes a sentence :smiley:
logy
27 Nov 161#91
Opinions please:
I'm not particularly interested in smart or 4K right now (use a dedicated box anyway and no 4K content).
Sign up for a Flubit paid account(Elite), price offers are pretty much instant(takes hours on a free account) - means you can use it in real time for price comparison. When I signed up it was £15/year which they refund if you don't save that much. Easy to save loads of money even if you don't use it all the time - also they tend to deliver fast for Elite purchases, take their time on the free account.

Cheers in advance
nicsolarfield
28 Nov 16#99
Yes the PS4 PRO is detecting 4K and when you play a HDR game such as The Last Of Us the PRO will detect the compatability. You have many options for screen res. Make sure to update the firmware in the settings.
I have the 49'' Hisense and ordered this for the man cave. Delivery on Wednesday so we shall see.
Another thing to note is I realise I have the 49M3000. The M3300's are supposed to be better. Newer model I guess.
