For those who have bought this TV, can you share your opinion of what it is like for watching normal SD channels?
We do still watch a lot of non-HD stuff and therefore I was going to get a non 4K tv - but there are so many deals of 4K tvs, I keep getting tempted....
My shortlist is LG around 40-43" - as we have 2 older smaller LGs and they have been rock solid for years - just one remote went recently.

After much deliberation (past few months) looking at loads of HUKD deals, reading all the various debates i.e. 8bit panels vs 10 bit panels bla bla bla I finally decided to buy a TV and chose this LG. What swung it for me was I came to the conclusion that I was going to just settle for a quality 1080 LED as their prices are rock bottom. I made this decision based on the argument of the distance from my sofa to the TV - 10ft. Looking at the guides to see what size TV I would need to even appreciate 4k at 10ft would result in purchasing a TV that would measure 75" (£2800+). I started to look at quality 1080 Samsung's and saw this post and figured it was only about £25-50 more expensive than a standard 1080. Leaving the whole 'it's not true 4k' debate out of the question I have to say I'm really impressed with the TV. Picture quality is better than I expected - Colour and contrast is great. 4K on Nvidia Shield looks stunning. Unsure how Steam streamed games will look but again not fussed. Happy that I have a TV in my living room that looks sensible rather than some huge monstrosity stuck to the wall.

Got the 55" yesterday.

Happy with it. Great picture for the money.

Been playing around, can't quite get settings right. Also can't find settings on net for it. Probably because Argos exclusive model.

If you want a reliable good quality standard 1080p TV, your set with 5 years warranty . Apparently has issues with Amazon Video and sound isnt the best.

Few things:
Do you see yourself using 4K in the near future? If not, then not a huge concern.
Do you sit further away from your TV, because a 33" vs a 48" is a bigger difference than you may think. Really you would want the bigger TV to have the higher the resolution i.e. 4k for the 48".
Do you use apps or online services? because this tv doesn't act very well with them apparently.

The thing is that the new 4K TV's are more future proofed in resolution, design (most cases), and software. Plus some decent 4K TVs are around at a lower price.

If you don't care that much about 4k but are interested, this tv is technically 4k and does a good job at upscaling your content to look better in terms of resolution and has very good feedback on picture quality overall and colours.

bottom line; the Sony TV is very good and will do you great for the next year or two, but after that I dunno. Rather you get the longer warranty and you enjoy 1080p for 5+ years (or until u sell) and a bigger screen. Or you get a 4K TV with less warranty but functionally better device and smaller screen. Third option is wait till black Friday :smiley:

You want more details you would need to ask someone with a bit more knowledge. but i hope i helped :smiley:.

http://www.argos.co.uk/product/3921351 Think RicherSounds and JohnLewis have now pricematched but with long warranty.

Could you show me the link and ill have a quick look over :smiley:

Don't know what all that technical stuff means, its my other half buying it. Our TV just packed in a couple nights ago. We have a Sony 37 inch at the moment, got it about 7/8 yrs ago and been great til now so just a bit desperate to get something. Bonus with Argos is we can pick it up today! Just dont know. Whats your thoughts on the Sony 48inch £349 Argos tv?

I did a lot of research over the last few days and been completly put off LG now. They use an RGBW display which is not propper 4K. If I were you I would look for Samsung UE40KU6000 or UE40KU6500. Problem is they both have 8-bit panels.

If u want real HDR10 with a 10 bit display, the cheapest i can find is the Sony KD43XD8088BU, but obviously its dearer

Yes, quidco.
Ordered fast track at 10pm thursday night and got an email that cashback had tracked friday morning.
Not collected the tv yet but my father in law is saying LG are not the best. He is 70+ and worked in a tv repair shop for years and says best stay away from LG - better with Sony/Samsung or cant remember the other one.

Thinking of cancelling now as I see I can cancel online. Wonder if the cashback will not clear now or how that works.

My £39.90 cashback has been tracked. Ordered last night.

So...is this actually going to show a good 4K image or not? Got Sky Q and want to utilise it...(without spending £2,000 on a TV!)

it's outside, so you're good to go.

Hmm, if that's to the outside of the feet.

I'm good, cos my unit is 110cm wide. If it's just the distance in between. It won't fit.

Hmm

Quidco also has (or had when I ordered) a 10% cashback offer on tv's over £300.

Anyone have recommended settings for this tv? I've yet to buy a tv that looks good out of the box and even though this is a gift I will inevitably be the one setting it up. Problem is my colour vision is a bit crappy so my perfect settings aren't what others may like, means I generally need to follow a guide

Really tempted by this but is thrrr anything bettering this atm? Or wait for Black Friday?

Going to go for the 55" version if it will fit my tv stand.

Could someone measure the distance between the two feet? Can't find the information anywhere online.

No one able to measure distance between the feet on the 55"?

Just ordered one for collection tomorrow, bonus if 10% quidco shows!

is it worth getting the 43UH750V compared to this which is the 43UH650V?

Anyone got this. Our TV has just gone on the bung tonight and other half is about to buy one fast track, hoping to get the 10% quidco

So is this better than the Samsung Ue50ku6000 that was going for £499 the other week?

Looking for a reasonable 50" 4k tv for £500 and missed out on the Samsung.

Nice but I'm broke.

Software updates do improve items I have purchased !!!

Well i bit and bought one (43") ! Hopefully the 10% Quidco cashback tracks. Will do the job for the bedroom TV on the wall. Cheers OP :smiley:

Really tempted by this but is there anything bettering this atm? Or wait for Black Friday?

I've heard Hisense smart features are a bit clunky (even though the hardware is said to be pretty good).

It's a gift I'm buying and the person I'm buying it for needs a smooth experience on the various apps. Still so tempting though as it is £70 cheaper.

Does this TV support HDR 10 or Dolby Vision?
Im looking for a new tv for the xbox one s however it only supports HDR 10. Please can you help? Thanks.

Hello Lee 360

Thank you for your question, the 6401 supports 10 bit colour from source device and is HDR Plus compatible.

Hope this helps.
Helpful?Yes (8)No (0)

so the 43inch is a kids bedroom tv lol plus u need a good 4k feed like i said if u go to the movies the bigger the screen the better but if want to make the jump from hd to uhd size matters lol

Philips 43PUS6401 43 Inch 4K Ultra HD Ambilight Smart TV argos same price and HDR 10 bit panel for me 4k on anything under 55inchs is pointless? i.e. mobile phones with 4k screens thats why all these small 4k old stock tvs are cheap!

Or you posting on every single TV deal to tell them that a TV for £400 doesnt have the same functionality as a TV for £1200

Doesn't have proper HDR either but that won't stop people from buying it.

Isn't this one of those RGBW tvs and therfore not proper 4k

Oho you sure got me! Gosh darn it

As i found out with upgrade software called WIFE 2.0......What a pain in the ace that was.

Anything not UHD premium or one of Sony's equivalent sets is a waste of cash imo.

Does make me smile when manufacturers say it will support HDR with a 'software update'

good value - quidco are doing 10% cashback for TV's over 299 making it even better value! have some heat! :sunglasses:

The TV is the same as the UH610V that is sold everywhere else, the only difference being this has 2 usb ports where as the 610s have 1.

Its a very good TV for the money, sounds a lot better than the phillips

Is it 3d though, couldn't see.

That's why it's called 'software' !!!

​Software updates don't improve/change the hardware unfortunately..

Got a link to the discussion on that tv?

Which would be better this or the Phillips 43PUS6401 I am stuck between the 2. Leaning towards the Phillips as it has Android. Thoughts?

The Philips has double the warraty and ambilight if that helps?

Seems like this model is an Argos exclusive. Heat added all the same. The 'short' warranty is a worry but I thought that about the panny Plasma that is still going strong ...that I bought 7 years ago from Comet!

I was wondering how good this would be as a computer monitor. The short answer is that it would work well.

I found a review (in Spanish) which checks the features which are important for use as PC monitor: 4:4:4 chroma and input lag. It supports the former in all 60 Hz modes and the latter appears acceptable (if not great).

(heat added!)

Edit another review seems to indicate the input lag is even better than the 40ms stated by the first review
http://blog.cobrason.com/2016/05/input-lag-tv-2016-samsung-lg-panasonic-sony/

does this have a warranty

Just read the reviews might get this can't see it dropping much more on Black Friday .

me too, still heat

Heat added. This got some heat back in August for a much higher price. Seems like the tv has decent reviews too. I would hold off until Black Friday though (just in case).
