Seems like a very nice price for a lot of TV. I'm really tempted to upgrade my ageing 42" 1080p non-smart LG set, especially getting an Xbox S with HDR gaming. Should I?....

Any TV that is 8 bit and claims HDR, only allow the signal to be processed, you won't actually see the gains.
Some TVs then do 8 bit + frame rate control. slightly better image and colour reproduction, but for movies only, as this method adds massive input lag for gaming.
If you are looking at gaming on the Xbox One S and PS4 Pro, make sure the panel is 10bit, and do some research regarding its input lag.
Sony and TV manufacturers are not helping at all with all of the shady bullcrap they put in their marketing.
For gaming, you must make sure the Game mode supports the HDR feature. Anything over 40ms lag, and you'll start to feel it quite a lot in first person shooters.

Price would suggest a 8 bit HDR panel and Xbox One games are 10bit so don't rely on the HDR if your deciding

Can you suggest a good TV for price to performance/quality?

You should definitely research the performance/quality with reference to the price. I can recommend that the TV with the best performance would be one where the quality is very good for the price and that you are getting the right quality as well. Only a suitable TV would fit that requirement but would be a lot more than others that cost less. In the 49" TV version then I would recommend you at least look at the manufacturers where quality is really superb and you get reasonable performance but it is worth paying for. Many more expensive TV's can compete but I think the one I suggest really meets all your needs. Good luck.

Decent prices on the Samsung K7000 models right now it would fit your needs some are holding back mind you with black friday drawing nearer.This particular TV will give no benefit for HDR and also with it's UH 6 designation it's likely to be a FauxK panel rather than full 4K only LG produce these panels.

Smart TVs are a menace - they will be bug-ridden and go out of date very quickly. Dongles such as Chromecast are the way to keep ahead of the game. Don't pay a penny more of a "smart" TV than a "dumb" one.

Everything goes out of date at the same speed. At exactly one second per second which is quite fast.

Hard to buy a TV without smart, most people use their PVR's anyway and don't have to worry about out of date smart features.

?!?! Smart tv's update like a phone, apps you can add what you want. How can it be out of date? You haven't had one before have you?

No it doesn't. The expensive parts of TVs (displays, power supplies, mechanics) do not evolve nearly as rapidly as the software and processing requirements of the ancillary "smart" features, which are very similar to mobile phones.

True, but just pointing out to the OP that "smart" is not a selling feature.

I have some software on a 9 year old iPod and it is not out of date but the hardware cannot connect to the new MacBook pro with out the latest bit of hardware cable.
