So...I've been looking for a good, not massive, 4K telly for my new PS Pro.
I missed out on the deal from Argos and saw today's deal at Tesco (£588) that had gone hot and was due to bite. One quick search later and found the same telly at Co-Op electrical with a 5 year guarantee and with 50 quid off = £549.99 (there is a £4.99 delivery charge on top)
Going through Topcashback gives 4% off that making it £528 +delivery once it's been paid. (4% cashback ends in 5 days)
If you don't want to go through TCB the code you need at the Co-Op checkout is CPTV50
That's £56 quid cheaper for me, than the Tesco deal and includes the 5 year guarantee, if that doesn't make this deal hot, I don't know what is :smiley:
By the way, this deal is for the black one, the silver is 20 quid more and the larger 49" is £584.98 after cashback
And I'm also none the wiser whether it's 8 bit, 10 bit or 8+2 bit either, but reviews seem positive
I got the tele just before black Friday from Argos for £500. Great set and fantastic with my xbox one s. Haven't notice one bit of lag or motion blur which is common in the Samsung on CoD, Battlefield or Fifa.
My xbox recognises it as a 10 bit tele and so does my sky q but think it's a 8 + 2.
You won't get a better tele without having to spend another £200 on top. That's a fact. especially when it comes to gaming. The fps are very low when put on the game setting though the tv.
It's a VA panel as well so has sharp contrasts but the one downfall is tge colour does start to fade when at a big angle but nothing major.
I've played about with the calibration setting but the setting out of the box are fantastic.
I have noticed I need to HDR on when watching ultra HD films on sky q. It does make the picture even better, but only really beneficial for movies. Even though the HDR setting is auto, for the ultra hd films on sky q it doesn't seem to want to put it on.
It does however automatically come on when watching ultra HD content on Amazon.
Maybe that's not a problem with the tele but more so the fact the sky q doesn't signal the movies as HDR required.
Any other questions about it, let me know. Hopefully can help.

49inch is a good price. 43inch tends to be too big for most bedrooms and too small for most lounges.

We currently have a 37" Panny plasma, which is nearing the end of it's days, and it's the right size for our lounge. Including the bezel it's pretty much 43" so this is perfect for us.
Agree though the 49" is a good price..

The only other slight negative I have is the is a case of DSE (dirty screen effect) when watching the footy, especially is the tvs live football setting.
This isn't so much a problem with the tv itself but more the fact it's an edge lit screen. DSE is found in pretty much every edge lit tele so can't be avoided.
It's not a major problem though.

Sony are usually the best TVs for gaming. Definitely going for a Sony for my next upgrade. However you need a bigger screen for 4k surely? 49 or higher if you can house it.

The Samsung KS7000 has the best input lag at 21ms with HDR enabled, on a 10 bit panel..

You'd hope so when they make the PS4. Life really should be that logical always! :stuck_out_tongue:

better tv for less than £100 more

It's not a major problem though.
