60Hz refresh rate is the standard rate for 99% of TV's on the market.

The claims of "100 / 200 / higher" hz are for interpolation rates, but the display is still refreshed at 60Hz.

See my post here: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sony-kdl-48wd655-48-full-hd-smart-tv-wi-fi-black-led-tv-2016-model-for-384-99-delivered-2458124?p=28138978

Quite simply, there are very few TFT TVs that can truly do over 60Hz. The few that can do true 120Hz often have small artifacts (Sony X850D for example). The number is minuscule : http://uk.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-usage/pc-monitor/best
That's just for 'true' 120Hz - there are no screens out there that can do 200Hz on a TV, nevermind anything higher. TFT tech just isn't there.

And here is the kicker: Most home users will never touch the settings which allow interpolation of images, because it looks pretty crap to the general user. They have limited use outside of sports and other fast footage.

60Hz isn't "weak" - It's the standard that you want. UK broadcasts are 50Hz. Bluray should be 24p. Nothing else matters for 99% of people.

It's great marketing though.

There is a lot of misconceptions about like 8-bit vs. 10-bit (doesn't matter for panels) and HDR Premium being 'true' HDR.

If you want to understand the HDR Technologies then I found this link to be pretty good:

Basically HDR is a new and expensive thing made up of half a dozen different technologies that every TV implements to a different extent. A current top of the range TV will implement some of them fully and some partially and as you go down the range support gets degraded.

It's not like 4K where a TV either has it or doesn't

The most expensive technologies like backlight dimming are the first to get simplified and then removed. When you come to a £400 TV like this all you've got left is the ability to read HDR content with no hardware difference from a non-HDR TV.

If you want something that looks like an HDR demo then you need to add another grand to your budget. The refurbished DX902 at £1200 is an excellent deal. If that's too much then Samsung's KS7000 is often considered a decent entry level model for HDR at £800.

If you want good HDR you either need to wait a few years or buy a high end TV. Spending £400 if you're buying a new TV because of HDR is a waste of time.

just bought this... not sure I needed it... I needed a 40" panel and bought a 49".. let's see if the room has become bigger in the mean time... damn you HUK deals...!! :smiley: luv this forum!

All 4K HRD TV's are not the same, basically there's HDR 'premium' with a set of standards they abide by and non premium that can take a HDR signal but not necessarily display it as a true HDR image, this TV is the latter.

Seems a pretty good deal. Decent brand and has a cool gimmick, sub 400 for a 49inch 4k...heat from me!

Code doesn't work

if I've got this correct annoyingly the 43" is more expensive, 49" too big for us. heat for the deal.

Hope it's better than the Sony android equivalent

Code?

I have the 55" version and love it. The recent update stabilises everything and adds HDR to Netflix. Once you go ambilight you won't go back. Rastafari is the almighty.

Removing heat as code doesn't work

I have just bought a PS4 pro and I am looking for a decent hdr TV is this any good. if anyone could let me know would really appreciate it thanks
