Even a lot of the £700 tv screens don't have 10bit panels. Why do people insist on making this comments for low end television screens, it's absurd.

It's a £450 55" TV, nothing at this price has much in the way of HDR hardware. You need to be looking at stuff twice the price if you want that.

If only people understood instead of their misconceptions.
LCD has always been cheap to manufacture. From the early days of CCFL backlighting to the cheaper to produce LED edge lighting or such 'technological' advances as full array localised dimming to try to compensate black levels due to lack of contrast.
Throw in the buzz word "LED TV" to replace what still is "LCD", ramp up the production line with cheap 4K LCD panels, throw in HDR to a confused marketplace, leading to an onset of 10 million 4K sets unable to receive HDR10 content.
Add UHD to streaming options, don't tell the general public that with its streaming bitrate it is that compressed it is marginally better than 1080P Blu Ray disc titles.
Throw into the equation 4K Blu Ray discs....you know, physical media, the shiny discs most people scoff at these days...the only way to get true 4K content on 4K televisions without resorting to piracy (providing you have the bandwidth).
So, with that said, I vote this deal 'hot' its a good price for a 55" budget TV, but for anyone scoffing about Plasma, there is one word I have not mentioned yet 'OLED', the true successor to Plasma.
Personally, I am delighted with my cheap Plasma purchase with 5 years warranty at its production death knoll two years ago. Whilst I await the battle for the 4K format to mature, broadband speeds to meet required standards to stream true 4K content and OLED prices to drop I know that the picture on screen I am currently getting is way more to my liking.

HDR10? 10bit panel? Wide colour gamut?

If its Plasma I'd keep it. Its probably still got a better picture than most sub £1000 Tvs.
Thanx for the top tip I was more wondering if anywhere like cex take them. I have checked cex already and they don't take stuff that big

A friend bought one of these recently, went to look at it as I was after the smaller model for the bedroom. it's a good tv for the money, PS4 and Xbone look great, also can install kodi and other android apps picture is clear, brightness is a little weak, but what do you want for the price!
Not a Samsung SUHD, but you can get nearly 3 of these for the same cost! Bargain price for size, 4k and ambilight... heat added!
