Looking at getting a 55 inch 4ktv and I remember seeing a lot of people say that the cheaper ones don't have HDR! Well this one seems good ?! Just want to check the reaction first before I buy. Thanks!

Have a look at the Hisense range with this sort of budget. Never heard of the brand but has 5 years warranty so not too bad. Be interested to see what other people say about quality of brand. Will be a rebadge no doubt.

Says this brand is a British one with the TVs put together by Vestel in Turkey.

It says HDR and 4K so surely this is the best ? Again I'm not an expert so any advice is appreciated !

The marketing for HDR has been rather a trainwreck. There are loads of cheaper TVs that claim HDR but don't have display hardware that's any different from a non-HDR TV. They seem to be doing it purely based on the fact that they can read HDR content.
If you want a TV with the improved picture quality the HDR technologies make possible, like improved contrast from more realistic highlights and light sources, then you will currently need to spend three or four times the cost of this one.
The price will come down in future, provide manufacturers haven't shot themselves in the foot by making customers think HDR doesn't make any difference. Or worse, a lot of cheap 'HDR' TVs go into lurid mode when fed HDR content and the picture ends up looking less realistic rather than more.

I've spotted a flaw in your reasoning.

It's a cheap TV made by Vestel.

Yeah - you have to take the description with a pinch of salt - I bought a no-brand full HD tv years ago and it just wasn't worth it. The picture was not that pleasant to view, and it developed a flicker after a view months, save a up just a little longer and get a decent brand, you wont regret it.

Thank you for that! So do you think this tv is no good ?

Yes this TV is no good. You can get real 10bit HDR TV's 49 to 55 inch between £700 to £1000. I would strongly suggest against this TV if you're interested in HDR.
