I saw a TV 15 one mentioned on HUKD, might be worth a try.

If you were willing to compromise on size a small bit, this represents great bang for your buck, and is quite possibly a better buy in that 43" to 50" range. Comparison of both here

Ended up getting the LG 49UJ635V. Collected it on Friday, brought it home took out of the box, connected everything up before taking the felty cover off the front - the f*cker was smashed to bits! Was so disappointed :pac:

Collected replacement from Argos yesterday, they were grand about it.

That looks sweet. I already have a 32" Samsung Tv and I'm so used to it. That might be a lovely upgrade.

Don't think it has HDR does it?

No, in the video he says it does not and that he personally thinks games look worse with HDR. I never experienced it myself so I do not know. He also says that, that monitor is a QLED which has a wider colour gamut than standard screen types and it also has a really low input lag.

It was all well until he says the price and it is only $700. Seems expensive to me.

I recently bought a HDR TV and games definitely look more vibrant.

A 4k HDR 32" monitor will run you around €1300

I've a HDR TV too and it's unreal, so I certainly don't agree with the opinion it makes games look worse.
In fact, that's complete nonsense.

I never seen a HDR game but I would be leaning to agree with you.

I didn't think there would be as big a difference in 4K and 4K with HDR.

I never seen it but I imagine the colours would pop a fair bit. More vibrant. Even more then going from a TN panel to an IPS.

Grahamer666 · 05-10-2017 2:14pm

I have a HDR set and while it's good i don't think it's anything amazing. The HDR implementation on the real high end models probably looks great but i'm not prepared to pay near 2 grand for a TV.

HDR or HDR 10?

Still happy with this one? I recommended it to a mate who was looking for one also.

maximoose · 05-10-2017 3:32pm

Yeah very happy with it, haven't been doing too much gaming on it since I bought it - played the opening of Forza 7 lastnight and god it was beautiful, can't wait to see how it looks on the X

Only complaint so far is from the OH that Narcos looks "too real" :pac:

its not delivery - you have to collect it in store, and tell them to apply the code at checkout.

that was last week now mind - you'd want to make sure that promotion is still running before you commit.

The specs confuse me. HDR10 is the basic open source, Dolby vision is a higher spec?
Read this after a Google:

[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]panels must be at least 4000 nits of brightness and 10-bit colour depth to take advantage of HDR[/font]

So brightness and colour depth affect how effective the HDR is it seems

Yes, but at the minute the Xbox only supports HDR10 not Dolby. I do not know if they can change that with a software update or if they needed some extra hardware to support it.

It's a Sony KD43XD8099BU. HDR10 afaik.

Fingleberries · 06-10-2017 1:12pm

I got a Samsung UE40Ku6400 because it said that it had HDR10 support. But It turns out that the display is only 8-bit, rather than 10-bit, so it is technically HDR capable, but you're not getting the full effect (i.e. I was jipped and there's not much discernible difference on this model)

Soarer · 06-10-2017 3:20pm

TVs with 10 bit panels aren't gonna be cheap.

If you're paying less than €1500, it's a safe bet it's probably not 10 bit.
