    Hi, looking to buy a TV now, 49 or 50 inch.

    The thing is we only watch Saorview and Free-Sat so I'm not sure if I need a 4k as would it carry a good picture quality anyway considering I dont have access to HD channels as such? (I'm a novice).
    Something that doesn't give motion problems when watching sports on Saorview.
    Also I'd love to be able to wirelessly connect laptop to stream shows so does that mean I need it to be a smart TV too?

    Any recommendations would be fantastic coz I'm clueless about these things.

    Budget is max of 700 euro

    Thanks in advance  :)

    Hi One_Of_Shanks,

    If you are looking for a good TV without 4K and smart I would recommend the Sony KDL49WE663 at 699 euro:

    This is a great 1080p panel with smart hub and DLNA compliant for streaming across your network. You could use a 4K panel with smart features either through youtube or a 4k netflix subscription. The HDR panel will also give a better colour ratio on normal TV. If you are interested in 4K I would recommend the Panasonic TX49EX600 as a good starting point at 749 euro:

    Let me know what you think.

    Kind regards

    David
