I've just undergone a change of tv. I previously had a 40" flat Samsung LCD but as I have Sky Q coming soon I decided it was time to upgrade to something a little more modern. Having had a good look around I came to the conclusion that this suited all my needs. Samsung UE49KU6500 49" Curved UHD 4K Smart LED TV I also purchased a Sony HT XT 100 sound base to go with it. Still getting used to it and am fine tuning it everyday but overall I'm very happy with my purchases.

My son has recently bought a Samsung 43' 4k ULTRA HDR TV for around the £480.00 mark.


I'm not a Samsung fan but this TV is bloody stunning to be fair.

I did look exactly at this one which seems a vey good one also with a relatively low price.

Still I have read that companies are stopping building curved tv and they have potential problems with light reflections vs flat

Also read that some have issues with using services like netflix etc so was curious to hear about experiences

He uses it mainly for his X-box

He only bought this size because it fits perfectly in the alcove in our man cave '

it's really beautiful.
