Have been given the chance of a 4k TV for £93 a month for 12 months. Only thing I'm worried about is content and 'only' running it from my Sky+HD box which is only ever going to be 1080i at most. Does anyone have one? It's an LG 49" model.

I'm beginning to think that 4k now is too soon. I have a 1080p TV already which, despite being 5 years old still has a great picture so I'm thinking I will leave it. Will be much cheaper next year too!

Having looked at a HDTVTEST review of the TV I can get I'm steering clear just now.

The LG 49UB850V is not only the worst 4K TV we’ve tested, it’s also the worst-performing television we’ve reviewed to date in terms of image quality. Its subpar picture performance is made all the more difficult to accept by the display’s retail price of £1500.
