which 55" tv please

[dba7108]

havent looked at TV's for years as our trust 10 year old Sony was ok but looked a bit dated and small now at 32". Re -doing the lounge and thought 55" would be best size. Is 4k worth it? I dont watch that many films and Full HD seems fine to me.

The 2 tv's i had it narrowed down to are:

LG 55UB850V
Panasonic TX66AS740B

The LG is 4k the Panasonic isnt. Both are around £1000. I dont play any games nor watch stuff on 3d. The tv will be mainly used for freewatching and the odd bit of film watching with the wife off netflix.

Suggestions please. P.s. Did look at the Sonys's in John Lewis but they are quite deep especially with their built in bracket so wife ruled them out!
Sound will be via my seperate hifi so internal sound not that important.

I agree with most of the above - after seeing the two sets in the flesh they were both about the same. I remember buying a 3d tv when they first came out with my ex wife and it was overpriced cack to be honest that I never used. I like the look of the panasonic and it also uses quite a lot less electricity, something I hadnt really thought of but as the kids tend to switch it on and then walk off for hours then I guess it is a bonus!

Regarding the Sony I thought the bottom sticked out? I have a new 32" model that i use as a pc monitor and from what id seen the other sizes bulge out at the bottom but maybe not the 55" as someone said above.
