Ultra HD Premium 4K TVs
Discussion
Hi all!
So I'm thinking of replacing the TV (7 year old Sharp Aquos) which to be fair is still in perfect working condition. However it's fairly old now and I'm really tempted to watch some 4K content.
The choice seems to be abundant for the 47"-55" size range however I've noticed few are tagged as "Ultra HD Premium certified". These also seem to command a premium over the usual UHD 4K TVs and are priced over £1300+.
My question is, should I wait around a while longer? I'm looking for 55" max size which can support Netflix 4K streams. Ideally I would like to spend about £800ish definitely below a grand.

I'm looking into purchasing in summer so in 2-3 months.
I have a 4K Samsung 28" PC monitor and have watched a 4K Netflix stream and I can't really tell difference.
The demo video I see in the shops looked really sharp but I suppose it's special content.
There's currently 3 TVs in the house:
1) 3 year old Samsung 32" Smart TV in the bedroom : happy with quality for now but looking into upgrading to 40" 4K in few months if I can get approval from the missus
2) Brand new JVC HD LT-40C750 40" in kitchen. Cheapish tv bought on a whim. Hooked into XBOX 360 to stream Netflix. Pretty decent except when sitting close. Don't think there's anything else I can do here to improve except maybe try a better streaming machine? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
3) 6 year old Sharp Aquos with 1080p res in the living room. Been faultless over the years but now tempted by UHD and thinner Smart TVs. This is the one I'm thinking of replacing. Currently have HTPC hooked to it running Radeon HD6450 but getting screen tearing when streaming Netflix in the telly. Should be solved by built in Netflix app in new telly? Upgrading HTPC isn't an option as the case is full (also used as server/NAS)
