What would be the recommended screen size to get benefit from 4K/HDR ? I currently have a 46" Panny plasma and viewing distance would be 3-4 metres, I could probably go up to 55" without it totally dominating the room, thinking that might not be big enough ? Not considering changing yet until there is more content available and the technology matures a bit more. My internet is not good enough for streaming 4k so would be relying on Ultra Blu ray and broadcasts when (if ) they become available. Probably 12-18 month timescale.

I would say for 3 to 4ms viewing distance a 65inch would do nicely. Anything bigger will start to really look stupid.
The great thing about really really big TVs is getting the "centre court neck" feeling sitting too close and watching Wimbledon 🙂
Seriously, you won't notice the benefits of 4K on a medium screen, 40 inches or smaller, say, and yes, bigger is always better.

My nxet tv set is a Sony for sure. Am very sensitive to bad motion, & sony does motion best. If not for John lewis messing up my order I would have got my tv delivered today.

Hello basshound. Since February, my 75-inch, (but only Full HD, not 4K) Sony television replaced the Panasonic 65VT65 in the parlour. In the parlour, I have three rows of seats, the first row in nine feet from the television, and the middle row is 12 feet from the screen, with the back row 15 feet away. I certainly would not want to be any further away, especially the back row, even from a 75-inch television. Is the front row of seats too close to the television? Possibly very marginally, but I'm not going to change things!
Next year I hope to buy the 4K Sony KD-75XD9405 television, which will go in the parlour. Being a 4K television, any possible worry that the front row of seats is too close to the television will be anulled!

It may while be the case, motion is quite a personal thing. It may just be a case of the models used in that test? Still I think generally speaking Sony has got a good track record for motion handling.bigboss said:
Native_bon, you are doubly correct. First, Sony does have a good reputation for motion processing on its televisions. Second, some people are more sensitive to particular television flaws than others. Flaws like motion blur, flicker, haloing, .. I guess I'm lucky in that middle age may have dulled my eyesight, so to me, nearly all modern televisions look fine!
