Of course, whether you can appreciate the benefits of 4K at this size is another matter. :roll:

Looks like this is the cheapest 4K TV available to buy in the UK.

I think that's a great price as well really. My 42" cost £850 a few years back. 40" 4k tv for £1000

agree not sure you would see a benefit at that screen size though

even though my budget is £700 and i wanted a 3dtv this tv looks a promising buy! it is a bit small though..maybe i should wait until my next tv buy before getting a 4k screen?

what screen size do you need to fully appreciate 4k? as i can basically never spend £2k on a 4k tv for the next many years!

People initially said 65 inches is the minimum you need to appreciate the difference, although in a recent survey by HDTVest, 90% of people correctly identified which is the 4K TV at 55 inches.

Sorry, it's 98%:

Given that most people seem to moan about the fact that they can't see any difference between Bluray and DVD, I doubt very much they'll reap any benefit at all from a 40" UHD TV. Just seems like Samsung going for market share while the UHD buzz is going round.

This could be the beginning of UHD becoming a 'throwaway' format.
