I may be slightly jaded by having customers insist on 4K60 at 4:4:4, 12-bit colour and HDR in an auditorium where people talk over Powerpoint slides.
Most of the time I prefer the picture quality on the Sony.
There's not enough 4K content yet which means that most "everyday" content is interpolated from 1080p or less. This makes for a substandard experience in my view.
In other words, hold off paying loads of cash now for latest 4K
I am happy with normal tv and with moving from a too big 50" to a 40" I suspect I am going to be happier.. but with Virgin 4k box around the corner and all that is it better to move up from full HD
A lot of the additional stuff that goes along with 4k standards (HDR, BT.2020 and deep colour, fer instance) look like they'll need OLED or another new display technology. There's also a definite whiff of "desperate to sell more tellies" about them.
The other tricky bit is that the bandwidth keeps rising. 1080p60, 8-bit without chroma subsampling is under 5Gbps. 4kUHD60, 10-bit, 4:2:0 is over 11Gbps, and if you want it without subsampling it's nearly 23Gbps.
That's a lot more work for the scalers and requires better cables and input and output chips.
As for the telly, get the one with the picture you like and don't worry too much about the Top Trumps stuff.
A pity broadcasters and movie companies are not pushing 48fps. You get a sharper picture without the need for high resolution
But saying that I just bought a 43" 4k LED TV, purely because I didn't want to be 'left behind'.
The difference being that finger will get better with practice, but eyes won't.
