I'm looking to get a new TV under $500, and preferably no more than $400. I read that the LG 43UJ6300 is a fake 4K because of the white subpixels, so it's not as sharp as a real 4K screen. Here's the thing, though. My current living room TV is a 32" 720p (1080i) TV that's 7+ years old. We just bought a PS4, but not the Pro version that can do 4K. We don't have a 4K Blu-ray player or DVDs (yet). I feel that because we're not going to be doing a lot of 4K stuff in the near future, that won't matter much to me. I could just go with a 1080p TV then, but the price difference is mostly neglible to me. (I see a LG 1080p, the LJ5500, for $280, vs. the LG "4K" for $340.)
Then again, one review site (rtings) said the lowest score for LG was in movies, and we watch a lot of movies and Netflix/Amazon Prime. But maybe that score is for the 4K feeds?
I see a Samsung 40" MU6300 for $390, and it scores better across the board, so I could do that. There's also a 1080p 43" Samsung (UN43M5300AFXZA) for $300, and although it's the best 1080p on rtings, it scores worse than the LG 6300 and is also bad for movies.
I was trying to future-proof myself by going 4K, but because I'm not likely to overhaul all my other stuff, do I just go for the best 40-43" 1080p I can find and save a few bucks? Recommendations for 1080p TVs if that's the case?
