I have 70" 4k with 3d function. I mainly stream 4k from Kodi but no use 3d function.

I don't understand how 4K with 3D works. Do you need the glasses to see 3D?

I'm thinking of buying 4k TV today but got zero experience since this will be my first purchase

Is it worth to buy in the first place? Thinking of buying 48 inch from Sony that I saw the other day at the shop. 48 inch enough of I should get anything bigger?

Or is Samsung better?

I don't want anything fancy like smart TV all that nonsense since it'll be plugged into my computer and PS4.

Any recommendations what to look out for? Budget less than 3k

Do u have 4k contents to view on the 4k tv you are planning to but? To tell you the truth all cheap 4k tv is crap. Better spend 3000 on a fullhd tv rather than 3000 on a 4k tv.

depends on the size of the room u put the tv in. if u sit very close to tv, smaller size sufficient. if far away, 50 inch min.

Also 4k tv is better because the processor is faster so no problem handling 1080p res or high bitrate media

In my opinion, no point. Not much 4k input available, the price is still quite steep. Wait for few more years when 4k becomes more common. Get a good smart TV instead.

1. Make sure your TV is at least 55"
2. Make sure you have like at least 40-50mbps internet connection consistently

4K is much better than FHD

now 4k & FHD price not big difference. don't know if the FHD quality & built is better than 4k or just the cost of making 4k dropped.

if price big difference, FHD good enough, but if few hundred, get 4k.

Smart TV is just an Android built-in TV. You're better off getting a cheap media box to go with your 1080p HDTV.

People should realize 4K is nothing without HDR.

Buy 4k. Good ones have better scaling up software, so those fhd videos look much better than on fhd TV's. Not as clear as 4k proper, but much better

Nowadays very hard to find 4k tv without hdr. Even entry level lg 4k tv got it. And they do sick scaling up as well. Very nice. All for below 2k at 48 inch.

I am one of the early 4K UHD Smart TV users since 2015 when the 4K UHD Smart TV hype started. My first 4K UHD TV was from Sony; model Bravia 49x-8300C, an entry-level 4K UHD Smart Android TV from the company price at RM6990 (need to check back, my mind is rusty). At that time, Sony's 4K UHD upscaling was the best but Samsung was catching up to close the gap. I enjoyed everything from SD, 480p, 720p and 1080p content with the TV and it never failed me. Its screen was based on the IPS panel, so everyone can view the screen at any angle.
Netflix started to enter Malaysia market at that time so I immediately paid its monthly RM51 four-screen UHD package and I was blown by the 4K content offered. My Unifi connection was 50 Mbps; it was able to keep the 4K UHD streaming alive with no stutter. Since it was an Android TV, I also installed iflix, Viki, Amazon Prime Video and Crunchyroll apps. Chromecast support was superb (the TV has built-in Google Cast receiver) and screen-mirroring (with Miracast) was quite easy. Anyway, I could sideload non-Android TV (standard Android) apps.

The TV still works fine with no issue even today and it is still supported by Sony (for firmware upgrade, the latest Oct 2017) even though I could not enjoy the HDR evolution due to a few limitations in the hardware and Sony's business decisions. http://www.sony.com.my/electronics/support...id-/kd-49x8300c.

Just to tell you: once you are into 4K UHD, you will never look back. If I want to buy another 4K UHD Smart TV, I will buy 4K UHD HDR OLED panel with Android TV for easy integration with Android devices and because I am also an Android app developer. Be aware that Sony "Smart TV" can be non-Android TV and it can be Android TV (as long as it mentions "Android TV")
