The best affordable 4K TV 2017

The best 4K TVs available for under £600

UHD and HDR























When it"s time When it's time to buy a new television, people typically face one of two scenarios: They're either standing in a big box store, mouths agape as a wall of screens bathes them in a confusing wash of light; or they've been online and on the prowl for months, scouring specs, tracking prices, and trying to figure out which TV looks good — all without ever having actually laid eyes on them in person.

With With the wide array of specs and features to consider when buying a TV, neither of these methods is ideal. To find the best fit for your big screen needs, you need to spend time literally looking at the TV from all angles. Does it work well in a bright room? Does it handle dark imagery well? Can it keep up with fast-paced sports? Do the colors bring video games to life?

We sorted  through all the big screens on the market and spent dozens of hours both watching and using these TVs to ensure they are the best you can get. We separated them by price point, meaning there's a match for every budget. But there's consistency here, too: Each has high-def 4K capability (which it's finally worth investing in) and none are smaller than 50-55 inches.
This story is updated on an ongoing basis to reflect the latest and best models available in their respective price points.
Think 4K TVs are super-expensive? Think again.

Right now, just £650 will get you a TV that not only has the millions of extra pixels necessary to take advantage of the best that Netflix, Sky Q and the PS4 Pro have to offer, but also chucks tasty, tasty HDR into the mix.

But be warned - one of the main reasons these TVs are so darn affordable is because they’re 2016 sets that are due to be replaced soon. Act fast and you can pick up an absolute bargain, but don’t blame us if you take too long and the TVs are gone!

LG V30 review

LG V30 A Great Big Phone LG’s smartphone division is in an interesting position right now. They are continuing to produce decent handsets with innovative additions each year, yet the company can’t get much traction in the market in the face of strong competition from other brands. The G6 was LG’s best phone design in years, launching as one of the first with a small-bezel display, but sales have not rocketed as expected. The V30 is in a similar position. Occupying the flagship large-screen phone position in LG’s line-up, the V30 is packed with interesting features, top-end hardware and enough good stuff to match this year’s competitors. But it’s once again up against some massive new devices, particularly the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and Google Pixel 2 XL, leaving LG with an uphill battle to ensure the V30 remains in the conversation. But now there's the LG V30. As the name suggests, it's a direct successor to last year's V20 — the product of a very different LG, w...

iMac Pro First Impression

iMac Pro   First Impression   Apple’s goal with professional hardware has always been to inspire creatives and developers to produce new things. That’s not an altruistic objective; the more creative things get made on Macs, the more other creatives and developers are drawn to the platform, and the more Macs are sold. To that end, the iMac Pro is available to order today, so we spoke with Apple and several third-party developers who were introduced to us by Apple. We learned more about the iMac Pro and how people expect to use it to improve performance or add new features to their applications. It’s still not upgradeable in any significant way, apart from external GPUs. And of course, it starts at $5,000. Still, Apple has made a compelling case for the device by allowing the use cases to speak for themselves. We’ll go over the specifics about the machine and then explore some of the use cases we saw. Externally, the new iMac Pro is indistinguishable from the exis...

Moto G5S Review

Moto G5S Motorola's Best Budget SmartPhones You'd be forgiven for not paying close attention to the release of the Moto G5S Plus; it snuck into the company's lineup in early August alongside the Moto G5S. The 'S' stands for "Special Edition" (Moto G5SE Plus was too much of a mouthful?), and they're moderately improved versions of the existing Moto G5 line that debuted earlier in the year. Why would Motorola introduce slightly updated versions of existing phones less than six months after their release? Who knows?! What I do know is that the Moto G5S Plus, which is available unlocked in the U.S. for $279, is one of the better budget phones you can buy, but the slightly better build quality, additional camera, and larger display don't justify the additional cost over the existing Moto G5 Plus. Moto G5S Design The G5S marks a big step up from its predecessor. Where the G5 merely had an aluminium rear panel, the G5S’s unibody desi...
