Hey guys just wondering what to go for...

Its going to be hooked up to my pc (which currently doesnt support 4k but upgrading it soon that it does)

So what would you guys go for?
 
Putting myself in your shoes:

1. Distance sat (sitting) from screen?
2. Future-proofing.
3. Will an extra 15"(es) matter (assuming the 55" is a FHD)? Pun unintended.

Personally I hit up 4K, smaller in size but greater in pixel density - assuming the PC I want to use it with can actually utilise 4K comfortably.

1. Normal seating at a pc during game playing, queen sized bed distance at night for watching movies
2. Main idea
3. Not really, i can put an additional 800 bucks for a 49" UHD ( http://www.dionwired.co.za/tv-blu-ray-satellite/lg-49-uhd-led-tv.html )

Pc not 4k ready yet, but will be in september
 
I would go for the bigger TV and wait on the 4K... There is so little content available for it... And the distance u mentioned (queensize bed away) I really dont think it will make a huge difference... A 40" TV i would consider small these days... I recently got a 48" Samsung and I can honestly say I would like bigger...

Whats the price difference in the 40" 4K and 55" FHD?

And if he does not go for it, months or years down the line, he'll have to invest in one anyway - but, yes, pricing does also play a big factor.
 
I have no expierience with 4K screens/monitors/graphics card, so this is based on stuff found on Google.

Just make sure of the refresh rates. I checked the 49" one and from searching it looks like the TV is up to 100Hz (10ms). Most 4K monitors I've looked at show a 5~1ms response time. Then I also read that some 4K TV's only support 30Hz (33.3ms) at 4K resolution over HDMI.

YMMV

Do your homework before splashing out close to R10k.

I couldnt agree with you more, but i think the price will be a little more steep than R10k "whistling:

Not really concerned about "content" at the moment.

The main reason of 4k UHD is for Final fantasy xiv
 
Honestly, just go for the 4K currently, things will start catching up eventually. The old BluRay argument was "Don't get an FHD TV until DVD is depricated" and "Not enough FHD content is available" etc etc...funny, but DVDs are still very much around, as is BluRay and many people connect their DVD players to their 1080p 400Hz TVs to watch DVD quality videos without their heads exploding. Its nice to know that you can play 4K content in native 4K if and when you have it.
