HD vs 4K and Blu-ray vs 4K Blu-ray We’re strong advocates of balancing cost with quality. If you bought a flat screen TV in the last few years it’s almost certainly HD or above. Likewise, any relatively new optical disc player is almost certainly a Blu-ray device. If you don’t have those things then we have a few suggestions to make but we strongly suggest you do your research before making a purchasing decision. Make sure you know what you’re buying and why, if you get the wrong TV you’re unlikely to replace it soon and you could end up being frustrated for years. The market for new TV’s and the sources that can make the best use of them is constantly changing. Prices for 4K sets and sources are dropping and the variety of options you have available are increasing all the time. What if I don’t need 4K? We don’t think it’s worth investing in any TV less than 4K at this point. However, everyone has different needs, you might just want a small screen for a spare bedroom or kitchen diner. You might have limits of space or budget and that’s fine. Regardless of your reason, you need to know that HD ready means it’s 720p as opposed to Full HD which is 1080p. Please don’t buy anything less than a Full HD TV. The cheapest TV John Lewis...
