4K? I probably wouldn't see any difference with that either.
It does do 3D, though, and the effects are very good indeed. The BBC did once do a couple of 3D programmes, but they seem to have gone off the idea now! We have some excellent 3D DVDs/BDs, though.

The Queen once allowed the BBC to film her (at home I think) in 3D, and I still have a recording I made of it.

Re: I bought a TV
It sounds as if it's a nice TV Ffosse. I like Sony and Panasonic as makes. Good that you can plug the audio output into the hi-fi unit because as you say, the sound can be a bit bad from TVs. I think it's because the speakers are fairly flat and small. Also that they aren't usually forward-facing.Our main TV plugs into a surround-sound amplifier, which makes the sound pretty good. I bought a soundbar for another TV that we have. It doesn't have a separate bass speaker but the bass is pretty good for such a small unit even so.

Re: I bought a TV
Well that wasn't so good: it came without the screws to affix it to the base.Argos offered me another one but I don't want to have the same problem tomorrow - I suspect they have got a bad batch and I had read a couple of amazon reviews mentioning the no screws issue - there's just no way it would stay upright. They offered me a refund but I can't be arsed packing it up again - maybe I'll use it leaning against a wall or something. Best thing is to phone Sony in London on Tuesday morning and ask that they send me the screws directly - they should do that.
This has ruined my Sunday and I felt myself getting quite ill with the cancer - stress isn't good for it - my muscles are aching.

To be fair, I have found Argos to be very supportive of their customers when we had a problem with the fridge-freezer we bought from them.

Re: I bought a TV
Argos turned up at 7:15 this morning - phoned me first - with a new TV. Funnily, it had the screws attached to the outside of the bracket bag so I just took those and not the whole TV.Very good service - I've been unable to get the TV to work with my wi-fi service, just my iPhone; at least I found out that there were no updates for it. I may buy a Netflix stick or something to go online with it. Good picture and just the right size for my smallish living room. Much happier than yesterday which was a day of frustration.
