The bad thing about buying a tv is if you go looking for one around the shops you will be sent mad by the choice out there.
Plus you will always get a huge row of tv's with a shitty picture from a bad aerial put into it so you can never judge if it's any good or not anyway.
They'll always have the one in the dark corner though, with ambient lighting behind it, and an animated BluRay film on a loop, so it will look stunning, that's the one they want you to buy!
Best thing to do is decide your budget first, then see what's online, then use Google to read all the user reviews. You can't trust all of them, some people just like to whinge, but it will give you a very good idea of the pro's and con's to sway your decision.
As for sizing, go for as big as you can. I'm not a gamer myself, but i know a few and if you offered them a 26" tv they'd stick it in their toilet. :lol
[size=1em]4K tv's do tend to come into their own from about 40" and above where tv stuff is concerned, but as games are animated it will just make for a crisper picture.[/size]
[size=1em]I used to have a 37" 720p plasma telly in my bedroom which has a beautiful look to it, but since i bought the 40" 4K telly it is quite apparent that the image is much sharper on the new one, as i've put the plasma in the living room now, so i still get to see the difference.[/size]
[size=1em]For the record, and this is just my personal opinion, i've always been a fan of Panasonic, i've always found them to have a great picture and be very reliable. Add to that we even use them at work so that speaks volumes as well.[/size]
[size=1em]And i know some people will disagree with me, but i'm really not a fan of LG. You might find yourself being swayed towards them because they are generally the best budget tv's about, but i've never been too impressed by the picture quality at all.[/size]
[size=1em]Bear in mind i'm a Video Assist technician in the film industry so i look at high end monitors every day, so i'm a lot fussier than most, but i just don't like them. [/size]
[size=1em]32" tv's will be the ones where you get the best value i'd imagine, the prices have dropped markedly over the last couple of years to the point of being nearly the same price as a small tv you'd put in your kitchen.[/size]
[size=1em]Another note, you want one with built in HD Freeview channels as well. [/size] :thumbup
