Hey guys just trying to find some better opinions as I've been scouring around and found multiple differing ones and multiple different deals but kind of hoping to consolidate into the best deal I can.
Looking for a 55" 4k HDR, Smart or not, neither matters looking for hopefully below $1k but happy to go a bit above if it's for a significant detail and spec improvement.
Just hit me with your best opinions or deals so I can sort through and see what's best!
Thanks in Advance!
Best 55" 4K TV on a Budget?

Wow, such useful replies so far!
I am also looking for the same thing, not sure what to go for, i understand the super cheap (sub $500) "HDR" tvs essentially fail to deliver anything remotely good in that department, so something with actually good HDR, 55" & 4K is the aim.
Wow, such useful replies so far!
I'm sorry your highness. Please, allow me to bow to your good graces. I live only to serve you.
Did you even read the results for the ozbargain search you linked? Not much useful info in there if you actually read them.
Ooh how many neg votes have you got left for the day lol you're really showing me!
And yes I did, and there's plenty of useful posts showing what can be achieved for that budget, and plenty of posts showing valuable conversation about the TVs in question.
Since I'm not paid to actually help you, I'm under no obligation to specifically research a TV model for you and to find the best price, and for you to neg me down for pointing OP in the right direction is just fkn hilarious, since you yourself have brought nothing to this discussion besides neg votes and a shit attitude.
If you actually even looked, you'd find 2 posts matching OP's requirements. If they delved even further I'm sure they'd find even more.
But no, instead you have to bring your shit attitude into a post which you didn't even create, and with no further input yourself except just a request for more help like we owe you something.
You should be thankful for any help you do get considering your stupid level of entitlement
I bought a Kogan 55 4k hdr smart tv 2 months ago for $549 delivered. No problems at all, picture and sound are fine.I know i'll get my ears bashed by others on here for daring to mention the " K " word but that's their problem, not mine. I'm happy with the tv,that's why I can recommend it.
I was gonna say to Op look at Kogan for TVs. I don't see whats wrong with buying from Kogan at all. shrugs I certainly like my keyboard, lol

I’d say best value for money are the Hisense offerings, which can be <$700 at the right timing. I’ve got an LG, personally, and like the OS but many people aren’t a fan of IPS panels.
On the topic of paying a little more than $1K, the Hisense OLED has been around 1100 previously, and would be a decent upgrade on any LED LCD.
Way happy with our Samsung UA55RU7100WXXY bought from JBHiFi via Ozb for $745 in January. (I have a trailer - so no delivery cost.)
So if you can afford to wait a while for a good price to appear and act quickly when it does… I'm now interested in buying another of the same for a different room. As previous poster says "at the right timing". Not sure that tax return time of year is the best timing given media noise!
Of course not sure if that will meet your subjective definition of "on a budget" but it did for me given it was a great price for a name brand with a reasonable name for warranty and reliability, and has a good image and feature set (apps & built-in wifi) - meaning nothing more to spend on it.
I wanted to go with a name brand in the hope of it lasting me more than five years! - perhaps "vain hope"?
Features it lacks are multi-receiver PinP and PVR - but presumably multi-receiver ups price from base models, and I'm not sure how many on-board PVR's are FreeView non-compliant meaning they can be used for adfree viewing.
