This is the most important part of your new 4K TV if you're buying on a budget like me – and it's not the pixels

For the vast majority of people, shopping for one of the best TVs means shopping for a 4K TV. But I suspect that for the vast majority of that vast majority, the TV they buy won't be fed many 4K shows or movies. And that's important, because I think you should factor that into your buying decisions.

The reason most of your entertainment won't be 4K is because unless you're paying for the most expensive streaming packages, you're likely getting 1080p Full HD (or lower, in some cases: I'm in the UK where streamers such as Now TV delivers 720p as standard).
