Thank you again Dodge. I genuinely appreciate your help. If I'm honest, I didn't know too much about VA and IPS, so I had a look and VA is my choice. Sorry again, but I couldn't see what TV's are IPS or what are VA from the two mentioned above..Just to give a bit perspective, the 55" RU8000 isn't even far off price the 49SM8600 at very, it never makes sense to go for a smaller TV. Never. Not just are TVs smaller but they are also worse spec. If going small, go cheap.
50RU7400 is the best buy for you, no need to go for anything else. LG SM8500/SM8600 at 49" is still using an IPS panel.
Why consider IPS panelled TVs and VA? Choose which panel type you want first before looking at different options. Yes the LG may have a better refresh rate but this means very little if you want a TV that has good blacks, contrast and screen uniformity and you don't need wide viewing angles.
