full HD on 50" will not look good.My suggestion get Sony with HDR support they are future proof.
Advantages of HDR Tvs
1)Bright panel
2)Wide color gamut
3)Wide dynamic range
4)Also these TVs natively supports H.265 format which offers awesome picture quality at half the size of H.264 format.

Yes you are right.
I have seen the demo of that TV it does look beautiful. so i will be making my choice with Sony HDR, however i have one more question will this TV support my Yamaha YHT-299, i do know this receiver supports 4k pass-through but not sure is it compatible with HDMI 2.0. Please let me know as I'm unable to find details on google for the same. Thanks
