Thoughts: The 10-year old Toshiba TV gave up finally (the non smart TV cost over rm$3500 then). Today's smart TV for sizes below 60" costs are below rm$3000, and the LG55UN7400 55" UHD Smart TV is at rm$2730. 
The model is not 4K but "UHD" (Ultra High Definition); the simplest way of defining the difference between 4K and UHD is that 4K is a professional production and cinema standard, while UHD is a consumer display and broadcast standard. That said, UHD is the next step up from what’s called full HD, where the official name for the display resolution of 1,920 by 1,080 as full HD. UHD quadruples that resolution to 3,840 by 2,160. However "UHD" is not the same as the 4K resolution but yet almost every TV or monitor we see are advertised as 4K is actually UHD with a slightly lower resolution than a true 4K definition.
DCI Digital Cinema System Specification (for Movie Projectors)
2005 2K resolution means 2,048 by 1,080
2005 4K resolution means 4,096 by 2,160
From SDTV to EDTV to HDTV to UHDTV standards (for Television)
SDTV = Standard Definition TV
EDTV = Enhanced Definition TV
HDTV = High Definition TV
UHDTV = Ultra High Definition TV
          720 by 480 (SDTV) (0.4 megapixels) (short for 480p) (4:3)
          1,024 by 576 (EDTV) (0.6 megapixels) (short for 576p) (16:9)
          1,280 by 720 (HD Ready) (0.9 megapixels) (short for 720p)
1990  2K resolution means 1,920 by 1080 (HDTV) (2.1 megapixels) (short for 1080p)
2012  4K resolution means 3,840 by 2,160 (UHDTV1) (8.5 megapixels) (short for 3840p)
2019  8K resolution means 7,680 by 4,320 (UHDTV2) (33.2 megapixels) (about 8000p)
From the super expensive 65" maybe around rm$15,000 1080p Plasma TV 10 years ago, to the 4K TV of the same size selling roughly at rm$10,000 barely 5 years ago. But when 4K became the Standard 2-3 years ago, prices of 4K TVs dropped tremendously and today, one can find most brands of 65" 4K TV below rm$3,500.
