sony 4k ultra hd media player

My significant other and I are on the lookout for a new TV. We want at least a 40-inch Smart LED TV that can play hi-res movies. (Blu-ray!) While I know there are so many models available in the market, we can't decide on which one. I think we'll wait for the prices to go down some more or wait for Black Friday.
