So after getting a PS4 Pro (don't worry i have a PC) 

 

I'm wanting a TV that can utilize the console to it's fullest, i've been browsing around and can see some 4K TV's for pretty cheap actually, however 4K HDR TV's seem to be quite a bit more pricey actually, is it really worth the price increase? and do i really need it?

 

The main reason for not getting a HDR TV would be the following 

- quite a bit more expensive

- not much content supports HDR

4K HDR TVs in 2017 actually aren't as expensive as you think

Get something that supports HDR10 but not Dolby Vision because

1. OEMs have to pay fee for using DV, so more expensive (DV TVs are really expensive, to be honest)

2. PS4 Pro and the majority of games supports HDR10 only, so DV is useless for gaming

 

Look for Sony TVs, many lower-end models support HDR10
