I want one that isn't going to have some processing on the image that can't be turned off or that needs turning off every time you turn it on. Below is a link to the one I was looking at, if anyone has any other recommendations please let me know 
Thanks all.

Given your limited budget I think you've made a fair choice yourself, potentially the best in that price range since it has £200 off the asking price. It won't be perfect, but you can't expect that for £500.
You should be able to turn all the crap off, but don't turn everything off. You need stuff like Real Cinema on and local dimming is a necessity with edge lit LED, just have a play around and see which setting you prefer. Low can sometimes be too little and high too much, but there's a lot of variation between panels even in the same range with edge-lit depending how much light bleed that individual screen gets.
Remember you'll have to do your tweaking at least twice with HDR TVs, once for SDR as you'd expect from any TV, but again for each HDR format the TV supports.
