Reynolds1029 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 4k is over rated for a TV. Limited content and the human eye cant tell the difference between 1080p and 4k past 3ft. If I were you I would save money and get something else for the money you save on getting a 1080p. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Xfinity, they haven't even announced when they will offer 4K yet. No matter what platform you are on there doesn't seem to be a ton of programming for it yet.

It's coming though. 4K blu ray players are selling at a much faster rate than when original blu players came out. Within 2 years you should see a number of channels but right now you can get incredible content with the right tv and 4K blu ray player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true that they are and its why you can get such a great deal on the 1080p TVs. At my job we have TVs and secretly we say that the video feed thats playing is being played at 4K but really its 1080p because they are too cheap to get new HDMI Amplifiers and true 4K Blu Ray players. Everybody gets amazed at the clarity blah blah blah even though its exactly the same as the 1080p one in the next isle over. To put it to the true test we have vendors that come in from Samsung. One of their 4K 65" TVs that they hooked up to their own true 4K video feed was on clearance and we were trying to sell the floor model. So I took the oppurtunity to do a side by side test with the 1080p tv and the Samsung 4K with the true feed and a 4K TV hooked up to the feed we used for our non vendor hooked up 4K TVs running on that 1080p feed as well. The results? Up close the true 4K TV was defenately better the image quality was excellent. As I backed up about 6-10 feet it started to look identical to eachother. To me it really wasen't work the extra few hundred bucks at the time. If you can get the same exact quality TV you are looking for in 4K for the same price as the 1080p of course get it by all means. But paying extra for 4K to me seems just not smart at the moment. Better to buy a 1080p TV at a great price vs spending the extra dough for something nearly identical.

Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Valid points but a lot of times people buy low end 4K tv's expecting miracles. Even more important than 4K is buying a TV capable of HDR. Those usually cost a bit more but give the type of picture enhancement people expect when getting a 4k tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costco Every year I do a give away at my office, at least a 65 inch or better. Every year Costco has the best prices on good TVs. You can buy a cheaper 65 inch somewhere, but it'll be crap. 4K, smart TV, it's awesome, get it at Costco. If it goes on sale a week later, just go to customer service, they will refund you the difference. You won't even need the receipt, they have it on record.

Pac Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 If I were you I'd buy the Vizio P65 which can handle both HDR10 and Dolby Vision and use the extra $500 to buy a 4k blu ray player. Again.. make sure you buy one that handles Dolby Vision.. currently only OPPO and the upcoming LG can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem... for the record I'm a TV and Home Theater snob.. I'm showing you top of the line stuff.. any one of the TVs I've linked look fantastic so you can't really make a mistake between them. Reason I'm saying OLED and Vizio here is because they both support DV. It's similar to when Blu Ray and HD Video came out and battled.. if you owned an HD Video player you were out of luck when Blu Ray won. That's why it's smart to get something that can handle both.

Matt39 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Would go either Samsung or Sony. Was at my parents over Christmas and they just got a 55" Sony 4k and it was phenomenal.
