[Unemploid]

here are two 4k TVs. out of the two, which is better?

sony 4k 65in. $2800: Invalid Link Removed

lg 4k 60in $2500: http://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-60UB8200-led-tv

None of the above. Wait until the darn things don't cost as much as a botique bass - it won't take long.

OMG,.. a TV with added detail AND emotion!!! did he say a picture with emotion,.. or do they mean the actual TV is emotional?!!

EDIT: if the set has to "up-scale" to 3840 x 2160 i think i'll wait until the source material is already 4k. :/

I agree with this. It's not worth paying the premium for a 4k TV when the source is not widely available.

I actually think that until 4k streaming is widespread, 4k TV is going to be stagnant. I just don't see people moving to yet another form of physical media for movies, just so they can get a marginally improved picture. When it gets to the point where you can stream 4k of whatever you feel like watching at the moment, then 4k will take off. Until that happens, the premium for 4k makes no sense, IMHO.

Why spending so much for a TV?

Wait. 4K will be cheap later this year, and I'm sure they'll find some way to squeeze some more pixels in there before you pay yours off. Not a bad time of year to buy though. They announced most of this years models at CES and Super Bowl Weekend is generally one of the best times to buy last years model cheap.

I'm also going to wait for the 4K TVs to reduce in price. The first few years of models are always "prototypes." Having said (typed) that, a friend of our family bought a Sony 4K TV during Christmas and the clarity is incredible.

I think I'd rather get one of those cool curved screen tv's. I've heard they're pretty sweet.

Another reason to wait is that in order for a TV to upscale from 1080p to 4k, it has to interpolate the pixels. This requires a lot of processing power, especially with the number of pixels and the refresh rate of 120Hz. If you get a lower end 4k TV, the upscaled image could very well be worse than on a regular 1080p TV.

When you go to a retail store to look at TVs, they only send 4k signals to 4k TVs, to avoid this being apparent. They also show slow moving images, because lower end TVs can suffer from appearing blurred with fast moving images.

This is, IMHO, another good reason to wait for the technology to catch up.

i understand all you guys mentioned. yes 4k will be cheaper soon, and their isn't 4k content available right now.

curved TVs are getting cheaper. i don't need one, because of my living situation.

bragging rights.

We don't even get many High Definition broadcasts to take advantage of our HD Tvs, let alone anything higher!

Seriously,what are you gonna watch in 4k on it?

I recently got s new HD big screen, came with 3D. I will never ever use it,hate those glasses,stupid.But try buying one without it lol
Now it's curved screens and 4k. Which is great,coz people like me can get plain flat screens in boring HD for next to nothing!

To answer the OP, both TVs probably have the same screen, made by Samsung.

 

[Inertialsky]

The new curved displays are amazing.

Almost half the tv's at my local Best Buy are curved. They look freakin' incredible...

And 4k content is more immersive than 3d ever was.

8k Tv's are coming soon.

...so even fewer people will bother to leave the house and see live music. Rawk on. Nation of couch potatoes.

Who currently transmits (or feeds) in 4K?

Who currently transmits (or feeds) in 4K?

proably our military. but if 4k is out for public consumption they most likely have an enhanced version.

 

[Inertialsky]

Youtube streams 4k. Many others will follow.

 

[Pilgrim]

1) Wait until you can get one at a sane price.

2) Given a choice I normally go for Sony because I like their color balance better than most other models.

3) Right now the best displays are probably made by Samsung...not a choice by the OP.

 

[pacojas]

i have been a Panasonic guy since the '70's, lol. i'll proably get one from them in years from now.
