4k tvs

[UZER]

Too soon to get one?

[Reck]

Too soon? They've been around for a while now.

They're real cheap too.

I'm all about the OLEDs now. I sooo want one but they're extremely expensive right now.

Probably unless you're a gamer, considering how little 4k content there is other than PC / game consoles. If you're not looking to game at 4k you might as well wait for OLED to replace LED any maybe by then there will be more 4k content. If you are into gaming XBox Scorpio should be a reasonable buy at ~$500 for 4k (upscaled) gaming (though PS4 Pro has much better exclusives). Or if you're willing to spend say $1300 on a PC you could go with an i5 + GTX 1080 Ti based mini ITX gaming PC for 4k gaming at 60 fps. Then go for a 4k TV.

If you have netflix then it might be worth it. They're pumping out 4k content for their original series now.

Maybe my question was a little off. Is there enough 4k content out there to warrant a purchase?

With tech changing so fast these days, does 4k have a longer lifeline? It just feels like it's kind of the stopgap right now.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol 4k content only available on blue ray dvd

those networks aint streaming 4k shit, more like hd or sd quality crap

down here they sell you all this shit, but the networks only stream SD quality...the only time they stream HD content is something popular...and its not even true HD...

now if ur looking at a 4k monitor...look at the phillips 40-43inch models...they are cheap

[Xevious]

I'm not replacing anything now as there is little point. But if my tv were to crap out, I'd go ahead and buy one since the price is reasonable.

[ElNono]

Have one at the office for work, and I want to buy one to have at home when I need to do some work from home... but yeah, not a lot of content, tbh

[UZER]

Saw a DirecTV 4k live Masters channel feed at the store on display. Was not impressed. Sure it was a little clearer but not 4k clearer.

Probably as there is hardly any true 4k content available for it, jackass

[DJR210]

4K TV's with OLED are where it's at if you are in the market for a premium new TV.. If not there's plenty of decent budget ones for like 500 bucks at the big chain stores

[Wild Cobra]

Well, I needed another TV, so I picked up a 55" 4k. If there was a larger price difference between it and the 1080P, I would have stuck with the 1080P. I may pick up a 4K Bluray, but the disks are still rather spendy.

[Wild Cobra]

Love how this new Samsung 4k upscales blueray! My GeForce GTX 950 with Power DVD upscales Bluray to 1440P nice on my computer, but the upscale to 4K is even nicer!

[Joseph Kony]

bet that makes it easier to zoom in and see home addresses more clearly so you can triangulate their location based on the angle of the shadow tbh

[DJR210]

Nothing says to a woman "I care about you" quite like triangulating her location to prove how easy it can be to get raped and murdered

[Cry Havoc]

I just picked up a Sony 4k 55" HDR TV.

The difference between 4k and 1080p is astounding.

Netflix has a ton of 4k content out atm. You have to pay a little more for the UHD but it's so worth it.

[hater]

4k is a gimmick

I have one yes but I dont call it a 4k tv. I just call it a tv.

Te content is all over the place and I believe nonody really has true 4k content except for youtube

Amazon has this shit they call ultra hd, netflix calls it 4k but doubt its true 4k the quality is better but not that mich better, etc

That being said I do go to youtube and search for 4k stuff and find some amazing shit like the Hubble Space Telescope pictures in almost raw format :wow

I still recommend getting one only if you need a tv. Do not replace your good tv to just get a 4k gimmick

[hater]

Oh btw I have a samsung 9k series so its a pretty decent "4k" tv tbqh

You must have shitty sight if you don't see the difference in the up-scaling capability.

Its good but its not "wow I need to go and replace my perfectly working HD tv with a 4k immediately!" good imo

No, the 1080P is good. There was no "need" to replace a good TV. I took in a roommate, beautiful woman I've known for almost 20 years. Another bedroom being used, another TV needed. Just went the extra expense.

Why did you have to mention it was a beautiful woman you took in as a roommate? Is it your daughter moved back home?

[DMC]

btw I have a 50" 4K I'm using as a monitor. It works well for gaming and work (work put 2nd intentionally).

How does that make it a gimmick?

[Reck]

:lmao Hater saying youtbe has 4k content but the others he mentioned do not. :lmao

[hater]

Its a gimmick cause they market it as a massive improvement like HD was over SD. But in
Reality is a minor improvement

[hater]

Youtube has the best free 4k content out there and more massive

Netflix quality is lacking and amazon is charging crazy amounts for their ultra hd like $24 a movie :lol

Youtube doesn't have shit in 4k. LOL

Even their "HD" stuff is a wayyyy scaled down version of what it's supposed to be. Videos on yt always lose quality in the uploading process.

[DJR210]

YouTube has a bunch of 4K demo videos.. Ever since they started giving the option for 60hz their videos are not automatically resized for space.

[DJR210]

If you own a 4K TV, PC games and 4K Blu-Ray is where it's at..

Some of the latest Kodi pre-installed builds like Wookie for example come with a 4K section with links to a bunch of 4K movies. Huge files though, so you need a fast connection.

Ha ha. You think you're funny...

No, but she's 14 years younger than I, in her 40's.

I have another bedroom if one of my daughters need to move in, or if her daughter does.

So platonic roomie sees your online post "beautiful woman I've known for almost 20 years" and promptly moves out. You've known her for 20 years, is she a roomie or your gf? If she's a roomie, why are you friend zoned and online calling her beautiful? Are you going to whittle your twig while she's showering?
