    There is no excuse for 4K unless you have a gaming pc capable of pushing that many pixels.

    Highly recommend Crutchfield. http://www.crutchfield.com/

    Super knowledgeable staff and they actually back up their warranties. My folks just ordered a 4k 55" Sammy from there, and they spent two hours with them combing over the details of compatibility, ideal setup, color settings, etc. Good prices too with free shipping.

    Streaming services and boxes are starting to deliver, so might as well get it now if you have decent internet. Don't hold your breath for regular cable tho.

    Uh, for gaming I agree, but for TV? 4k blu ray is on the way very soon. Why not future proof? It's not like 4k TVs are exorbitantly expensive or anything.

    Went to Wallyworld and got a 50" Samsung LCD 1080p for a bit over $500. Would've gotten 4K, but I don't think my cable streams content anywhere near that rez.

    New TV has such a thin bezel that I probably could've bumped up to a 60". That old plasma has like a 3" bezel and even larger border on the bottom.

    YouTube is about the best 4K source at this point, and that would get old in a week.

    Walmart had a really cheap Hisense 4K model that had really great picture, but I don't know the brand.

    You should take the 50" back then and upgrade.

    Are 60 hz 4K TV's even available at a reasonable price yet? I know the cheaper models were 30 hz models very recently.

    Their installers told me they were being prepped for the changes too, so it's on the horizon but no telling how long it's gonna take to be the standard vs some 5 channel novelty package..

    Would rather shove shards of glass and tequila down my urethra tbh.

    Based on screen size and how far away I sit from the screen, I wouldn't benefit from 4K (my eyes wouldn't be able to notice the difference).

    I read they just launched a satellite specifically for 4k broadcast... this is where satellite can rape cable, it's much easier for them to expand capacity...

    Parents paid $1200 for 55" 4k with 120hz "motion rate", which is some kind of cross between 60 and 120hz (and no, it's not 90hz ).
