    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.

    lol 4k content only available on blue ray dvd

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

    down here they sell you all this , 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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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

    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

    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.

    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 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 like the Hubble Space Telescope pictures in almost raw format

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

    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?

    How does that make it a gimmick?
