boone 4k is just a cute term for resolution. 4160x2160 I believe. It's basically double 1080p and is also referred to 2160p. On a screen that size running a resolution would shut down any graphics card. Essentially you would pay more for graphics card than the TV itself.
Yes. Spend less than $1000. He'll you can probably find one for less than $750. If it lasts 10 years, awesome. If it lasts 7, well by 2023 you won't care about the <$1k you spent in 2016.
do you need it this week? how price sensitive are you? are you open to brands like TCL, Westinghouse, Insignia etc? or more along the lines of Samsung, Vizio, LG, Toshiba etc
Would like something this week or next, his remote will only work for 1 press of the remote then it stops working until you unplug and reset the tv. That is fucking annoying. Was a big fan of vizio until this.
heres the first two TVs listed on slickdeals based on your criteria. http://slickdeals.net/f/8474399-32-...e-shipping-via-shopritedelivers?src=catpagev2 http://slickdeals.net/f/8473273-sam...plus-100-dell-promo-card-197-99?src=catpagev2
guys my mom wants a new tv, can be up to 75 inches. no price limit. what should I be looking at to help her
with no price limit? will the people watching care about being of the utmost quality? If so, get a sony 4k if not, prob an LG or vizio 4k.
0 in the US. Some pilots have been done in other countries around specific events (like 2014 World Cup, etc). We are probably at minimum 12-18 months from 4k OTA, imo
My friend works for a high end retailer and he said they stopped selling non-4K tv's. He said they are falling by the wayside and just like everything went hd before everything is headed to 4K. I think he said one of dish or direct tv is going to start carrying 4K and once that happens everyone will follow suit. One last thing he said most of the companies are bringing their new tv's to market in March and after viewing them at some Vegas electronics convention he said the upgrade in quality is impressive. Remains to be seen what kind of prices we will be looking at but if you are in the market for a new tv definitely get a 4K and at least wait until March to see what is available.
I went to that tradeshow in 2015, but didn't go this year. much of what you see is the highest end consumer devices, but a lot of the really publicized stuff is not made or even mass produced for immediate consumer use (like the tv that goes from flat to curved - http://www.engadget.com/2014/07/30/samsung-first-uhd-bendable-tv/) or the flexible paper displays (like fruit roll up). From what I understand, the materials to build a 4k tv compared to build a 1080 set are only marginally more expensive. you have to have a lot of R+D and QC though on such a new technology. Re bigred77 's question: NAB 2016 is coming up soon, so we should get some updates on standards and tech development.
It depends what you're wanting. That's just about the market price for that TV. Maybe a little cheaper. Amazon has it for $700. From what I can tell, that TV is that much less expensive than other 60inch Samsung models for a few reasons. -resolution is 1080p and not 4K which is becoming the standard -2015 model -processor isn't as strong as higher end models so the SmartTV features may run a little slower -only two HDMI ports If none of those are major factors for you then I say go for it.
Honestly I don't even care about a smart TV. I already have a Roku4 for apps and planned on getting one of those jailbroken Firesticks. I'd like 4k but it's not a must. Moreso just want something that has good picture and is reliable.
Well most of the reviews for that TV on Amazon are really positive. Hard to tell if reviews are legit these days or not but if those are legit then then the people who have this TV all seem to really love it. That said, I'd consider the HDMI port number if you're planning to have Roku/FireStick and other stuff plugged in though. One will be dedicated to cable presumably and the other for the Roku/FireStick so you'll have no way to plug in a third device without removing one of the others. That said, it's as difficult as pulling one HDMI cable out and plugging another in.
This a good deal? http://www.walmart.com/ip/50688460?...02665972973013306739&affillinktype=10&veh=aff Not sure if Panasonic is quality these days, I remember their plasmas were good back in the day. 4k is unnecessary probs since I'm still streaming everything, but nice to have. Any glaring caveats?
-60hz refresh rate. 120hz and 240hz are the standards nowadays but this TV's lower rate would probably only be truly noticeable when watching sports. -Panasonic Smart TVs aren't nearly as 'smart' or capable as say Samsung, LG, Sony. -Amazon reviews are generally pretty bad and some mention that the screen is very reflective so if glare would be an issue then probably look elsewhere. Overall Amazon rating is 2.5/5 which is pretty awful for an electronic device you might purchase IMO. That said, this TV actually is 4K which you said you didn't need since you only really stream. However, streaming is actually the ideal way to view 4K since only DirecTV even broadcasts in that resolution at this point and their selection is pretty small. NetFlix, however, releases their original content in 4K and has a pretty respectable collection of streamable content.
I've been bored today and happy to help research because I enjoy it but generally when looking into a potential purchase I start with Amazon's description and reviews to get a better understanding of what to expect from said product. There are always plenty of people who have purchased and reviewed pretty much any SmartTV out there these days. Amazon also does a good job putting the product in question in a comparison table with similar products and makes it easy to see what it offers and what it lacks.
Much appreciated. Most of my streaming is via Kodi, and I've only ever seen 1080p quality or lower on there so that's why I mentioned it. It's basically a monitor for my HTPC, so smart TV functionality probably won't affect me too much. I'll probably opt for something with a higher refresh rate though. Thanks again
Anyone an expert in projectors? I'm buying one in October when we move into our new house. I'm looking at the Sony VPL-VW365ES.
I'm a little late here but I have the 50" version of that TV and it has been great. The picture is phenomenal and I have had no reliability issues whatsoever. As for the price, that's pretty standard I believe. Could probably get it for cheaper if you keep an eye out, I think 60" was $600 last BF?
No, just saw the price of the E and liked that- I have the m series in my bedroom and really like that one.
Cheapest I've seen that one in 65" is 1,299 or so. The E-series is $899. So just wasn't sure if the M is worth $400 more than the E. After reading some reviews it's sketchy for sports, and that's mostly what I want it for, so I'm going to hold off for now.
What screen ? Are you familiar with Black Diamond by Screen Innovations? Is the room a dedicated theater room or is there ambient light?
I got a no named 55 4k for $340, dontevencare. Avera is the "brand"? Apparently they're an OEM in China. I'm probably going to give my family and guests radiation and lead poisoning.
If 4K is prereq and you have a dedicated theater room, then that's a sweet projector. Will you be watching 3D? May want a high gain screen if so.
Didn't even look, Don't even care. it'll probably never see anything above 1080p, it's for our Florida/sun room. I just go cheap on the TV so I can go all in on the monster cables
Yes. I looked at this screen. My biggest issue with it was the sparkles in it. It drove me crazy. I am going with a custom 138 inch Stewart StudioTek 100 screen. Dedicated room with no ambient light. The only light will be from my McIntosh equipment. It's being built into the wall so that it is flush and has a smoked glass door to dim the light a bit. The access to them is in the AV closet. The other rack is hidden from view and will be in the AV closet as well. I will not be watching in 3D. I actually can't stand it. Ha.
looking to pick up a 65" 4k tv for my basement. any recommendations? I don't mind going off brand a bit if it's solid quality.
right now I'm looking at these as possible options - http://www.pcrichard.com/Sharp/Sharp-65inch-Class-4K-HDR-Ultra-HD-LED-Smart-TV/LC65N7000U.pcrp http://www.pcrichard.com/Haier/Haier-65inch-Class-4K-ULTRA-HD-LED-TV/65UF2505.pcrp http://www.pcrichard.com/Philips/Philips-65inch-Class-4K-Ultra-HD-LED-Smart-TV/65PFL7900.pcrp
I recently got this one ........ VIZIO 65 Class 645 Diag LED 2160p SmartCast 4K Ultra HD Home Theater Display with High Dynamic Range Black Model: M65-D0 Very happy with it - but check out Canes link, that is what I used when finding one.
Anyone know of any good Black Friday deals for a 75" 4K? Not finding much. Seems like a 70" 4K for < $1,000 is doable but can't find a 75" for under $2,000.
Apparently this Samsung EPP stuff is all the rage on Slickdeals but you have to score an invite. Anyone know much more?
When would the best time to buy a new tv? Around Super Bowl Sunday or afterwards when stores are dumping 2016 models for the new 2017 TVs?
Anyone have any experience with this type of setup? http://www.crestron.com/Products/video/video-processors/multi-window-video-processors Cliffs: Looking for anything that will split a screen to up to four screens.
