4k ultra hd tv's?

[SimpleS14]

It's going to be years till I consider a 4K TV. Who knows how the ISP landscape will look like by that time when it comes to streaming 4K natively. I'm talking about infrastructure, companies and costs.

Usual crap convo....

Me: shit is clean, if i had the money ill deff buy it.
Sales person: yeah but theres no 4k videos/movies for it. So ill be a like a regular tv.
Me: o.O
Me: you serio? I can tell you a few movies at 4k, yes just a few, but even so... The 4k player still converts bluray to like at 3k range. And as far as math goes 1k (1080p) < 3k
Sale person: but your not going to watching movies 24/7
Me: dude your killing me

If my guy at the big box store isn't around, I usually get the guy who's trying to sell me the "flavor of the week". You know, the one that nets them the most commission percentage.

Either that, or they don't think I can afford it (I do have a baby face)...

I know its kind of weird to say, but honestly i dont know why people wants more and more with this picture quality. In my book 1080 is perfectly fine, Atleast from my experiences with it i'm not disappointed and cant really even understand the point of going much further... Maybe im just so used to it that i dont even expect any more.

Hell, even my internet is so slow the most i can load is about 720p. If i try to go more it will take forever just to load the video.

Mostly you only get the benefit or even notice if your going big (60+) on screen. Just like on small screens 720 kinda looks the same as 1080.

Same concept as to like photo being expanded.

How large of a screen do you have now?

^^ As mentioned above, with a larger screen size it can make a difference. You can move the screen closer to your seating arrangements to improve the immersiveness of the image.

It also adds a lot of depth to the image (From the 4K sources that I've seen). Heck it made my regular 1080P image sharper (on my 4K lite projector setup).

My tv isnt too fancy, just a samsung 32".

My laptop i use is an MSI GT70 (17") with a NVIDIA geforce gtx 675 card. I'd imagine it can handle some pretty impressive video quality but i dont even play computer games. Plus my internet limits me alot as far as loading quality above 720.

Yeah i want to say 42" and under theres not really a need for 4k... Most of tv now at that range can work wonders with just 1080 with the right settings

Rise from the dead lol



Update: in a few months my tv will be 3 years old. No problems what so ever!!! Remote had to be replaced. Feel between the recliners and smashed it to shit lol

Flash foward 2/3 years till now.... 4k tvs $$$ have dramatically dropped and commonly called UHD.

One thing that caught my attention are the "OLED UHD TV"

Fucken nice!

[BOROSUN]

oled has a burn in. but, theres some reviews. saying theyre not getting any burn in.
this shit goes back on the plasma era. where you get some burn in and some don't. ppl usage vary differently.

oled refresh rate is retarded fast. for a 4k gamer like me its godsend. oled will be the future once they improve manufacturing and lower cost.

I bought a Vizio M Series 4K last year. Love the damn thing. I've never actually watched anything in 4K other than videos on YouTube. I thought by now I'd be able to watch NFL games in 4K. Pretty disappointed about that.

[future]

I've had my 4k tv and yet to see anything in 4k


I'd love to get one of those 4k DVD players though

All I wanted to see with my 4K was football and Mad Max in B&W. The NFL I have no control over and I'm not going to drop $300 on a 4K blue ray player.

[future]

Yeah a real one is expensive. They have up scaling ones fo4 like 120 but I want a true 4k

The only sports i seen in 4k was golf on Direct TV.

Not only the BR player, true 4k will require a true 4k dvd.

Even upscale player will only get you about 2k

I have a Samsung SUHD 4K tv and I think my eyes have adapted to it that i am no longer impressed , am probably not using it right (settings) I've watched 4K content on Netflix and it ain't that amazing ...

This article kinda sums it up with 4k viewing....

I've even trying to read up on how to maximize your tvs output but with no luck yet


Can't wait for that new Pacific rim movie!

[Felipe]

professional Tuning = $$$

If your lucky you can find good specs for your tv from others who have the same tv but even then each set of eyeballs are different.

[future]

And each room. The lighting is different everywhere

Yup.


I would try at least 3 sets of specs options just to see what floats your boat lol

[future]

I wonde4 how much it costs. I wouldn't spend more the 100 lol

All of the tv's (and projector) have been professionally calibrated by my friend who's CEDIA certified. Anyways I believe it's a couple hours depending on the setup, and can be $350+

Heck if I were to pay out of pocket for my PJ setup it would have been $600...

[future]

Oh wow. My task today on my off day is to some how see if I can make the output better

[Agamemnon]

Have you gone to the AVS forums yet? They should have calibration settings for your panel.

[future]

Avs....Google right now. I'll have a better idea after my next response for you when you reply

But since last post I popped in a blue ray and started playing with settings and wow it looks beautiful! But when I turned on the Xbox it was way way too dark. So guess I have to go back and forth on brightness for what I'm doing

[Felipe]

I think Samsungs curved TV is over hyped.

[future]

The curve is 100% a joke

[Felipe]

I was all about it.. Now its like ehhhh....

I would get one only if its like 75" Even thats a maybe

Curve is definitely a joke.

I bought the new 2016 Vizio P-55
and even that's pretty gimmicky as far as having a tablet as a remote.
But otherwise it's a great TV with some serious blacks. Set up for future HDR content as well and 4k pc gaming looks quite amazing. But 1080 is fine too.
