4K HDTV

Anyone have one? Worth the extra cost? My TV is about 11 years old and I'm going to buy a new one in a few weeks before the regular season gets into swing. Thinking about buying the one below, it's about another 700 more than a 1080p of the same spec would be. Have read you need to get at least 50-55 inch TV to really notice the 4K difference. Worth it? I'm aware of the receiver requirements for HDMI 2 and have that covered as well as upscaling.

I have installed a few... Usually in a commercial environment, but I did install 1 in a client's Living Room. I do not see much difference between that and a 1080p. Not really any content available in 4K resolution yet, either... I cannot justify the extra cost to you.

Yeah I just don't think there is enough 4k content to jump onto this, right now at least.  It's kind of like 3d and it never took off.  However, I think 4k WILL take off eventually.  I was in HH Gregg over the weekend and was looking at these TVs and I can clearly tell the difference between them and 1080p.  However, they were using demos in a loop that were obviously 4k content.   I would just get a regular nice 1080p for now and wait till 4k gets more mainstream with more content.  I don't even think cable/satellite is really broadcasting true 1080p yet, Netflix has it and you can get a good picture over OTA, so it'll be a while before cable companies invest.

Well I know there isn't a lot of 4K content, but it is on the way. Just thinking since I'm definately going to buy a new TV if I should set myself up for the next 10 years or so. At any rate, I will be watching the Panthers on a new 50 or 55 inch flat screen LCD TV this year.

I figure when I buy a new TV in 5 or so years it might be worth it.

 

FYI I bought a 51" CRT Projection HDTV for $700 in early 2007 when everyone was buying 42" LCDs for $1500.

 

Still looks as good as the day I bought it.

    • If Henderson just got a concussion and will possibly/probably now miss next week as well, gotta think missing 2 games of stats at this point of the year might knock him out as he was only just entering the discussion the last few weeks anyways.  Same goes for Judkins going down today too, and Dart's god awful game likely removes him from the conversation as well. It will be interesting to see how the voters compare T-Mac and Egbuka if they end up with stats that are nearly identical. Egbuka burst onto the scene and put up the bulk of his stats early in the year when Baker was playing like the MVP front runner.  While T-Mac was just more consistent throughout the course of the full season (ex. Egbuka has 8 games of 42 yards or less, T-Mac has 4 of them, while T-Mac still scored 3 TDs in those 4 games, where Egbuka only scored 1 TD in his 8). It would be a shame if they put too much weight on the final game of the season if that ends up being the division decider, as I think T-Mac has had the better SEASON while Egbuka had a better peak output during that first month or so but way cooled off since. Maybe Warren goes off in the last 3 games (they still play tomorrow), but it does seem to be down to T-Mac and Egbuka right now.
    • Mitchell Evan’s put a block on someone that he drove them all the way out of bounds and to the bench. He absolutely destroyed the guy. He’s gonna be a beast for us if he keeps that up.
    • Yall... stop taking a sample size and projecting a role player into a permanent starter cuz he had a decent year after what, 5? Come on
