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.

    • I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks. 
    • They both outstanding players and both had monster games against Jets.  We gonna need it again this week with the bills.  Go Panthers!!!!
    • Yeah okay fair enough.  Maybe the point is if you have a better system and players you can dumpster dive for a RB and if you don’t you have to shop top shelf. I dunno.    I would put my assets into the best OL I could get and let them make UDFA like Rico look like stars. As opposed to putting CMC behind a makeshift OL. And right now I don’t even remember who was on the OL when we took him, just sayin.
