Breh's The TV buying GAME is 4ucked up right now.

[winb83]

The new models usually come out in the spring thats why i usually buy new tvs in February because thats when you can get the previous years flagship for dirt cheap

You usually can find the best deals the week before the superbowl

I've gone to Best Buy and bought displays when they clearance them out on the model switches. My Sony W950B is under warranty until 2020. I paid a couple hundred more for the warranty but it was still way cheaper than a TV in a box. I hope it breaks personally so I can get $1000 towards a new set but it's been going like a champ. It had a lot of display hours on it when I bought it.

Most current list for the brehs asking

Sorry but


All these companies selling "4K" and "HDR" and only about 15-20 are real from 4 companies










To be listed, the television must support the HDR10 standard at the time of writing (not including "upcoming firmware updates"), must support 10-Bit color (as defined by Rtings, which includes native 10-bit panels without 8-bit banding and 8-bit panels with dithering to create 10-bit colors), and of course have a 4K panel. Input lag isn't really a decider, although if you're a competitive gamer, it should definitely be taken into consideration.



Peak / Sustained brightness has not been used to give or bar entry on to the list, but if there's demand for it, I can create a multiple tier system based on brightness and 10bit vs 8bit coloring. There is of course a difference in HDR quality based on brightness potential of the display.

Buying mid teir or budget tvs is a waste of money

Yeah I got my 60" Samsung F8500(the last goat plasma) from BB too when they were clearing out the old inventory

Got it for $1100 and the tv was like $3500 just 10 months earlier

I also got the 50" from amazon for $997

Thats why I always tell people to just cop the previous year flagship cause your gonna spend about the same amount as you would copping a current year mid teir set

Im waiting to see how far the prices will drop on 2016 LG OLEDs around superbowl time

I saw the 55" for around $1400 this past weekend so the price should be around $1100-1200 in February

I think that's gonna be the next tv i cop

Faux-K: RGBW LED TV Spoils 4K UHD Resolution & Colour
Samsung is right here. Content is produced for RGB now RGBW. LG is pulling some BS. I mean they all do but if you look at LG's top LCD and OLEDs models they don't have that RGBW shared pixel nonsense.


People keep saying there's no content but there is. All the major streaming services are streaming in 4K. There are UHD movies released on Blu-Ray and we now have UHD consoles. You'll probably not gonna get broadcast TV 4K but you don't have broadcast TV 1080p now and nobody says there's no 1080p content.

You made the right choice though. 4K sets from 2 years ago are pretty much crap now. No HDR, probably not HDCP 2.2 compliant and probably don't have HDMI 2.0a.

Anyone in the market for a TV now should just hold tight for a year or two more if they can and most of these standards should shake themselves out. Now is just not a good time to buy a new TV because everything is still in flux.

If you want to bring up how the color is affected by adding in white thats different, but the UHD alliance hasnt excluded RGBW (yet). So to call it 3k is misleading.

Would i buy it....no

Samsung is probably just mad they wasted money producing their low end sets when they could have gotten away with doing what lg did.

until my cable system has boxes that will display shyt in 4K...im not in any hurry to buy a new TV

I FINALLY upgraded my 720p tv from 8 years last week to a 4K tv. I aint buying another tv for awhile.

It'd be nice to have the latest and greatest, but I just don't care enough about picture quality to want to spend that much money. I'll probably jump to 4K in a couple of more years when it becomes cheaper and services for it are becoming the standard.
