I didn't want to hijack the thread on model and brand for a light TV watcher, so here goes:
Anybody else really looking at the new UHD TV's that are starting to pop up? From what I can tell, they are exploding on the scene with prices in the range of 1080p sets a few years ago. A year ago I saw a really big one (maybe 84"?) in the Sony store in Las Vegas for something like $25k. Today a 50+ incher is well under $2,000. My 13 year old 53" Panny HD projection set gave up the ghost the day after Christmas last year. If it had lasted two more years I would have gone with a big (60"+) 4K set. But it didn't so I got an interim $500 1080p 47 incher to get me by a few years, when it would be relegated to the finished basement, replacing my 30 year old 27" Mitsubishi. So, I am planning on upgrading to a UHD (4K) set in about two years when the prices drop more and the media available expands considerably. Probably a 60-65 incher which is really needed to take advantage of the ultra high definition. It might be a bit of an uphill struggle as my wife is happy watching SD content. Go figure. But it will be less than the cost of a SawStop and I will use it a whole lot more hours per year.
In August I saw a 55"? thin, curved screen UHD OLED set for about $1700 at BestBuy. I couldn't keep my eyes off of it. The detail was incredible and the colors were beautiful. It couldn't have been much thicker than a half inch. Amazing. Imagine the detail of four 1080p sets slapped together. They are that good. Consumers Reports had a good report on the new sets, claiming they would take over in a few years. So far 4k content is limited to streaming Netflix and a few special players with 4k media, but the networks are already working on it. However CU said 1080p content really pops on the new UHD sets, making them worth it even if just for existing HD content.
