since not much is available in 4k blu ray movies and they are expensive at $25, im thinking of just getting a good 1080p tv. i watch direct tv and who knows how many years it will be until they offer 4k content. plus by that time there will be 8k. i think that tech is already here.
i was looking at the tcl roku 4k tv at $600
i figure ill get better image and upscaling to 1080p and better picture settings than an inexpensive 4k tv upscaling to 4k.
i guess what im saying is im not buying into the 4k hype. plus i have many 1080p blu ray movies and dvds. and you can find many blu rays for $4. also would have to buy a 4k blu ray player with 4k tv to get the best out of it. and i wont be buying 4k blu ray movies at $25 or even $20 on sale.
any good 1080p sets 60 to 65 recommendations?
i see only one 55 inch at costco for $569
I would rather buy a used " High end " Plasma then a new LCD/ LED. I have an LCD , LED , and four Plasma's. My first Plasma was the Hitachi 42HDX99, which is the only plasma I bought new. It was only 1080i and was one of the nicest looking I had seen ( at the time and compared to any 1080p LCD's or LED's I would check out through the years ) It still looks great and works perfectly and is 10 years old. I've since purchased a Samsung Plasma, then a Panasonic Plasma ( still working,no problems, looks great, as panny's do ) and finally saw, ( drooled over ), and bought the last generation ( 2009 ) of the 60" KURO Pioneer KRP- 600M 1080p Plasma on Craig's List. WOW! Now I understand the hype. The only reason the previous owner was selling it was he was buying a $5000 OLED. ( Hope he's not disappointed ) I wonder how long it will last? I would recommend, what ever you are thinking of getting after reading reviews, etc. is to google in " Problems " associated with that unit. The Samsung I have died on my friends brother just after the warranty was up, he bought a new TV, gave the Samsung to my friend , it sat around for a year collecting dust then he gave it to me. I changed all the Capacitors in the power supply, and one Board. It's been working fine for three years so far. As long as you don't mind metal, anodized aluminum, glass, a good looking TV and something built like a tank that can be fixed.
