New tv time, to curve or not?

[zachary]

hell..now looking into projectors...1080p ones of those for 700$ now!

A buddy of mine just got one, really didn't seem that much better than an led plasma to me.

I didn't care for it at first either, but I love it now. It's like that shit is live.

I know I would probably get used to it, and will probably be forced to at some point, but for now I'm avoiding it as long as I can.

Is that when it makes the video seem like a handi-cam? If so, I'm not a fan.

We looked at some of the curved TVs last week for the first time. The only way I could see it being preferable is with a huge TV in a small room.

And everyone sits "within" the curve. That is not usually the case with a TV at home where most of the seating is not.

Get outta here with that logic.

Just sayin...

Movie screens are curved...

Just sayin.

i disagree with that. I'll put my 240hz tv against any 120. I was just going to say before i read your post, that the picture on my 1080p 240 TV is so good, I dont really see how it could be much better. I've seen the 4k's in the store and cant really tell a difference. I guess I would need to see them side by side ?

You don't need 240 Hz if it's not 3D.

I am leaning toward the flat 65" 1080p samsung for now. Sounds like this 4k will not be to useful for a few more years...


Hrtz makes a huge differance? like 500$ worth it?


Samsung UN65H6350 65-Inch 1080p 120Hz Smart LED TV
1224$



Samsung UN65H7150 65-Inch 1080p 240Hz 3D Smart LED TV
1797$

I have the baller Samsung before they did the curved shit. We got it so my wife can use it as a computer monitor. Her laptop is 4 k and it looks bad ass on the tv... we also have an upscaled Samsung bluray player that shows it to be in 2160p during playback, and compared to a high dollar Denon bluray, the Samsung picture is more detailed and deep. Dunno if the regular content like xbox and direct tv looks better than a 1080 p, but it does has a sick picture. going to get the bigger 83" for the movie room in a year or so when the 65 is paid off.

Current-gen cell phones are shooting 4k video, Netflix has limited 4k streaming content, but Live TV won't have it for a loooooooong time. We decided to go with a larger 1080p TV instead of a smaller 4k TV about a month ago. You have to be sitting fairly close to be able to tell the difference on a 4k TV vs a 1080p TV.

Just save money and buy a 65", flat 1080p TV, unless you're itching to spend big money.

I agree completely.

There are some 4k youtube videos online. I had a laptop earlier this year with a 4k display. Mostly what I saw was promo-type videos. Of course it's been 5 months or more, so I'm sure there's more content now.

All the new GoPros shoot pretty good quality 4K up to 120FPS I believe, if so I imagine that that kind of TV will compliment consumer footage pretty well, i.e. all the Jeb Corliss videos, tornado videos etc.
