Daddy_ Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Posted February 11, 2015 4k is a better resolution... theres more pixels in the screen than a 1080 tv. 4 times more pixels. Even though signals from your dish box or blu ray player are not 4k you still will have a better picture than the standard 1080. you could get a top of the line 1080 tv rather than a lower end 4k tv. Than lets say down the road you want a 4k tv when you can really use it, they will be cheaper. Just like when plasma tv's first came out. In a 4k you get more pixels but what is the quality of those pixels..? Ive seen some high end plasmas and LED tv's that i think look better than some low end 4k tv's How can I figure out what is the quality of the pixels?

corey0928 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 find a store that sells both brands, go in and compare them. its what I did It is hard to do that sometimes because stores are known for having different settings on TVs to make some look better than others. Usually the one with higher profit margins

If you are going with a Samsung or lg and are buying a higher end TV you can't really go wrong. If you were going to buy a element 4k TV from wally world or a black Friday doorbuster tv it would probably look like garbage compared to a higher end plasma or 1080 led tv
SIDE SHOW Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 ask for the remote and set it to factory settings..... they will always tweak what models they have instock (or out the back) good point tho mate
mothra Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 4k won't do crap for 720p source. a regular 1080p with 120hz will do you fine. if nothing changes, nothing changes You don't know what you don't know, till you don't know
FrankB Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 The most important thing is the calibration of the TV .It is recommended that you even pick a less expensive TV just to cover the extra charge of it . Thanks
aculous Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 Also how many movies are in 4k? Baraka? maybe? I would go with a good 1080p tv. I prefer Song and Samsung. But thats my eyes. Also for about half that amount you could get a projector. Depending on ambient light in the room and amount of use it could be a better and bigger option.
SIDE SHOW Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 nah no way would I pay good money for som1 to calibrate my tv

SIDE SHOW Posted February 12, 2015 Report Posted February 12, 2015 that's like saying... buy a cheaper car from the car yard so someone can tune it for you befor you use it.
