Need Help in picking a good 4K TV

[theone]

To all the members here and Mods, my wife gave in and wants me to buy a 4K tv with 3D, if possible, now the problem is which one is a good one to buy. I want to spend under $2,000.00. I currently have a Samsung SmartTV so I know that Samsung Products are great but if anyone has others like LG, I would really like your input. It is much appreciated, thanks guys.

Samsung Sounds good but a little too pricy. Not sure I want to buy a Vizio, I be better off getting an LG then the Vizio. 65" is too big since my living room is small and I'm about 5 feet away from the TV lol. 50" would be good. Sumsung 4k 55' are selling for $1,500.00 with Quad Core and built in Wifi.

Me personally i would stick with Samsung just be careful with the One Connect option from Samsung mag and avov boxes tend to have an issue with them.

[Marley]

Samsung UN55JS8500 55" LED 4K SUHD 240cmr Smart 3D $ 1,199.99 - HDR COMPATIBLE

LG 55UB8500 55" LED 4K UHD 120Hz 3D Smart $ 799.99

Whats the difference between OLED and LED? The LG looks good but is it 4K?

Thanks for the info. I will look into the Samsung or LG as my choices at 55".

The materials it is made from.

LED is typically silicon-based

OLED is Organic and comes from the materials used being carbon


Here is a good read on the differences and how OLED work.

Ok guys just bought an LG 55" 4K and want to test the 4K out. Where should I go on the Avov Online 4 to test the picture?

[Kimbo]

Great choice, Youtube has some 4K videos!! Also Video Addon "Big Buck Bunny" has a test video for all formats including 4K

Picture is very slow on Big Buck. I tried changing my AVOV Settings to 1080 60hz and the picture is screwed up so I have to leave it on 1080 24hz

[Kimbo]

I had the same issues, maybe clearing the cache!!

I don't have to change anything on my TV do I? It knows automatically a 4K picture?

[Kimbo]

I meant on the streaming box, not on the TV. But It looks like it is addon that is doing because i get the same thing with 1080P

No I understand that but do I have to do anything to the TV Settings to view 4K content or it does it automatically.

The guy told me it did but I doesn't have it but I don't care about the 3D really. Paid it $2,400.00.

[Kimbo]

Cool, only reason I asked was that on your first post you said you wanted 3D, but looking at the videos it is a sweet device great buy!!

Yah It would have been a bonus if 3D was included but when I saw this TV, I didn't really care if it had it or not, the picture was amazing and the It comes with an airmouse built into the remote. The sound is from Harmon Kardon so you know the sound is going to be awesome.

For 55 inches on the video it looks bigger!! Are you going to do the stand or a wall mounting?

Its currently on a stand. Where the wires are for my cable is in a place where I cant put the TV on the wall. Rogers doesn't have wireless Boxes.

I wish I could but I cant fine anything that is 4K content. I have my cable company coming in tomorrow to install their 4K set top box.

[Marley]

yea here in state can find deal all the time

[theone]

Ok so I download DNA4K addon in Kodi and went to the Movie section but for some reason all the movies are running slow. When I test it on youtube it works beautiful but on my avov box its really slow. I'm sure it has something to do with KODI or my settings in avov.

[theone]

Wow, wow, wow, what an awesome picture. Just had my cable company come over to install the 4K STB and wow, Soccer Match is going to look great. Its like being there live. Laser, eat your heart out bro, you don't know what your missing.

Well, its been 2 weeks since I got my 4K Tv and with my Rogers 4K box and i'm loving the Channels. I watched the baseball games and this one channel on 999 Called Wild Things and its stunning, with great Vivid Pictures. Cant wait for more channels to be added.

[Kimbo]

Okay now you are just rubbing it in..:o LOL!!!4K is truly awesome, i bet!!

Its breath taking. Especially the wild life scenes. The colors are something like I never seen before on TV. My TV has over a billion colors and it truly shows it. You have to see it to believe it.
