4K TV?

andeyknox · 24 Nov 2015 at 16:28

I see a lot of people saying OLED > 4k, but is that only for now? will you be upgrading to 4k lets say next year? im in desperate need for a new TV and i dont know whether to go "Future Proof" with a 4k now, because i dont really have the funds to get an OLED then 4k next year to say. Im hoping to have this new TV for years so i dont really want to be changing it after a year or 2 so is it worthwhile to just get a 4k one now? if so which are the best for around 500-700? Thank you.

Also i dont really understand the refresh rate on some TVs ive seen a really good samsung one with only 120hz but there was a panasonic one with 900hz?

Sorry read an article online saying the "real" refresh rates

I have 3 TVs in mind, please tell me your inputs if theres better!. Im not sure i can post links? so ill write the model numbers:

UN50JS7000FXZA
UN40JU7100FXZA
UN40JU7500FXZA

Can anyone tell me which they'd prefer if they had to choose? There all on sale on the samsung website. One has nano crystal technology which might sound better than it is? but only has 60hz refresh rate i think where the others have 120? I'm looking to play xbox games on it but not primarily i do like to watch sports, films ect just as much. I can live with taking a hit on the games side for picture quality ect. Thanks

unless you sit four feet away from the tv (unlikely) 40" is too small for 4k

Well i was going to put it on my desk/wall along with my PC. I would say i sit around 5-6 feet away from the TV but i also watch it while in bed too. Thanks for replying though!

OLED and 4K isn't a case of one or the other, you can get 4K OLED TVs.

Sorry if you already know this but 4K is a resolution whereas OLED is a screen technology which should give improved picture quality and deeper blacks over current LED TVs.

Problem with 4K and OLED is that both are in their infancy, and at the moment I'm not sure you can get a 40" OLED?

Will you definitely have access to 4k sources for the TV in the future?

Yeah i realised there were 4k OLED but they were way way way out of my price range lol i just need a TV that'll get me through the next 4-5 years and be able to do some of the capabilities of future introductions as my TV is on its way out. Like i want a 4K just for the fact that when it does start coming out i will have a ready TV if you know what i mean? And yes i do plan to have the sources. Thank you for the information though!

I personally currently would take a GOOD 1080p screen over 4K especially at your budget. Its not like you won't be able to watch the 4K content you can always compress it. And for the foreseeable future would be available in 1080p anyway.

Thanks is there any 1080p sets that you would recommend?

Sony KDL-50W805C is highly regarded amongst many people you will be hard pressed to find a screen with similar quality for the cost.

Thank you sir, appreciate it!
