I'm in the same boat Penz.
How much do you want to spend? You can get an OLED 55" for around 1500 with various deals going on now. If you're getting it for gaming make sure the input lag on the tv is low |

If your internet provider utilizes bandwidth caps and charges for data, you will not want to stream anything in 4k or your internet bill will be expensive as ****.
Just something to keep in mind for all of you shoppers. Many people have 4k TV's and can't even utilize them. |

We got a Samsung superHD 4K 60" from Best Buy a couple years ago, with Google Fiber TV service in JoCo.
The local news people never looked so haggardly. |

I have several Changhong 4K tvs and they are great, no stupid bells and buzzers but great pictures and sound. Very closely rated to mentioned TCL. The early ones were 60Hz enhanced sets and my newest is enhanced 120Hz. Changhong is all but gone now.
Stay away from 60Hz and 120HZ refresh rates and serious gamers swear to stay away from effective or enhanced 240Hz sets but it depends on your budget and how hard core you may be. My family room set is 240HZ enhanced and I very seldom see any lag. It's a big step up to true 240HZ sets. Effective Refresh Rate is not a bad thing but you have to look at refresh rates and that's not easy. My go to site is http://www.rtings.com and avs forums.com If your in the 2K range for a 55" the Costco deal below is worth looking into, if you want to spend 1K look at the top 2.I tossed in another one in the $1500 range. All three of the top units have 129 enhanced ratings with great refresh ratings Take a look at these for starters: Under 1K https://www.samsung.com/us/televisio...n55mu8000fxza/ under1K https://www.vizio.com/p55e1.html Under $1.5 K going on sale https://www.costco.com/Vizio-65"-Class-(64.5"-Diag.)-4K-Ultra-HD-XLED-Pro-Home-Theater-Display.product.100370312.html under2K on black friday sale pricing Member only https://www.costco.com/LG-55"-Class-(54.6"-Diag.)-4K-Ultra-HD-OLED-TV-.product.100343123.html Last edited by cooper barrett; 11-14-2017 at 07:31 PM.. |

From what I saw it is NOT a straight 120Hz machine. it is a 60Hz bumped to emulate a 120Hz unit
Quote:
Faster still are true 240HZ and 120HZ enhanced OLED screens which are stupid fast. I recommend getting a set that is 120Hz enhanced thet will give you rating similaa to these: 80% Response Time 3.0- 4.0ms 100% Response Time 10-11 ms The TCL specs are decent at: 80% Response Time 6.3 ms 100% Response Time 14.4 ms Dane, Depending on gaming activity 120Hz rating is nominal but if it works for you... FYI. Make sure you inspect the edge lighting... See white? lots of complaints on this on TCL units. Last edited by cooper barrett; 11-14-2017 at 07:14 PM.. |

Probably won't be much help, but I got a 4K TV very soon after they came out. I have a 65'', LG 4K Smart TV, bought a Microcenter for $999. Fantastic picture. Just not alot of stuff out in 4K but I like to watch those guys in Wingsuits fly through the mountains. Amazon Prime has some 4k content now.
Would really like to find a 75''+ for less than $1500 someday. |

There's at least one dumbass here that would have you believe the human eye cant distinguish the difference between 4k and 1080p. Dont listen to said dumbass.

But if you play a game or watch a 4k movie on an actual Blu Ray disc it's absolutely stunning. |

If you have a 32'' TV, well then it probably won't make that much difference. If you have a 55''+ it definitely will. |

Agreed. Just wanted to point out that just because DirecTV and DISH are claiming to broadcast in 4K, doesn't mean you are going to be watching everything in 4K when you have an ISP bandwidth cap. If you spend the money on a 4k TV, also expect to spend the money on buying 4K blurays.

My first 4K unit was 42" and side by side the difference was amazing. My largest is a 65" and it's picture is fantastic. Gaming: Not so good
Newegg was the last US retailer as the name said "YUGO" and should have been named anything else. They are China's largest TV exporter since the 1950's but no longer available in the US. |
