40" 4K for 600USD

dunno if it make sense at that size....but thaz a superb price for a 4k tv

edit_ read the reviews....seems some marketing employed to sell the tv ...

a good source just told me that Pricesmart will have a Quasar 55" 4K LED TV for TT$6500 tomorrow alone as part of their Black Friday sale. Available at all branches, Movietowne, Mausica, Price Plaza and La Romaine.

Ummm that quasar brand any good?


Saw something about "by" Motorola

Sold like hops bread today at pricemart

problem is that there is no HDMI 2.0 port on it.

HDMI 2.0 is needed to get 4K at 60Hz
So that means this TV will run 4K at only 30Hz

duane do ur plasma make a buzzing sound, keep seeing where ppl say the buzzing is fairly loud.

I am stuck between the PN60F8500 & UN65H7150 both at around $1500 usd. Don't think a 4k tv makes sense currently.

[sMASH]

Well if hdmi 2.0 is necessary, fleck all dis!

the UN65H7150 is around US$1500

but the PN60F8500 is US$2900 on Amazon. it is one of the best picture quality panels available today

there really is no comparison between one of the best showing plasmas and an LED TV

[bluesclues]

so I'm considering a new tv, I presently have a 46 inch Toshiba from BestBuy but kinda wanna upgrade

I know 4k is the latest and cleanest pic quality BUT my question is :

1. Does this quality apply through cable tv OR only when viewing movies via DVD/Blu-ray player ?

I have the TV and blu ray combo and the quality is BEST at present.....just kinda treating myself to A new one.

I'm considering a 60-80 inch TV and want some opinions regarding the picture view on same. I know some TV's kinda stretch the pics on both ends and it looks like the characters are FAT and blurred.

ANy ideas and reviews on buying a good size without jepoardising quality and maximizing the true 4k ultra quality ?

I also saw some TV's with the capability of 4k ultra showing ( pricesmart and online )

Thanks

60-80 inch tv? why not just get a led projector and setup a lil cinema room. 60-150" based on how far from the wall u place it. doesnt need a screen because the led creates it's own colours. even shows on coloured walls just fine. this was the best choice for me. very enjoyable movie time.

Hmm. Projectors vs TVs.. Quality? Value for money? Practicality? Opinions ? Etc.

i have a mid-spec projector, cost a lil over $2000 for a max150" screen. for me that was a major selling point when you compare tv cost.

pros, it''s easy to move around or transport to a friend's house for gaming etc, cost less for larger screen pic, fully practical once you could control the lighting in the room. in terms of inches for $, its definitely the best bang for your buck

cons for $2000 the picture isnt as good as an hd tv, but not bad based on how far from the screen you're sitting. would have to get a higher end one on averag 5-$10k for very high quality pic.

bought a digital galaxy one as a test of the product. my rating is a pass. reliable, quiet and can deliver from 20,000 to 50,000 hrs before the lamp needs changing. no complaints really. also runs very cool.

all in all, the bigger the screen the better the experience. i used it around 100inch size on average. lifesize porn is also possible and a bit disturbing lol

60-75inches

lights on


11-12feet screen

if you don't mind me asking, what projector is this

is either those picture you took bad, or the quality of the projector sucks. which one

and as duane said before : garbage in equals garbage out

[bluesclues]

it's digital galaxy led projector, the quality isnt bad at all but as i said, you can get higher quality for higher price 5k to $10k range. these projectors in the 2k range do just fine for watching movies and playing games, but arent meant for things like classrom presentations. for 2k you get the best picturequality/screensize/bang for buck imo.

A projector is not practical for a living room setup.

what are you using for the screen?

I was looking at this

[SmokeyGTi]

To me sound plays a bigger part in the home theatre experience than screen size and picture quality.
Watching a 4kTV whose speakers sound like an a.m. radio not gonna cut it. rather watch a crt or 180p tv with a good sound system.

[ziggy_dappa]

Am using the SW7071 Grey Screen paint as discussed in the below link:

http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/ ... tions.html

This will be applied over primed MFD and still deciding on what screen size as anything over 100" would require me to join another piece to the sheet of MDF. (room size 16x17 ft).

This may be a temporary solution as I need something to watch when I move in my house for Christmas but depending on screen performance I may upgrade.

The media room is a work in progress all have so far is the projector and a Denon AVR-E400 but no decent speakers yet.

[Premchand1976]

what's the difference with :

Full array LED, Direct LED and Razor LED ? Which would you buy and why ?

[Advent]

Trinis have 55 inch and coasting i have a big screen sammy or sony or LLLLLG and watching dvd and pirate cam, but know nothing about blu ray and find them to expensive when they know about it wtf

ziggy interested in your pictures as well. i run an Acer H5360 amazing picture quality, evening in daylight, its only 720p but my source is blu rays so, but as another guy said sound is important, currently running a 5.1 1000watt HTIB i bought for 600tt in courts in curepe (downstairs) the difference with dts from dvd and from blu ray is wow
