Discussion: LCD/LED/OLED 4k 8K UHD HDR TV Tech

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Yes LG OLED displays are spectacular for image quality, but I can do without the curved screen

Does anyone know WHY or WHAT is the reason that our STANDARD Cable tv signal cannot be HD quality for All channels?

because STANDARD cable is STANDARD definition and HD is high definition.

Flow's new AVS has many HD channels at no additional cost or additional equipment (HD PVR) required.

since it is an ALL digital service with HDMI input, even the SD channels upscale very well on HD TV's and can pass for HD channels.

that service also uses Cloud storage so you dont need a DVR/PVR

Vizio is making some fantastic screens and at a good price.

The M Series currently is the number one TV on CNETs list of Best TVs for 2015

For real? I just wanted to have a 4k screen . 50" better?

Actually the reason I was going the 43" was because of the price and no one services vizio locally so if anything happened to it not too much stress

Could swear we spoke about this multiple times

For the average viewing distance or 6-7 feet. For a 4K tv, anything less than 65 inches won't make sense. Just google 4K tv viewing distance calculator and you'll get more specifics.

Your choice really, I actually imported my Samsung 75 inch and it costs me 17000 landed at my door. The cost of it back then was 30k at both Courts and standards ( 2015 ). Price is now around 22 - 24k locally. Make sure and buy insurance if you importing......talk done

I always wondered what these calculators were based on. Are they on whether or not someone with 20/20 vision would be able to individual pixels on the screen at a certain distance? If so, those calculators may be flawed since 20/20 vision isn't perfect vision and that there are benefits to increasing pixel density beyond what the human eye can perceive

Back in 2010, Japan’s NHK Science & Technology Research Laboratories discovered that across the board, the smaller the pixels, the more real an on-screen object seemed to the person viewing it, even if they didn’t have perfect vision. In fact, this effect is so profound on individuals that it eventually reaches a point where you have pixels small enough that on screen objects are completely indistinguishable from real objects.

Anyone here ever order online through pricemart?
I'm seeing some good 4k models there

Will have to check if they are in the actual store

Think I read somewhere on their site online stuff aren't in stores and takes about 2 weeks to be received at the trinidad location. Check Costco and Sam's club, they carry same stuff, not sure but I think Costco is the parent company of pricesmart?

Any new tv reviews since Black Friday sale ?

[Ben_spanna]

So does it make any sense now to change to a 4k UHD television with local cable? will there be any significant quality difference between HD and 4k if youre just using flow or any other local cable provider??? dont know if it justifies the expense of upgrading .

[Blaze d Chalice]

Short answer no.

You can change to 4K TV for everything else, Netflix, Amazon Veedio, Hulu, Youtube, Redtube etc, but no not just for local cable. As far as I know local cable struggling to even have 1080p. They even use 1080i for the very few channels that say HD (flow at least). Somebody could correct me if I wrong. I stop checking them business pages because the only "upgrades" they advertise about is when is upgrade in price.

[redmanjp]

no benefit - no local cable provider offers 4K content

i wish we could get even 1080p or i with terrestrial TV (antenna) but we so far behind with the rest of the world it eh funny.

what will happen when tvs no longer have analog tuners for local stations?

we would benefit from this with sporting events like CPL, olympics, and world cup

[maj. tom]

And let us not forget that they're stealing the foreign people cable without licensing fees and selling it back to you suckers in very lossy low definition for big money.

hahahahahahaha, Flow teef cable must look great on a 4K screen.

[pipser]

Does anyone locally sell LG OLED TVs?

I could get one online but my biggest concern is not having warranty on such a hefty purchase.
