You know, for a TV that size in 4k, that price REALLY isn't that bad. Granted, its been a while since I've gone TV shopping...

What's the new connection standard? I know that HDMI maxes out at 1920x1080.

Also, they're calling these 4K HDTV's now.... previously everyone talked vertical resolution (e.g. 1080p), but now they've switched to horizontal to make it seem like a bigger difference.

Umm...no.

You aren't up to date on 4k, I take it? I think that for now it is more relevant in PC gaming, as sub-$1k monitors are being released this year.

there isnt one its still HDMI, HDMI does not max out at 1920x1080, it just has limitations above that. actually HDMI 1.0 did 1920*1200 @ 60Hz,

any TV running HDMI 1.4 will do the 4k spec but is limited to 30Hz

HDMI 2.0 will do 4k @ 60Hz im not sure it will do > 60Hz

Stupid NewEgg, if I can't buy 6 I don't want any. That's over $100,000 you've turned down.

OK. I might need correcting, but then why the switch to Displayport on PC's?

What more do I need to know?

Edit: I've already been answered, but the switch in terminology is still suspicious to me.

unless u have a huge room, who'd want 84 inches?

I want an 80-90 inch for my living room at some point. My 65 inch is too small. My living room isn't huge. 16x20 maybe. Right now I think the TV is about 10 feet from the couch.

Same. 65 inch panny and I sit 9 feet from the tv. An 80 inch would be perfect. I never understand how people say a tv can be too big. It's just crazy to me.

This might be good in my bathroom and kitchen. Need a little bit bigger for the den though.

TV's only last 5 years nowadays. Buying these expensive ones is really only for those with a very huge amount of disposable income and nothing better to do with it.

yea and you can get a 1080p projector for a lot less than a 70+ inch TV

different strokes

4k really shines when your image size is measures in feet diagonal and not inches diagonal :awe:

Suspicious? Like what, a conspiracy? lol


HDMI is a proprietary connection with royalty fees/licensing.
DisplayPort is a VESA-specification that does not involve any licensing fees.


HDMI has firmly established itself as the connection standard in the living room, though new versions of the spec are released from time to time. Each version increase includes more bandwidth, which allows it to support more content. The original HDMI couldn't support FullHD 3D. Now it can.

HDMI never really made a huge splash in the PC world. When HDMI was being placed on more devices, DVI was still always included. DisplayPort has basically moved to replace both and most manufacturers have latched onto it. Quite a few monitors also include DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort, since we're still very much in a transition phase as opposed to an outright replacement.
