need advice ASAP! tv, should i buy it?!

SE, just remember that it's a back lit LED TV. Back lit LED TVs supposedly provide better PQ vs edge lit LED, but the trade off is that they are thicker/heavier than edge lit.

I would not be buying a 1080p set with 4K 60Hz so close.

-60hz sucks

-Most tv and movie content (Blu Rays, cable companies, etc.) maxes at 1080p

-Even "next gen" consoles (PS4, Xbone) only really have power for 1080p

4k is a bigger money waste than 3D right now
 
It is cheap sure. Is it new? I wouldn't buy it myself. If you are hurting for money then go ahead, otherwise I'd go with a new Panasonic ST line minimum.

4K 60 Hz and you can drop it down to 120Hz 1080p

4K is not a waste if you do any desktop productivity on it. It's a super high res screen that you can drop down to 1080p for other content and gaming.

Unless you use the gimmicky post processing interpolating auto motion plus stuff, anything above 60hz is not going to make a difference right?

Like if you get a 120hz Tv but never use the added frames, you're still just watching 60hz.

I don't like the AMP crap b/c it gives that soap opera affect.

Do you use a 4k screen for desktop productivity?

I never get these people who say "wait to buy the latest greatest product coming out" when someone asks about buying a current product that is really cheap.

If he's buying a current product for a low price, what makes you think he wants to spend a shit ton of money on an upcoming product?

No, that is not correct.

Most movies the last 80 years have been filmed at 24fps. Since 60 cannot be evenly divided by 24, you are actually dealing with 3:2 pulldown with a 60hz TV. The only way to watch movies and many TV shows as they were filmed is a 120hz TV (as 120 is evenly divided by 24).

The interpolation is simply an extra software gimmick that got added to 120hz TVs. You can turn it off and still enjoy watch movies as they were intended.

I have no idea on that, but even if that were true, your TV signal coming in is only 60Hz, so your 120Hz on the TV isn't being used really unless you turn on the post-processing effects.

The only way the TV signal is coming in as 60hz is if the source is a game console or computer.

Almost all movies are shot at 24fps (except like the Hobbit movie but you can't buy the 48fps source on Blu Ray). Most TV is shot a 24fps or 30fps (like reality TV).

Given this if you care AT ALL about movie watching don't buy a 60hz TV in 2013.
