Panasonic 4k TVs with Displayport?

[TemjinGold]

I've been hearing snippets about how Panasonic makes 4k TVs with displayport now that it's confirmed AMD's Fury X will not support HDMI 2.0. Does anyone have information on which models have it? How do they fare as monitors? Bad input lag?

Also, I want to hang it on my wall and will be sitting ~6-6.5 ft from it. Need to be able to read text. What size would you folks recommend for that at 4k? Thanks!

TC-58AX800U is one of them I believe Panasonic has others as well with DisplayPort. I've been doing some reading on the general state of 4K televisions and man it really looks like things are not fully sorted yet. I really want to jump into a 4K set but leery I'll regret it when in say 6-8 months more mature sets will show up.

Yeah I feel the same way. The Panasonic sales lady on their website tried pretty hard to get me to pay $6k for a tv today though haha...

Wow those Panasonics look really... heavy? Amazon is saying it's like 100 lbs!

That is heavy I have a 60" Panasonic plasma and I don't think it weighs that, maybe but the plasma sets are heavier.

Amazon lists the shipping weight. The TV is just over 70lbs, which is pretty typical.

Weight with the stand is 106lbs. That is a heavy stand!

I don't know about typical. The Samsungs I looked at were like 40-50lbs...
