What's the best 4K display for about $400?

[Rakehellion]

I'm looking for a 40" 4K display in the $400 range and I don't want any weird surprises. I know some of them don't support HDMI 2.0 or 4:4:4 and often the website won't tell you. DisplayPort would be a bonus.

What about this one?

At 40" and $400, think 1080p, and it's not going to be all that great.

But there is this 4K one for $469 at 43":

Up your budget.

Up your budget.

Nah. I just want a display, not an heirloom.

The Vizio looks pretty decent.

The Vizio I linked is a low end 4K TV and it's already 20% above your budget.

Then you are better off going with 1080p for that price but if you want the 4k then just buy whatever. there really isn't any difference in that price range.

No, there's a huge difference. Some don't support HDMI 2.0 or 4:4:4. One of the displays I linked has some weird pentile display and isn't true 4K. I just want to know these things before I buy.

The ones I linked were $300.

The only Vizio TVs that support 4K @ 4:4:4 @ 60hz are the P-Series and they start at 50". Afaik no current tvs have Display Port. Panasonic had DP on their first line of 4K TVs but they dropped it for the current sets.

This link shows you why Chroma 4:4:4 may matter to you and has a table listing current sets that support it at various Hz. Its slightly out of date but the best I could find atm. Its not a list of every TV on the market but it covers a large portion of them. None of the sets in this list have DisplayPort.

Did some more digging:

Couldn't find anything definitive on this set but the models above and bellow are Chroma 4:2:0 so I assume this set is as well.

This Seiki is Chroma 4:2:2 and has some input lag. Whole thread here if you want to read it: http://www.overclock.net/t/1563005/seiki-se42um-thread

The 43" one linked above supports 4:4:4. http://www.vizio.com/tvs/eseries/e43ud2.html

Well, so much for that one. :\

I'll probably just get the Vizio. Or wait till it goes down to $400.

Thats what I get for not clicking links, its nice to know they are pushing into the lower models as well.
