Makes perfect sense Norm. 
Fujishig - true but the major players & content creators (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Disney, YouTube) should stay on top of things. If not one can always fall back on a third party product.

Re: 4K TV Recommendations
I happened to be browsing Amazon today and noticed that they had a 65 inch B9 OLED in their open box Warehouse section for $500 off. It was listed as acceptable condition, so I guess we'll see what shape it's in when it arrives next week. Hopefully the gamble pays off, but if not I'll just ship it back.

Re: 4K TV Recommendations
Damn, well done! That’s funny if that’s the only reason why it got returned. Hopefully the picture and technical stuff is brand new. I’d be thrilled as well if that’s all I find.

Re: 4K TV Recommendations
The TV arrived today! The only thing I noticed from unboxing it so far is that it was missing the screws for the TV stand. I haven't messed with it much other than turning it on to make sure it worked but from what I could tell it works fine and even the pictures that scroll through with no signal look absolutely stunning. I'll grab some screws from the hardware store later and really start messing around with it but for $1,347 I'm absolutely thrilled.

Re: 4K TV Recommendations
You bought it from Amazon Warehouse, so I’m guessing the warranty would be automatic. But damn, that TV wasn’t really used at all. I’d register it and make sure everything is covered. LG will have the details on the serial # of the TV, so maybe you can ask them what they serviced it for.

Re: 4K TV Recommendations
Yep, I registered the TV last night. All is good 
I haven't been able to spend too much time on it, just a few hours with the PS4 and a couple movies. But I can see why so many people were raving about the black levels on these things. It's insane. Sometimes it's hard to tell if the TV is off or on when the screen is completely black.

Re: 4K TV Recommendations
Thanks for the recommendation of the TCL 6-series, guys. It was on sale over the holidays, but I didn't manage to get out of the house to pick one up. Stupid mistake.

Re: 4K TV Recommendations
I'm also looking. Currently have a Samsung 55" plasma that has developed some vertical lines in the last year or so (it's a 2011 model I think).
Ready to move to a 65". We do not watch sports or do any gaming; the most important factor is that moves and TV shows need to look like movies, not like they are being acted out in real time on closed-circuit in the next room.
Budget is $600-800. Thank you for recommendations!

Re: 4K TV Recommendations
^ all TVs will come with that weird video shit turned on, so you'll have to find the settings to turn it off right off the bat.
For 65" under $800, OLED is out of the question (although it'll be more in line with the quality of your current plasma)
I recommend checking the TVs on this list to start:
https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/best/budget
Their top recommended budget TV is the HiSense 55H8F (55", but the 65" is a nice $600 w/ Prime shipping)

Re: 4K TV Recommendations
I'm leaning heavily on that 65 inch Hisense TV. I would totally go for an OLED, but budget-wise I cannot swing that right now. At least with the Hisense -- it's a nice starter price and hopefully the OLED technology will go down in price as time goes on.

Re: 4K TV Recommendations
I’ve never been a OLED diehard fan, although I have played with an LG extensively and been able to see what it can do. But the still usual problems like burn-in (yes, it can still happen), and a really bad OS, I’m waiting for the 2020 models of everything before I get anything else.
TCL seems to have a extensive line of good products, including 8K (but who really needs that right now). More importantly, all 2020 models will have 2.1 HDMI, so that’s some good future-proofing.

Re: 4K TV Recommendations
I think I might buy a new tv for my bedroom this year. I currently have a 9 year old 32 inch 720p Samsung LCD. Can I even tell the difference between 4k and 1080p on a 40 inch set? I will be using this tv for gaming and watching tv and movies.

Re: 4K TV Recommendations
You'll see a difference from 720p. And if you're going to be some gaming on it, make it look great and go for 4k. Most are good prices now. Of course it works best of you're using an XB1X or PS4.
