Check the reviews for the model number. Chances are good that it will have shitty speakers and a fair to good screen that washes out black or white colors.
>>
>>54179821
Aside from the fact that I've never heard of that brand and because of that, it will probably break in a month, yes that's an extremely good price
>>
Shit brand m8, price is low for a reaaon

I got a mid tier unused 55" for 800 after taxes and whatnot. No problems after 2 years
>>
It makes sense if your high OP. HIYOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i think i read a review about that brands 4k screens, apparently the menus are comedically sluggish and it had a ton of input lag.

Its shit. Bad brand.

That's not a job.
>>
>>54179821
Picture quality is going to be complete ass so you can see shit colors and bad contrast in 4K.

There's way more involved than resolution. A 1080p Vizio E series 55" will cost that much and be better and more reliable.
>>
>>54179821
I don't understand why people focus on 4k. There are so many other things that matter, like the way the TV is lit (LCD, LED, OLED, Plasma, etc), the refresh rate, etc.

I'd take a 1080p 120htz OLED over a 4k 60htz LCD.

$229 for a 43'' 4k 60hz.. though this tv might have some brightness problems

He fell for the Chinese TV meme.

I'm wondering why nobody told OP to install gentoo, kill himself and after that, to read the sticky.

I'm wondering where the moderators are.

I'm wondering where my board is gone.

I bought the 40" one and it's very good.

Also my parents have the 42k680 from 2014, still going stronk

>cheapest defective 4k panels with 100 broken pixels
Enjoy your "4k experience" even though it looks the same as 1080p from 1m distance

There are strip tests you can do to test actual resolution

What's wrong with Hisense? German brand, good specs for what you pay.
>>
>>54183536
>Hisense Co., Ltd. (Chinese: 海信集团) is a Chinese multinational white goods and electronics manufacturer headquartered in Qingdao, Shandong province, China#

And even "german" brands like Grundig are now basically chinese trash

Why the shit do you need a 4K TV anyways? How many movies or TV shows are in 4K? Are you gonna play 4K games on your console? I'm really confused
>>
>>54183959

to use as a monitor and have glorious 3840x2160 resolution

Kill yourself cause walmart.

These cheap brands can only do 4K @ 30hz. Ruins the experience for sure.

>like the way the TV is lit (LCD, LED, OLED, Plasma, etc)
You're mixing things up here. These things you listed are screen technologies, not just "the way it's lit". In the case of LCD, you can have a LED or, if it's an older model, a CCFL backlight.

>>54181242

>former tv salesman
>tells you cheap tv is shit


yeah buy the more expensive one Pajeet here is working on commission
>>
>>54181441

For everything other than games, 4k 60Hz is probably preferable.

Even then, i think I'd take the higher resolution over the higher refresh rate.
>>
>>54184319

they do 60hz

What TVs are going to be compatible with the new 4k bluray spec?

That spec includes h.265, wcg, and hdr tech. Ive looked around and none of the TV's I can find in stores are compatible. So whats the point of a 4K TV if it can't render 4K media in all of its glory?

samsung is the only one i know of that currently will display 4k blurays as intended

>>54187099

wake me up when 4k TV's have built in ATSC 3.0 tuners so I can watch OTA 4k TV for free
>>
>>54187481
Is there a dvr that works with OTA broadcasts? If so I can dump cable entirely. The only reason i have cable at all right now is to record network TV.

I would love to switch to OTA broadcasts because it is in 1080p while my cable has a 720p signal.
>>
>>54179821
I have a TLC branded roku TV
Its apparently the same as Hisense.

Actually been a really good TV and the cheap fuckers on SlickDeals are all about the brand.
Sure it wont look as nice as an expensive 4K tv, but its going to be reliable enough especially for the price.

TVs are only lasting like 2 years now, even the full blown expensive brands.
>>

The post is a reply to "What are some semen demon synonyms?"

Depends. What currency is it in, OP?

Just get the best Vizio TV you can afford, stay away from chink shit
