How Many of You Have 4K TVs?

I have a 50 inch 4k vizio m series.
And in all honesty unless you get on the cheap, its not really all that worth it yet. However Netflix 4k streaming is gorgeous.

We have a 4k TV in the living room but when I hooked up my PS4 to it games seemed blurrier so I dont use that one for gaming.

Turn off all the image processing options that destroy IQ.

The PS4 should look identical on a 4K TV to how it does on a 1080p TV, 1080p upscales into 2160p perfectly.
 
It's tempting, but I'm not buying one until the dust has settled on the hdr front; and until screen sizes and tech are good enough (oled/80").

So yeah, never buying one. I'm waiting for 4k projectors to get better.
 
I don't have a 4k tv but a 4k monitor. The ASUS PB287Q. I love this monitor. I want to eventually get a 4k LG monitor down the line. I'm hoping that some day tv manufacturers start implementing G-Sync/Freesync like feature.
 
Most people saying what's the point of 4K.

I have a Sharp Aquos 52 inch 1080P with a Xgen panel full array led great for gaming and I also have a Vizio P55 which is also full array LED with a IPS panel and a known 18.5ms input lag in game mode.

You can see a huge difference in quality the colors pixel density and clarity is well worth the price. I still own both TV's put the sharp in my bedroom the Vizio took it's place in my movie room. Was well worth it hell i paid 1600 for that sharp new and the Vizio was only 999 new.

Your tv can play the Ultraflix app. All movies on Ultraflix are in 4K. They work with studios to convert or give them prints to scan. They have specials all the time like $49.95 for 25 rentals or $99 for 99 rentals. Considering how the rentals range from $3.99 to $9.99 for brand new movies means your getting them for a buck each with the $99 for 99 deal. Quality is really good from the 10 or so rentals I have done.

I have the 43inch Vizio 4k. Got it for $499. Makes for a very nice1080p true 120HZ PC monitor too. HDMI 5 input supports the 120hz 1080p input.

For the three 4k things on netflix, its pretty awesome. I have no doubt NX will be 4K/60fps, so I'm ready for the Nintendo resurgence that will make me feel like a kid again, before the walls came down on my life, and I lost all the hope in my life.

There's no chance whatsoever the NX will run games at 4k 60fps. It's questionable that even the PS5/nextbox will be able to do that.
 
I got a 55" Sony 4k (and 3D) x850c Bravia a couple of weeks ago. I really love it even if I haven't actually watched much 4k content. I just wanted to future proof.

I'm excited for 4k Blu-Ray but I don't want to buy a player until it's confirmed if my PS4 or XB1 will (or won't) play them.
 
I picked up a 55 inch Vizio 4k and I use it for my consoles. It was a good price and I figured I might as well try to future proof my Tv when I picked it up. I've enjoyed it

I got one on balck friday to replace a super old 1080p. It just a tv a use on occasion in my bedroom, and LG. I tried netflix with 4k and honestly couldn't tell a difference.
 
I've been using a 40" 1080p Bravia since 2009, and I don't think I'm going to upgrade for a while. Although getting a 50-55" TV tempts me, size more than 4K, as there are no console games using it. And I imagine (and hope) that won't change next gen either.
 
I have a 65" Vizio M65-C1 from last year, It replaced a 70" Sony 1080p. I like my Vizio but I probably should have waited since there isn't much 4k content but they let me stack coupons and I got a good deal. The main thing I was looking for was a TV with minimum light bleeding and low input lag.
 
I have a 70" Vizio 4k set. There's not much 4k content outside of some Netflix and Amazon stuff, but I think even 1080p signals look better on it than my old 1080p set.
 
How's input lag with these 4k TVs nowadays? We currently have a w900a and if I could get a 4k set that has comparable input lag and won't destroy my wallet, then I might be interested.
 
On Christmas I upgraded from 480i to 720p. I have no regrets
because I paid nothing and it's a very nice Wii U on-the-desk TV for nothing (Vizio E28h-Csomething)

The Samsung lineup starting 2015 is pretty damn good. Input lag in PC mode for the entire lineup is in the 20-36ms range.
 
I was very close to buying one last year, but decided one more 1080p TV was the way to go fir the room I waa buying in. Next TV will be 4K.

The problem for me is that Australian internet is so shit, not even digital 4K content is viable.
 
I would definitely upgrade to 4K right now but then my surround sound system would have to be updated as well so it supports the standards... I can't let go of my old ass 5.1 onkyo receiver...

I have two 4k Tvs. A 55" LG and a Sony XBR-55X900A. I don't really game on either though. Most of my gaming time is spent on my projector (Sony VPLHW30AES).

Can't justify the cost of upgrading to a 4k projector yet. Edit: Long HDMI isn't as big of an issue as I thought it would be.
 
65inch samsung curved 4k tv myself. Obviously Netflix is the primary source of 4k, though next month I am upgrading my genie box from Direct TV so I can get 4k on demand from them too.

Only regret is that it isn't an OLED, but honestly the version that was OLED was way out of my price range. That being said, the 4k I have watched off Netflix has been absolutely superb. I wonder if Direct TV will eventually get some live 4k TV broadcasts. Could be glorious for sporting events.

Upscaling seems to work surprisingly well. Haven't noticed any hiccups yet.
 
As nice/inexpensive as they are, not yet. We still have a 10+ year old 50" 720p Pioneer plasma which is perfectly fine. I game exclusively on a 27" 1440p monitor at my desk.

The 50" and 60" are VA panels. So honestly the Vizio line is a great budget set. I'll take improved contrast over viewing angles any day though. The only issue with the P/M series from Vizio is they can't do 4:4:4 chroma sub-sampling on any resolution/refresh rate and have limited color range. If not for those I'd still have my awesome 50" P series as a monitor.
 
I'm planning to buy one later this year when I move out. I'm looking at the Sony range, and waiting for the new models to drop.

Totally anecdotal, but my friend has a 65" Sony 4K set (this one here: http://www.sony.com.au/product/kd-65x8500c) and goddamn, the picture is so clear. The upscaling is insane, I don't care what anyone says, it looks a shit tonne better than 1080p. Wii U and PS4 both look so sharp and so nice, and way better than on any 1080p display I've seen (I own a Panasonic Plasma, have owned a Sony HX800 1080p Bravia, and my main setup is a Panasonic AE4000 1080p projector, and the 4K Sony blows them all away, despite only being fed 1080p) Having seen it in motion at his place is why I'll be getting one, it just looks that damn good. I can't wait to see something that's actually in 4K when I get one for myself and a couple 4K Blu Rays...
 
For me I think it is. I was an early adopter of 4k and I have had 4 4k Sets so far. 3 Panasonics and 1 Sony. My first was the Sony which I still own and my game room has the latest CX850 which was a 2015 model. It was one of the first that had HDMI 2.0 ports at full speed and 4:4:4 Chroma, which is 2015 not too many models had that. I use the Panasonic for 4k gaming on my PC and I could never go back to a monitor since my 4k is 65".

You definitely need a beefy PC if you want 4k/60fps. Once think however with 4k is that turning off AA solutions in many games (not all) doe not hurt IQ since at that resolution things are pretty clean anyways. I have a 2xTitan X Rig with a 3930k OC Processor and depending on the game and SLI compatibility, I am able to max out most games at 4k/60fps with making some adjustments depending on the game. For me, when going 4k and having a high end Rig, it seems odd to turn down graphical settings to maintain 60fps at that resolution. The whole reason for 4k/high end Rig is to have the best possible image quality, so having to turn things down to maintain framerate feels at odds, which is why I am looking forward to big daddy Pascal since I believe with rumor specs that 2 Pascal cards with good SLI support should allow you have everything at the max settings and 60fps.

My Panasonic set that I got in 2013 has it, although I have yet to see any other brands with it.

That's right, I have a Panasonic AX900 which I no longer use that supposedly does it as well, but I'm afraid that (in reality) it isn't quite capable of 1:4 pixel mapping. As far as I can tell, upconversion adds a minute amount of noise because it's still an approximation, or at least it appeared to be last time I took a detailed picture of the pixels to try and figure out what was going on there. In any case, I don't doubt yours does it as advertised. What model is it if you don't mind my asking? :-)
 
Unless one of my current TVs fizzes out, I'm probably going to skip 4K and wait for 8K to become affordable. I realize that might not be until 2023 or something like that.

I bought a pretty nice 46 inch HDTV and it works good for the distance that I sit away from the TV.

I don't really feel like the difference between HD and 4K is that great, but 8K truly is impressive.
 
I have a Sony XBR65X850B. I really like it but I'll definitely be upgrading to an OLED in the next year since 4K Blu-ray is out in a little more than a week and I need the better black levels.
 
Vizio M43 owner here. It's one of the smaller 4K monitors/TVs out there, but that's great for me as it means higher pixel density. It upscales 1080p content very well, especially things like vector graphics and text. PC games look incredible on it.

4k Blu Ray players are already out...at least the Samsung player is out. A few Stores in Los Angeles and some Fry's locations have had them for about 2 weeks now. I am waiting for a few more to come out before getting one, but at least one is already out.

Sony 55X8509C here, excellent 4k (UHD) TV, I'm very pleased with it, well worth it for me even though theres not much 4k content yet, but thanks to excellent upscaling, 1080p gaming and blu-ray look great and UHD blu-ray is just launching, so should be lot's to watch soon enough.
 
I have an LG Plasma, 60 inch 1080p TV. I'm not upgrading to 4k until I can get a 65 inch OLED that supports Dolby vision for less than $3k.
