I was at Best Buy the other day and what I thought was a plasma was a LED TV and it had fantastic black levels and vibrant colors. I have a Samsung plasma and love it and yet here was a LED TV with comparable picture quality and mine is only 8 months old and was highly regarded. My," the times they are a changing".
Fast forward just a few minutes and I'm looking at a Sony 4K TV and my jaw drops. End of story.
It was fed via USB with a 6 GB contraption so it was truly displaying 4K and all I can say it will be my next, and last TV I ever buy. Granted, nothing made today, disc format wise, is 4K capable, but Blu Ray players like OPPO can output 4K.
This reminds me of how people put down 1080P since nothing really was up to it at the time and yet the picture did look better when the TV was 1080P capable. I've got the feeling it's just around the corner. The Sony goes for $5000 but will probably be discounted at least $1000 by years end and this is for the 51 inch model. It's all I'd ever need with that kind of resolution.
My advice is to go out and find a demo of true 4K on this Sony and then decide if you can wait it out. It's that good.
All the best,
Nonoise
