After my son moved out because he got married last July,he took his TV with him. I replaced it with a 43 inch Sharp Ultra from HH Gregg. The price was $598 but there was a 50 dollar discount plus they knocked off another 20 bucks IF I decided to get the 3 year warranty for 99 bucks. The actual TV price came to 528.00

I then purchased an upconvert (to 4K) Bluray player. The 4k picture is unreal when watching a bluray BUT you are stuck watching it with the black bands on it which reduces the picture dramatically. The option to enlarge the screen is not available during a 4K Bluray movie.
You end up having to go into your settings on the Bluray player and drop down to 1080P to rid yourself of the bands.

Downstreaming TV shows from Netflix was a different story. Watching Parks & Rec or Hawaii 5-0 was unreal on a full screen. The picture was beyond description. Brighter and very vivid.

4K TV's have had a real price drop lately. I think it's well worth it to pay an extra 40-50 bucks (compared to a same size LED TV) on a TV that will give you that kind of picture.

How can you have something "Organic" when it is man made? Are there going to be lightning bugs in the tv, flashing?

Panasonic for life. Until it dies.

But as plasma's biggest fan, I have to admit that OLED looks better.

The word is the OLED is the shit.

However, bro in law just got the 75 inch 4K...and he is kind of a movie/tv snob, and I would have No issues with having a huge 4K on the wall

Didn't feel like starting a new thread, a 1080p is fine with me.. Any better deals than the 48" vizio 1080p for 299$ @ Best Buy to be had?

That's not very Pulte of you. I mean, I understand a regular guy like Speeps owning a Vizio... But a Pulte home deserves an MU9000.

It's not all about size, my friend. Otherwise you'd just project.

I'm not saying Vizio sucks but I'm surprised a guy like you wouldn't get a much better model like Sony or Samsung.

I just read the reviews, and they all said don't waste the money. Nothing more to it than that.

I had one for 9 years, loved it, gave it away last year and it worked fine. I was told the dude who started vizio is a former Sony big shot.

Just looked at a couple reviews and the price point is the problem.

Pulte was giving them away when you buy a house.
