I'm interested in purchasing a 4K TV soon and I'm not sure when I should be buying it and which ones should I look into? I pretty much want a Samsung, or Sony tv as well. I've enclosed one of the models I'm looking into, possibly 55 or 60 inches. I currently sit about 7ft from my TV as well. Have any of you purchased a 4K TV? Any advice would be nice.

I'm thinking of the possibilities of the PS5 having 4K capabilities and watching ultra HD blu-rays with it. 

My budget is around 1000-1500 as well.

Tough question. Whenever that format becomes more supported, either by movies, tv channels, games... whatever you like.

I think you should be OK for a couple of years but it really depends how early you want to jump into ultra Blu-rays. Personally, I don't think enough content is there yet to justify the cost of a 4k TV along with a ultra Blu-ray player. My next TV will likely be a 4k one as well but I will be waiting to see if the ps5 will be compatible with ultra Blu-rays.

Just get a smart 4k TV right now. If this was 2010-2012, I would say it's useless. However, the prices are getting better and better. I recently bought a 50 inch TV for 800 dollars. The 55/60 inches ranged around $1000-1200

Eventually, 4k will become found in more shows, games, and the potential ultra-blu ray player. 

I've had a curved 55" for over a year now. I love it. At some point there will be content, until then, it's just huge and makes others sad when they see it.

You need to make absolutely certain that the TV has HDMI 2.0 inputs (or event 2.0a). Look into the detailed specs for any TV you consider. If it just says "HDMI" then it's probably HDMI 1.4, not 2.0.

I just got a 1080 TV for the first time last month........thanks for making me feel outdated guys!!!!

Remember just 5 years ago when a 40" 720p TV finally went under $1000 on black Friday? Now a 40" 1080p TV is $200. Remember just two Xmases ago when a 40" 1080p 3D TV with 2 glasses went for $999? 3D, gotta have it for the future so you can see all the 3D news and sports that are right around the corner. Meanwhile 3 new consoles came out, none with 3D. If you already have a decent TV, at least wait til Xmas 2016 to see that a 4k smarty 55" curved 4D TV/toaster oven comes free with your purchase of a 6 pack of tube socks. And you know that the 'next gotta have it' gen of TVs is coming soon...

4K is pretty much totally worthless at the moment. Very limited content is there. Get the 1080p tv and save the money. 4K will be much cheaper in a couple of years and it should start getting a decent amount of content. It is going to be a long time before 4K replaces 1080p though

I'm also in the market for a new TV & will be buying one around May. I've done a bunch of research over the past few weeks & it appears, as the poster above said, 4K isn't even the future proof thing anymore.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) will supposedly make the picture look much more realistic and lifelike with a wider, better color range. At the same time, as with 4K, we don't have much HDR content yet. Apparently, ultra blu-rays are coming tho with both 4K & HDR support this year.

I use this website: http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-size/55-inch/best

Based on you wanting a Samsung, (or Sony) are willing to spend up to $1,500, and want it to be more future proof for PS5 / blu-rays...

This TV seems to be the best bet for you - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00U5ZT5LU?tag=rtings-tv-bs10b-20&ie=UTF8

It's in your price range, has low input lag in gaming mode, and is HDR ready
