I see some are getting under 500, is it time to get one? I'm still on 1080p, Really don't want to invest in a television because better TV's will keep dropping in price.

It depends on what kind of 4K TV you want. Are you fine with LCD? Then yes. Do you want to wait for OLED or QLED/whatever else before diving in? Then I'd wait longer.

Not under $500, no.

Don't get OLED. The burn in risk is too high to justify.

That’s not how capitalism works you commie.

Absolutely.

You cN GET A 50" 4K HDR TV with input lag under 23ms (which is amongst the lowest for HDTVs) for under $330 brand new now.

Unless you wont settle for anything other than an Oled TV, there really is no reason not to get a 4k tv now.

I say it really depends on your financial situation. Upgrading to 4K is a noticeable Improvement. But, it's not life-changing. I think it should only be done if you will not miss the money.

If you do it, I don't think you want to go under $500 unless you're talking about something like a 42 inch TV. Maybe you could get a halfway decent 50 inch unit at that number if you catch a good sale. If you want to get better than that, I'd wait until you feel comfortable spending a little more money so that you can get something good.

Heh. That's my policy, although I do splurge when that time comes.

I don't think 4K is worth it without good HDR and local dimming. If you are looking for a quality TV for $500, I would wait until PS5 and XB? arrive. Should have good HDMI 2.1 or better, and worth while HDR and Dimming in that price range by then.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Don't go cheap or you'll risk a cheap panel which reflects on the image quality. If you wanna use your pc on a 4k tv, wait for HDMI 2.1. 

I went with 2000€ minimum.

I bought a Sony bravia 65XE900E recently. For a LED TV the HDR is really good, especially considering the price. Got a good deal on it in the UK. I paid £1545, but got a free 4k film with it and £200 cashback.

One of the best thing is it has Chromecast built in so I can throw stuff from my phone across including showbox.

4k games look amazing and HDR is really impressive. Price should be coming down for this TV as a newer model is about to release.
