Why buy that when Vizio is offering a 4k 50 inch for $999????

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/01/08/ces-vizio-4k-tvs-will-start-at-999-for-the-50-inch-model

50" is a bit unpractical as a monitor, too large.
50" is a bit small for a 4K living room tv, I'm enjoying 52" 1080p atm.

The 65" reference series sounds good for the living room. I wonder how much that will cost, and if you can get it without the sound bar and subwoofer, no need for sound from the tv. I haven't used tv speakers for my main viewing display since 1996 :)

Just price wise, I don't understand why people aren't looking at the 50 inch for $999. It's a much better deal than a 28 inch for $799....

As for me, I would want the 65 inch if I were to get one. However since the price is too steep, I'll just stick with my HDTV.


If you look up a few posts above yours I mentioned the Visio TVs for 999. It seems like a solid deal for sure...but IMO its an absolutely pointless product. 50 inches is way too small to see benefits of 4K on a TV from a comfortable viewing distance. 70+ inches is where 4K comes in to its own.

Also what are you going to run on a 4K TV from your couch in the next few years? the newly announced Netflix 4K streaming is pretty much the only decent content that will utilize that TV. You may as well wait for the price to come down even more.

Monitors and TVs aren't the same product at all...and in 2013 id rather spend $799 on a really good 28 inch 4K monitor than $999 on a 4K TV. I can utilize its screen realestate for work and pleasure including proper PC gaming and enjoy the gorgeus pixel density it has to offer.
