In the end, you get what you pay for.

Other 4K TVs of the same size cost twice as much, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise to see that this TV isn't as good as it could be.

Thanks for the impressions!


I do think this TV is a massive bargain for a specific user.

1. Someone that uses 120hz monitors for twitch gaming and wants to go bigger @1080p. This is the only TV on the market that has 120hz input and 120hz pannel.

2. Someone that wants a massive 4K monitor for desktop/presentation purposes 

For those 2 use cases, I am not sure you could do better even with a 20,000 dollar LG/Samsung 4K display. That does leave a lot to be desired for a regular TV buyer though...

That 39 inch model they are releasing for 700 bucks...if that has the same properties and features, its will make a really good 4K PC monitor/1080p gaming TV.

That's the problem, though. Those are 2 specific demographics that represent a small % of the whole market. It's not a TV/monitor for everybody.

I agree with you. With the higher pixel density images and videos will probably look better, making it more appealing for everybody... specially at that price.
