And I know I'll have to bite the bullet eventually. I love my Panasonic Plasma, and don't care at all about 4K given the distance I watch from. It has a better picture than any 4K non-HDR TV I've seen. But HDR/Dolbyvision is something I'm very interested in, so sooner or later I'm going to upgrade. I think it might take LOTR in HDR for me to do it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,289 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Yea they don't seem to even sell 1080p displays anymore for anything but smaller budget tvs, seems to all be 4K now. I didn't particularly want 4K either, but I don't really have a choice and I have a PS4 that can do 4K so why the hell not. And yea, I have no interest in buying a 4K UHD Blu Ray player and starting a movie collection all over in 4K UHD BD, but properly done LOTR in that format could convince me to try, too.

Me neither and personally I find Plasma to have the most filmlike quality. I recently paid 250 Euro for my used Samsung 51" Plasma 1080p TV and I prefer it over latest TVs that I see at the stores, including OLED. I admit, the colorful 4K demos look truly incredible but when they play a movie I'm not that impressed. It always looks like digital video to me.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I love my 4K Samsaung 55 in curve set. The picture is incredible. I want to get a 4k UHD BR player that upscales BR's already in my posession. That my be a gift for the tree in 10 weeks or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,289 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 How do you find the curved TV fares when you have say 5-6 people in the room watching the game. Does the picture look good to everyone or just the guy sitting dead center? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I always sit in my favorite chair which is to the left. There are no angle issues. It did take us about a week playing with the settiings to settle on what we agreed looks best. We put on Survivor and felt as if we could climb into the picture it was so real.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Wait, since the image part is firing off pixels, and the letterbox parts are switched off, that would mean the image part is aging the pixels faster. Therefore it would leave a burn-in impression on the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, when we updated our service with AT&T the Mrs got a 35 channel package of Direct TV for $10 a month we can watch / stream anywhere. Of of course I couldn’t get the Mrs to understand you can do the same with Spectrum in the house our wherever a WiFi hotspot is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,289 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I haven't decided what we're going to do with our current TV when we get the new one. Theoretically we could put it in the bedroom (the previous owners of the house had one there, the room is setup for a perfect spot for it), but I kinda like not having one in there. It might go in the basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
