4K Getting Cheap.

[Jamdude]

So it seems that 4K displays are finally getting cheap.  Sony now have a 4K TV for only £4000, is this the start of 4K displays at reasonable prices?

I think I saw Linus cover that at Computex, the Asus PQ321: http://www.asus.com/News/L9xTPmmMwTlPMq5l

 

Seems good for $3800.

Cheap? Thats more about 10 times more than my build.

THey may be getting less expensive but i would still wait to buy one. I remember when hd first came out and the tvs were like $5000 and now they are way below that. Just wait awhile, they will get alot less expensive with time.

Well Sony's 4K 55" TV is cheap at £4000.  I payed about £1500 for my 55" 1080p TV so £2500 more for 4K and the better features of the new TV seems a good price.

Don't you have to spend like 2k on a converter too?

A converter for what?

Lol cheap..That's like saying the titan is cheap and a great deal.. Lol

How is it?  Compare the price/performance of the Titan to other graphics cards and you see there are better alternatives.  A 4K 55" TV for £4000 compared to Sony's last 4K TV at £25,000 and most other 4K TVs which are >£15,000 you see Sony's new 4K TV is relatively cheap.

to up 1920x1080 quality to 4k resolution or w/e?

I'm not sure what you mean.  HDMI and DP support 4K resolution.

I hate the built in steroes. You spend 7k on a TV and you don't have a home theatre? Those speakers just make it look weird.

The TV upscales the 1080p to 4k.

I'm not a big fan of the speakers on it either, hopefully their next TV will just have normal speakers so the price is lower as well.  Yes, the TV does upscale all images to as close to 4K res as possible.

4K can get cheaper and cheap all it likes but if you don't have the latest, fastest cpu and quad sli and if there is no content for it well who really cares about 4k  :P

[CoolBeans]

This is much cheaper http://www.amazon.com/Seiki-Digital-SE50UY04-50-Inch-120Hz/dp/B00BXF7I9M?tag=gizmodoamzn-20&ascsubtag=%5Btype%7Clink%5BpostId%7C513578198%5Basin%7CB00BXF7I9M%5BauthorId%7C5781404886740140386

No thanks. I've seen the difference between a top of the line sony bravia tv and a cheap 32" tv and the difference is night and day with how the picture looks. That TV while being cheap is probably not worth it in how it upscales and the picture it produces.

 

Big brand TV's are overpriced atm but I wouldn't cheap out on something like a TV.

[snowpike]

i dont really know if 4k is getting cheaper, i think it will start getting cheaper in a couple of years

 

cause i went to future shop and they had a 4k 84 inch tv for $20,000 here in canada

[Emperor_Piehead]

I imagine as the rate of intergrated graphics get better more brands will begin to sell 4k monitors so for the average consumer it would look better and not feel sluggish.

I can see something here, perhaps in a few years 4K TV will be a new common speedy cheap thing, like the SSD.
When they got released, prices were really expensive. Only rich people bought them, but I see them just becoming like SSDs in terms of popularity.

 

I hope this pattern does follow the 4K Monitors.

Saw a 4K Sony at Best Buy for $5,000.00, was a 50" or 55" with the speakers built into the side.  Glorious image  :o

Similar to the Sony KD-84X9005 then?  It's £25,000 on their website! :P
