4K TV's worth it?

[byee]

Is there a standard for 4K TV?

There is no 4K standard. Right now, it's similar to the VHS vs Beta or HD vs BD battle.

Probably beneficial to wait this out.

In most situations I can't even tell the difference between 720p and 1080p unless they are side by side. We have a 1080p TV and we shouldn't have bothered.

4k signaling is standardized within the HDMI 1.4a and h.264 codec standards.

All 4k TV's will conform to these standards. The only battle going on is where your content will come from. Smart TV's that connect to Netflix directly can view 4k programs right now. Sony is still working on 4k capable bluray players which will probably be unveiled at this year's CES. And Rogers is currently testing 4k set top boxes for rollout in Ontario and Quebec this spring although the only thing you will be able to watch in 4k will be hockey night in Canada at first.

i got suckered in. Their mind tricks are very powerful. walked in looking at a samsung smart tv for 850, walked out with the 4k one.

Hopefully when i play madden (video game for those who dont know) the picture will be epic

Hey Geoff, I should have told you to come by & see ours. Got a Vizio 70 # a good price from Costco a while back. You're still more than welcome to come by & see it or call/text me if you have any Q's that I might be able to answer.

Thanks Ian, all good. I did see the vizios too, but go overruled as 65 would have been too big
