Time for a topic that actually matters -- Televisions

[Siro]

I went with 4k, another Sony.

Siro, those bigger 4k tv's are bad ***. I thought if anything the picture quality went up not down.

BTW, sometimes those new TVs have motion smoothing function enabled by default. So if you watch a movie, and you notice it looks like a cheap soap opera, just know that it's not your TV, and that the effect can be turned off.

My 1080p bravia has some motionflow plus or something along those lines and it was junk.

I have the same tv in 1080p and 60 Hz instead of 120 refresh speed IIRC. When I get my other one back from storage I'm going to hook them up side by side playing the same blueray/4k to see if there is a visual difference. For now, the 4k netflix steam is definitely a good picture.

Also weighing in on this decision is that it will potentially be for my theater room in a home I'm building. Is it worth going up from 55" or does the quality still suffer?

If it's for a theater room, you should have bought a projector. I can barely watch movies on 55'' screens now. The BenQ w1070, a very good low cost 1080p 2d/3d projector, is $700 on amazon.com right now. Dumb.

With that said, my next 'big' electronics purchase will be a ~40'' 4k computer monitor. Should be terrific for coding.

I have a 70" Sony 1080p for most stuff and a projector with 120" screen for movies and night viewing. I prefer the tv most of the time. It is a bright projector with a good reflective motorized screen, but still not as nice in daylight as a tv.

I do not care about 4K. Hell, when I stream movies I usually save a buck by going non HD and it still looks fine.

I am just amazed with how poor the quality of old televised NBA games were compared to today.

1. A 70'' screen is more than 60% larger than a 55'' screen. Big difference.

2. I'm guessing a 'theater room' will mostly be used for movies and night viewing. Watching a movie on a big screen (> 80'') is an entirely different experience than watching on a 55'' TV.

3. What projector are you rocking?

Yeah, the 70" Sonys are pretty nice. Got Best Buy to match Frys 2000 miles away and got 2 of them for $1299 each a while back. One in theatre room, one in living room. Pretty much all I watch is Jazz games and a couple of series on weekend nights. Do not have time for much else. Bought Metal Gear in September and have only completed 10%.

I have a Mitsubishi 1080p that is a few model years old, Dont remember the model. It is quiet and bright.

I love watching and shooting on 4k. It's a noticeable difference (but the human eye can't detect a difference once you move beyond 5k). I'll buy one in the next few years.

I went black Friday shopping for the first time this year and got a 55" 1080p TV for $249. One hell of a deal.
