Deadpool, The Revenant, and Life of Pi. Have waited to watch all 3 of them in 4K.

The Revenant will be my first without a doubt, not even that interested in the movie, just about the scenes in native 4K with HDR10.

I do love my PS4 even though im a PC first guy. Just wish the consoles had more of a library. The WiiU even with the lack of AAA 3rd Party titles, has the richer library.

Something is comforting when logging into that terrible UI and the blue light radiating from a PS4 in a dark room. It is calming, like watching a movie in a warm house on the sofa during a rainy winter day.

Ps4 became my primary unless a game runs like shite the way fallout did. Then I go pc. They did such a better job with ps4 than PS3 it's ridiculous.

CPU/MOBO combo will be $200. Then the GPU for $150-$200 . That is $400-450 right there. Then add a SSD, PSU and case for another $120 or so.

$600 can get you a decent 1080 machine.

Now that might be a waste, but if you really really want some 4K Blu-Rays....

Which ones are out?

I mean it was either $317 for the Samsung 4K Player (Which isn't a very good player itself, barebones, but only one on the market) or $299 for an XB1S with a good 4K player.

Every big movie comes out in 4K now, Ghostbusters, Suicide Squad, Warcraft, Everest, X-men: Apocalypse....

Believe we have hit that point with 4K officially, any new semi major movie will release standard on 4K BR at the same time as DVD/BR.

You didn't want to connect your TV to the internet and haven't used any of the built in 4K apps this whole time?

Owned a TV with apps since probably 2011 and have never used any of those apps once. The UI was slow enough to force me onto a Roku or Ps3 back then.

Will give it try with these new Vizios. It's just something I over look. I do hook them up to the net occasionally to check for codec updates but that is about it.

Yeah it's a different world with these TV OS's these days. Hell this Sammy has a quad core.

My LG has a quad core and it's from 2011-2012. It's probably the best out the butch, much better than my older Samsung from the same time period.

Just never gave any of them a second shot.

Yeah man new TVs absolutely fly with full OS's that do some nice shite. Crazy that years ago Smart Functions generally sucked but these days on a nice 4K set they're incredible, from the apps to the features.

Can't find what processor the 2016's use, I know the 9500 series uses a damn octacore. overkill city.

Can't wait for games to starting using HDR10, so drastic of a change for 4K viewing I can only imagine what games can do with it.

Well it's an Ocracoke but some are dedicated just to audio and video codecs decoding, etc. Not everyone is straight compute power. Instead of individual chips doing a specialized job they put them on one SKU now.

Same with phones.

Yeah I know it's a mobile processor, just wish they'd list exactly what, I want to know. Tried to Google it and can't find it anywhere.

Wonder if they get like newer modern mobile chips like a Snapdragon 810 version or something.

Given that it's Samsung I'd guess they use their own Exynos.

But point is these days they run super well and are a different game than years back. I think it was always CAD that hated smart TVs and always bashed them previously, with good reason they used to suck majorly.
