How much difference is the 4K Ultra Smart vs the regular? Looking to buy a new one and seeing if the difference is worth it.

Just get a standard LED HDTV. They are just fine.

Spend the extra money on a big green egg

If you like hidef, spend the money. We just got a 65" UHD Samsung and wouldn't go any other way. We usually set up two tv's in the den on gameday and the difference is incredible.


Buy the best HDMI cable you can though, it makes a difference.

There's a pretty decent difference in picture quality between the regular and 4K (for the better). If you're willing to spend the extra on the 4K, go ahead and do it. If you use streaming services a lot, I think both Prime and Netflix stream in 4K but it may be extra?

Check Best Buy online today. They had some good in person deals this weekend.

I bet the best buy salesman loved you. Probably got one of those monster surge protectors as well.

It's not truly a smart TV unless you can sync Sunday's NFL package with your wife's silent treatment.

No
Hdmi is digital, it either works or it doesn't.

Fwiw I just got a 60" LG 4k and it looks incredible, and we found it for the price of a comparable 65" non 4k.

Buy one not rated for 4k and see the difference. Some of you frick nuts around here are so eager to disagree with someone you make yourselves look stupid on subjects you don't know WTF you are talking about.


And, I didn't buy one where I bought the TV.

The results at my house proved different. I had 4 different HDMI cables already (none of them really cheap), none of them were very clear. I went and bought one "rated" for 4K speed and the picture was clear as a bell.

You explain the difference then smart guy when the only variable was the cable.

4k is going to have a much better picture quality, but there is little 4k media out now.

No, this is stupid. HDMI is digital. In fact buy the cheapest cable you can buy, as it makes no difference.
