Looking to get a new 65" TV
Posted on 9/26/16 at 6:03 pm
Posted on 9/26/16 at 6:03 pm
I have been trying to look for a good deal on a 65" TV for the main living room. I know I want it to be 120 Hz refresh rate and would like 4K for future needs. Hoping to find a good one for around $1,000 but it appears as though I will be looking at more around $1,500.
Anyone bought a 65" lately for $1k?
Do I really need to go for 4K? Is there a savings there where I can get back down to $1,000?

If you're patient and shop the open boxes at Sam's you can get a heck of a deal. Just got a 65" for significantly less than $1,000. 4 K Ultra Hi Def.

It will probably be years before 4K content is mainstream. You can't even get a 1080p signal over the air or cable/satellite unless it's some special event or on demand.
I'd rather save the money and get a good 1080p tv than a low end 4K one. There are new things coming out like HDR, OLED, etc that is probably worth waiting for with 4K. Save the money for a good 4K tv in a few years.
If you do go 4K, make sure it supports HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2.

Renovating a new home. Have a living room with no TV since I moved the last set into the room above the garage. I may go this route. I thought Direct TV was carrying channels in 4K now. Am I wrong in this? If so, i may stick with a good 1080p

Any good 65" 2016 TV is going to be 4K HDR so if you buy a 1080P TV you are likely buying junk or something a year old. There is no reason to wait. If you want a good current model TV I would buy a UN65KS8000. It is by far the best bang for the buck in the market today.

I'm thinking wait until black Friday or Cyber Monday and you should be able to get a deal on Most TV's

I have heard the Black Friday deals are usually made for just that sale and are most of the time less in quality. Is there truth to that?

I won't be able to wait until Black Friday. Wish I could but I need a replacement now.
I have a pretty decent budget around 2k. Trying to figure which TV will be the best picture quality within my budget. Looks like it's between Sony Samsung, and LG.

i generally look at slickdeals.net for TV deals. Not sure how up to date that is these days, but it used to work very well for me.

Should I be worried about the fact that it isn't 120HZ
Posted on 9/27/16 at 3:47 pm to Phil
you can get an entry model 4k samsung 65 for a little over $1000 That has a 120hz refresh rate. its the 6300 model. If I am dropping the money on a tv and I am paying $1000 or more I would make sure it has HDR. You will pay more for it but it is worth it IMO

I agree. If you are buying a Samsung for the HDR I would strongly recommend a KS model over a KU. The KS models have a 10 bit panel which makes a huge difference with HDR content.
