VIZIO $999 50-inch 4k TV

  • Welp, that page definitely worked. I really want one. The zone backlighting for better contrast sounds great. I don't know if there's enough 4k content available that I care about it at the moment.

  • Looks like the new GTX 970/980 can push 4k at 60hz through these with HDMI 2.0, it's a very exciting combo

  • As our probably ten year old Panny plasma begins to look more and more outdated, I'm looking at options. I don't know that 4K won't turn out to be the next 3D TV, but this looks like a potential option. If it turns out that I should have stuck with the few remaining plasma vendors, I can always turn it into a computer monitor.

    Peripherally, I hate to be the guy to complain about the web layout (especially when the complaint is "it renders funny on WinPhone 6.x"), but I'm on a 13" MacBook Pro using regular ol' Safari, and that page is (for me) unreadable. I mean, I could read it, but I don't want to. Too much scrolling for the next tiny nugget of information, scrunched pictures, just plain work to try and get to the bottom.

  • Such lols for their poorly photoshopped hd vs 4k image. Like they said themselves just next to the image, it's 4 times more pixels, not 1000 times more pixels like that image seems to suggest.

  • And I paid about $2000 in 2003 for a 53" rear projection High def TV. It's still going strong though.

  • And 1000 hours capacitors? ;)

  • That has to be the most disorienting website I've seen in a long time.
