With the new Sony A7s release we now have to talk more about the 4K world 🙂 Well today Sony announced their new 4K TV’s including the “cheapest” 4K Tv which will cost $2,099 only. All Sony 4K TV’s can be seen and ordered at that Sony 4K TV page (Click here).
And for all extreme 4K and high Megapixel shooters: There is a new Gold Box deal at Amazon that will interest you: Up to 65% Off Select Kingston Memory Cards and USB Drives (Click here).

4K is definitely the future. Speaking of price, I just bought a 39″ Seiki 4K TV with 449 bucks. It did took quite some tune-ups before it can competently serve as a 4K monitor, but once you are on 4K, the breath taking viewing experience of photos and 4K videos….there’s no going back.
Hello.
Where did you buy it so cheaply, please?

$575.99
Tiger Direct had it for $379 after rebate a few weeks ago.

Alright then. This was the missing bit for 4K to be in the interest of the common consumer…a cheaper place to watch it!
Good stuff. Hope Sony sells tons of the AX100 cams.
Im probably in the minority but I don’t see 4k really taking off anytime soon. The 1080p TVs will only get cheaper and most standard tv itself isn’t even broadcast in 4k let alone 1080p. I can see it for movies and sports though. It’s going to take a long time for it to become more standard.
Maybe 4K will even be skipped by the majority and only the next generation (8K?) will be a success.
There is zero chance 4K will be skipped over for 8K. The Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note 3 smartphones have 4K along with the Sony Xperia Z2 and it will be at least 10 years before 8K is in smartphones.
Smartphones are now 4K capable – but that doesn’t necessarily mean that people will re-equip their living rooms with 4K TVs right away.
Forget about 8K TVs. You could get 4K UHD TVs for under $400.
I would much rather have 8k becaise I would want it for viewing high res pictures.
Same here. Will skip the 4K.
I would rather take a 4k monitor today, than an 8k one 3 years from now.
There’s no way the industry will pass up the opportunity of making us buy both. Besides the difference between 1080 and 4k is like night and day, while 8k is barely noticeable in today’s consumer display sizes, especially in fast action. Maybe for black and white text, or photos when viewed up close.
4k and above are more important for content providers than consumers, in order to future proof themselves. Have you recently watched an 80s TV show, recorded on an NTSC video camera? It’s unwatchable. That’s what future proofing means.
As a consumer, I just want more high-quality content, big budget, cinematic TV, with a good story and interesting character development.
I will stay with my plasma as long as OLED 4K get under 1000eur .
Yesterday called, they want their Kingston memory card deal back.
so smart just before the world cup but no one will benefit what so ever from 4k tv before we get a contant for it , at least in bluray form
4k tv is most usefull in the larger sizes..65″ + .
Even at the lower prices sony is more sxpensive than the competition.
When the price comes down I would like a 65″ 4k tv to use as a monitor for viewing pictures but would need usb and ability to zoom in on pictures in full res.
Actually if you’re using it as a monitor, smaller is probably more useful. You’re going to get higher pixel density, which makes a bigger difference the closer it is to you.
there is a 39″ Seiko (?) makes that is about $500
My need is to see de tee ail…every pixel..therfore 65″
Samsung got the TV covered (for me). No Bravias or Xperias.
There are very good reasons why Sony are losing money with their TVs and phones.
Yes because consumers want cheap plastic phones and cheap average performing televisions.
Samsung still make 5000 series entry level tvs
Sony makes mid range to flagship to compete with Samsung 7000 series and up.
at least xperia phones have fm radio!!!
I want a pop corn maker as well. 🙂
Samsung TV are completely useless for accurate colour reproduction and detail. Their colour gamuts are so narrow that a lot of colours are simply missing. Highlights turn to white and shadows to black…in Samsung’s ridiculous strive to make their monitors “pop”..or is that “poop”?…Wait…where are my sunglasses…
“cheapest”
with comas ofc since its not rhe cheapest at all
which one is the cheapest 4k monitor? You know, one that has 3840×2860 pixels.
depends on your location but for example I can get a Blaupunkt B39C4K for less than 500€. But I can give you many other examples for sub $2000 4k TV’s.
Blaupunkt B50C4KTC-UHD
Hisense LTDN50XT880XWSEU3D
Changhong UHD55B6000IS
Samsung UE40HU6900
Thomson 55UW9786
LG Electronics 55LA965V
Just to name a few. All these 4K tv’s I can buy today below $2000.
Alright then! Good to know. I wonder if any of these may come with IPS panels. I shall get a desk with 1.2m depth to host one of these…

Honestly. We get it. You only want to know about cameras and lenses.
Stop pushing it.

You didnt read his comment..he wants to use 4k tv as monitor to edit photos in higher resolution.
Currently this is the only practical use of 4k until more content is available.
For that reason 8k would be really nice as a monitor for viewing high res pix without zooming.
Can these be used as external monitor for a MBP?
Mac still doesn’t have retina external display with USB 3.0. Current model is getting long in the tooth. Would love to consider one of these for photoshop editing.
Anyone think that’s possible? What connections are necessary?
The 4k tv can be connected to your computer but check your video card to be sure it can support 4k.
I am guessing most computers will not support 4k as is but you should be able to replace your video card with one that will.
4K hype will die as quick as 3D. 1080p is more than enough.
You’re an idiot. I don’t know what else to say…
No, 1080p is yesterday, 4K is now, and 8K is tomorrow.
Riiiiiiight… And that’s why there are a bunch of cameras with 4K capability from Sony, Panasonic, Canon, RED, Blackmagic, etc etc etc etc. Sure sure…
Also as technology is getting better, so is compression/decompression. The HEVC demos I have seen are very good. Current compression over cable is not great, neither is streaming. At the very least, hopefully HEVC will improve 1080p content greatly. I don’t think cable streams will change from mpeg2 until ATSC 3.0 is utilized. (I hope this isn’t a dupe comment)
Not sure of the exact number but I believe the upcoming 54mp stacked sensor will match the 8k resolution .
There’s not enough media (TV, movies, games, etc) in 4K yet to substantiate buying a 4K tv at this time….even though prices have come down…..better wait like when 1080p HD rolled out
