Seiki SE42UGT - 42" 4K 60hz - Hhgregg - $221.61 shipped!

Both codes already used, but thanks for posting them! As soon as I receive mine, I may pick this up and will leave impressions.
 
Reading a lot of conflicting statements on the ocboard. Does it do 4:4:4 or not? Looks like a possible firmware could fix it. I would pick one up but the 4:4:2 kills it for me.
 
For those who are getting this in. When you do, open this image file HERE.

Make sure windows scaling is at 100%.

Compare it with THIS.

That will end all the curiosity of it being 4:4:4 capable or not. You have to make sure windows scaling is at 100% (original) and not 150-200%. 150-200% will make the text more clearer of course and bigger. If you can read the last two lines with ease then the TV handles 4:4:4 chroma.
 
This is a good read also. Firmware update could possibly fix it maybe?

Anyone know what type of panel is in it?

Could someone with this TV and a camera with a macro lens get a subpixel picture? We could figure out a lot about the panel from that. My guess would be it's an LG RGBW panel.

It does indeed do 4:4:4.

Have you confirmed and tried the test images?

Its been confirmed it accepts a 4:4:4 input but from what ive read it downsamples it to 4:4;2 before it displays it. Hopefully this guy can provide us with the test images.

Edit: just looked at his post history and hes using an amd card and waiting on a display port to hdmi adaptor. Not exactly a good test mule, we need someone with a gtx 900 series thats is proven to be able to do 4k@60hz 4:4:4 color. By adding an adapter this guy will be adding additional input lag and prob wont be able to get 4:4:4 whether the screen will accept it or not.
 
So anyone with an opinion of how the monitor looks with text and how viable is it for gaming?

Agree'd on the adapter and yes to the GTX 9 series card.

I just received my 10% off coupon code and have 3 more days to decide if I want to buy. Need someone to confirm 4:4:4 and i'm all in.
 
Sorely tempted to get one of these mostly to play with, but I think my fiancee would kill me since I got the Dell U3415W like 3 weeks ago.

in the review video, the guys only running it at 30hz, but theres an absurd amount of input lag being shown.

Later on he stated that when he hooked it to his desktop the lag went away. Only the Shield TV had the lag. Then I watched this video. He has a 980ti and he demonstrated the amount of lag you get when playing GTA V. Just skip to the 1:15 minute mark to see the PC demonstration. I didn't see much lag when he was playing GTA V.

I haven't seen my coupon yet. :(
 
So InnoLux S-MVA panel. Low frequency PWM dimming, so if you're sensitive to that at all, you'll want to run the backlight at 100%.

that doesnt look too bad at all actually.
 
So can I game on this or not?
Im talking about with both my 390X and GTX980Ti.
Do I need an adapter?
 
With the 980Ti, no adapter needed. With the 390X, you need the Club3D HDMI 2.0 adapter that runs ~$30.

There's a slight delay but that is only because I am focusing on it. That doesn't look bad at all otherwise.
 
So how's hhgregg for returns? Unfortunately, only 30-days for returns, but that should be plenty of time to compare it to my 43" Sceptre from Walmart.
 
Bought the Seiki and it should be coming in sometime this week -- looking forward to some 4k gaming w/the Club3D HDMI 2.0 adapter.
 
Does anyone have some calibration settings they wouldn't mind sharing? Can't quite get mine dialed in to the same level I had my 39" Seiki at.
 
Really pleased with this TV. It's basically the Seiki 39 but 60hz.

Works great on a Hack Mac also. I'm still playing with settings but I've eeked out 4:2:2 60hz. I'm going to reinstall Windows shortly to see what it really is capable of.


gtx980
 
Fwiw I'm completely content with 422 if that's all this thing ever does. I've used the Seiki 39 for quite a while and all that ever had was 422, but now I've got double the frame rate.
 
[I'm back in Windows 10.]

Does 1920x1080 at 144hz (Blur Busters valid). Better than the Seiki 39.
 
anyone have a code they are not using? going to try and get one tonight if I can get someone to take me to the store.
 
It's a keeper!

I don't know if this is part of HDMI 2.0, but Windows doesn't reset the desktop/icons/windows when you turn the monitor off (used to have to reg hack this w/ the Seiki 39). If you've got things spaced out suitably for the 3840x2160 resolution when you come back X amount of time later (and the screen went to sleep) you'll still have the layout rather than everything reset down to 1024x768.



The only niggle I'm [not] seeing is lack of a backlight control, but I can probably work around this.
 
Is everyone that received one happy so far with your purchase? Pros and Cons compared to what you had before? Thanks! Someone should start a thread in the Display subforum here to discuss it.
 
Happy here.. the only caveats I've encountered (from an otherwise perfect OOB experience) are lack of a backlight control (Seiki 39 had one in one of the hacked firmwares) and I need to run OSX and Windows using separate cables.

Input 1: Hackintosh with DVI cable w/ HDMI adapter on the TV end.
Input 2: Windows with HDMI cable.

Hackintosh wouldn't work with HDMI EDID 2.0 enabled (gives No Signal) using the standard hdmi cable, but worked fine once I jig'd up DVI. I blame Apple and/or the Nvidia web driver.


I've had the Seiki 39", Quasar 42" (4:2:0 60hz, it sucked), and 27" and 32" 2560 LCDs. As long as you've got HDMI 2 this Seiki is the real deal.

I have this as well and was able to use CRU to get it to 120hz but it def skips frames. It will show valid at 120 but it clearly skips.

4:4:4!


The NVidia Control Panel is now giving me RGB, YCbCr422 and YCbCr444 for color output formats. 422 looks like jpeg compressions, RGB and 444 are crystal clear - verified with http://cdn.avsforum.com/b/b4/b4a44044_vbattach208609.png . Both bottom lines are perfect.

Do you have a camera capable of getting us a close up (macro) shot of the last two lines in that image?

From what I understand the TV EDID says that it supports 4:4:4 chroma, but the TV itself converts it back to 4:2:2 before it's displayed. So I'd love to see a picture of your set doing successful full on 4:4:4 chroma....

Any AMD Radeon users get 4:4:4 yet with DP1.2 -> HDMI 2.0?

I got both of my TVs today. :)
 
Caution: 'User' profile does NOT save settings. Use 'Game Mode' and 'Warm' respectively for the Curve and Color temp settings.

Get to the service menu:
Press "Menu" and then "0 0 0 0"

Go to "Curve Setting":
(I did it for 'Game Mode')

57 Brightness
50 Constrast
50 Color
0 Sharpness
50 Tint

Go back to the service menu by pressing "Menu"

Go to "Color Temp.":
(I did it for 'Warm')

1023 R-GAIN
941 G-GAIN
901 B-GAIN
1024 for all OFFSETS

Try it out and let me know how it works for you guys. I have the complete dispcalGUI profile for it as well. Will link to it later.
