Im kinda excited about the 49UF6700 and 49UF7600 LG's comin up. If they are anything as sucessfull as the UB8500's have been so far!
Like someone said in the Samsung thread, the price of the LGs seems fishy, they cost less then Samsung so not sure about the quality.
What would you recommend between Philips BDM4065UC monitor and Panasonic TX-43CXW754 tv ?
Philips - 750 euro / panel VA / 40 inch
Panasonic TX-43CXW754 / 1100 euro / panel IPS / 43 inch / input lag = ?!
So, about 350 euro for 3 inches more / VA panel vs. IPS panel /
What kind of issues did you have with the Philips ?
Do you think that IPS colors look better then VA, generally speaking ?
Thank you
Leo Bodnar input lag tester 66ms in [Game Mode]; 84ms otherwise
This TV have a great picture as almost any 4K TV nowadays, however if you want this TV for gaming, you will be very disappointed because the input lag is unbearable even in “Game Mode”. If you are playing a game in Full HD (1080p) (Game mode activated), the average input lag is about 64ms (source: displaylag.com). Now, if you make use of the 3D functionality to play your game in 3D or to use the “Dual Play” functionality, it get even worse with input lag over the 100ms. My advice is to bear for now with a Full HD TV and give 2 or 3 more years for this technology to be fully developed and plenty of content and 4K players to be available. If you still want to play games on a 4K TV you should validate first if the model you are looking to buy is suitable for a smooth/fast gaming (check it on displaylag.com)
Odd thing I noticed... HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color can be enabled on HDMI 1 and HDMI 2.
The LG Rep I talked to this morning had mentioned I should connect to HDMI 3 for 4:4:4.
I picked up an LG 55UF7600, this morning from Fry's. Came out to $997 with promo code and no tax due to their current 4K promotion.

How can I confirm if I am getting 4:4:4 at 60hz?
Also, if anyone has any questions about the set or wants me to test anything feel free to ask.

They did a review on the UF7700, im not sure how far off that would be from a 6700 or 7600 out now.

This seems like a terrible time to buy either a tv or a monitor. At least a top of the line expensive model intended for multiple year use in a living room or primary machine.
The inputs that we have now built into tvs are garbage and low bandwidth, the new feature that is just now starting to show up in theaters and later tvs will be high dynamic range, and that will probably require 10 bit color or greater, and hdmi 2.0 can't do that with 4:4:4, it can't even do 8 bit color with hdcp built in, if you go without that then some content might not be visible, it just seems like a total clusterf*ck/mess right now.
I think everyone needs to wait and refuse to spend big money on a tv or monitor. Because the high end is in flux, and the right inputs are taking too long, we need to light a fire of lost sales under the manufacturers and standards bodies to pick up the pace. Which will do nothing, it will take the time it takes, people will buy what they will, and be worse off for it.
I received reply regarding 4:4:4 on new Panasonic TVs:
But not sure if that is @ 60hz.
What Panasonic models / series ?
HDMI 2.0 (MHL) means, its working 4:4:4 @4k 60 Hz ?
Samsung UE40JU6450 has 4x HDMI 2.0 (MHL)
I also consider those 2 LG :
LG 43 UF7729 and LG 40UF675V ( or 43 inch )
Anyone knows something about 4:4:4 @4k 60 Hz, one those 3 tv's ?
Thank you
which Samsung and LG do you mean?
the models i mean above?
i think i order the Samsung UE40JU6450, although someone said the 6000 series doesn't support 4:4:4 @4k 60 hz
The Samsung is nice. I will go for a 43" inch tv, it seems like a nice size.
Yes.-I was told passive 3D with a 4K TV is the best 3D available because you get full resolution that you normally can't get with a passive 1080p TV. Is this true?
-I am surprised to hear about people being able to see "horizontal lines" in 2D and 3D because the TV is a passive 3D tv. This sounds pretty terrible. Should I get an active tv instead? Has it been fixed with firmware? Is it really noticeable?
Thank you Nenu for your input. Seems like a lot of people like the TV. Do you use it for PC/console gaming by any chance? Do you notice lag between that and a PC monitor? I know it won't be nearly as good but as a pretty casual player, I don't know if I'll even notice it. I will definitely keep my eyes peeled for when Microcenter hopefully has another crazy discount like they did last time.
