Can the 65" Seiki 2160p TV overclock past 30Hz at lower resolutions, like its 50" cousin?
 
And by overclock you mean all of one 1 hz. I've never seen a seiki go over 32hz on 4k. Just doesn't happen.
 
Took a look at your setup in that reddit post of yours. I admire your commitment to color coordination. :)

I don't think the 65" Seiki does what you want, BTW. Certainly 120 hz without frame-skipping is out of the question.
 
The 50" Seikis can run at 30Hz 2160p, 60Hz 1440p, 120Hz 1080p, and 240Hz 720p. Can the 65" do the same?
 
I'm bumping this thread after a few months.

I am still considering getting a 65" Seiki TV, but I will also be using it with a couch gaming PC and therefore do not want to be stuck at 30Hz or 60Hz. I saw in one HardForum thread that like the 39", the 65" Seiki has a capped refresh rate when used with the stock firmware. The 39" Seiki is known to be flashable to the 50" firmware to remove this limit. Can the 65" Seiki be flashed to the 50" firmware to allow overclocking the refresh rate?

To all the people saying that it is only overclockable by a few hertz:
No. The 50" and 39" Seiki TVs are known to take 240Hz input at 720p, 120Hz input at 1080p, 72Hz input at 1440p, and 48Hz at 3200x1800. The maximum refresh rate of 55" and 65" TVs is unknown, but considering that they are known to take 60Hz input at 1080p and 60Hz input at 720p, it isn't much of a stretch to think that they could be pushed further.

The 65" doesn't AFAIK as the panel and internals are completely different.
