Having been gone from the forums for about 5 years I figure I come back with a nice Christmas Deal.
I posted this on Slickdeals but I figure the [H] crowd would enjoy it as well.
My post from Slickdeals:
Here is the review:

This TV is ~24ms for input lag as per this post. You have to put the TV in PC mode (glad they at least included this feature).
This panel does 60hz at 4K which is really good. It has a "PC mode" along with other features.

It is on sale at HHGREGG:
http://www.hhgregg.com/seiki-42-4k-ultra-hd-streaming-tv/item/SE42UGT#
As of this post it is at $249.00. No Tax, Free Shipping.
Coupon Codes
Final price is $221.61 shipped (when I bought two)! This is a STEAL for a "smart" 4K panel that is lag free as compared to the SE39UY04 which only does 30hz at 4K.
I purchased two for $443.22 shipped + no tax! It is $224.10 shipped otherwise with the HOWDYxxx coupon code. Grab them while supplies last!
Limitations
Free shipping may only apply to certain States.
11% off Coupon Code only works for orders over $299.00
10% Rewards club coupon is a one time deal (HOWDYxxxxx). Make sure you follow the link above to register.
Alternatives
If you want to step up and buy a "cheap" 4K TV the alternative may be the 55" 4K Seiki
Either way, the newer models are substantially better at the same price point as compared to the SE39UY04 which is now two years old. The hardware is no longer there for firmware updates to achieve the initial leaps and bounds. This TV has all the right hardware and software to be the ultimate budget 4K set. We need firmware programmers who can unleash this set's true potential.
Calibration settings
Post#79 - Done with DTP94 Colorimeter
Each TV varies greatly on ideal setting. The two I have share similar settings but each one has to be tweaked to get the best color. dispcalGUI is good with Argyll but also do HCFR as well if you have your own colorimeter.
