Looks amazing. I've recently bought a 55" 1080p 3D LED TV. It a really great picture with real darks blacks, the 3d is great too, but I'm wishing I waited for 4k now, at the time 4k was loads more expensive and people said the human eye can't really see the extra pixels anyway, I no longer believe the human eye can't see the benifit of the extra pixels. There is still not much 4k content but I'm sure it will change soon. I also wish I bought a bigger one now, I'd like 70+ inchs. I don't like the idea of curved TVs though, I'm sure they are great when watching TV on your own, but having a family, I like everyone to get a good view, not just the person sat directly in front Watching from an angle must be awful on a curved TV. I guess a bendy TV would be best of both worlds, curve it when viewing on your own and straiten it back out when the family join you  |

There is still a pretty strong argument that the human eye cannot perceive the difference between 1080p and 4K on a 55" screen at normal viewing distance. If you sit closer or increase the size of the screen then the difference starts to become more apparent. 4K at 55" is more of a nice to have rather than essential.
For me OLED is where the real picture quality benefit is. True blacks with infinite contrast, super fast response times and no viewing angle restrictions. I don't like curved either so will be holding out for the flat models.
Prices haven't been announced but they won't be cheap. I expect the 55" will be ~£3K, whilst the 65" will be ~£6K. Don't ask about the bendy 77".
A couple more new videos today.
