Hello. I was shopping around for a new TV, primary reason was I wanted to get a bigger set. I'm currently using a 40 inch Samsung that I love, but I'm going to move that up to the loft bedroom. I was thinking I can get a nice 1080p set for under $1000 and be done with it. 55 inches seems to be perfect for me. But then I started reading about 4K and I'm seeing some sets from Sony and Samsung that are around $1200-$1300. They are most definitely the entry level versions of the 4K area.
Samsung UN55JU6500FXZA
Sony XBR55X800B
I'm not the most knowledgeable person with these new TV's, but I know 240 hertz refresh rate is way out of reach for my budget. Other than refresh rate, with resolution being equal, would either of these sets be good to purchase? I really can't go too high on this, originally I wanted to stay at $1000, but I will spend a couple hundred more for these sets to get into 4K.
Are these sets missing features that make them a waste of time?
My needs........................
-55 inch screen size
-I don't care about smart features
-I don't care about 3D
-I'll be watching netflix, blu rays, video games, appleTV stuff
-I sit beyond the 4-5 foot sweet spot for this size 4K TV, but I figure I will end up sitting closer for video games and some other things
Is there a reason not to buy a 4K set if you already need a set?
I love Hockey, so that's important
Thanks!!!!
