I am an anti-videophile, I don't chase the current trends, I buy these things to be used till they die. The current TV was purchased when there were no HD broadcast... it outlived more than one "revolution".
In the meantime, I believe the new TV comes with hard drive with a couple of demos on it - enough to impress the guests! :)
I can live with upscaled video, and apparently Netflix already streams 4k. However, I am not sure I will want to pay the premium for the dubious pleasure of seeing Men in Black in 4K.
Seriously... what was there to watch on Blu Ray when it came out? Same garbage that I would not watch if someone paid me. I therefore still don't even have the blu ray player.
I watch movies, not picture. When good movie comes with good picture - great... otherwise the good old DVD will do just fine.

If the 4k TV has a SD card slot, Then you can view your photographs on it In full 8 megapixel.
Got yesterday the pics of our granddaughter's first day at school! :)
Only a few will. Panasonic VIERA I think it's one of them.
It might be 10 years or a lot longer before your see some 4K content on Directv so why would want to a 4K TV right now anyway...I've seen a 4K TV with 1080i content and it looks pretty bad...almost as bad as watching SD content on a HDTV !!.. Blu-ray doesn't look that much better either !!...
I'm going wait 10 years or more before even thinking about buying !!
OLED is nothing but JUNK !!!...AFTER YOU PUT ABOUT 3,OOO HOURS ON THEM THERE READY FOR THE JUNK YARD !!!...
Already ordered it. The price difference between the 4K model, and the standard one is small enough to give it a chance! :)

Should be a nice step up from our 50" plasma.

I think his mid line Sammy outperforms our midline Sony, bought the same year, by a good bit. We can't have a plasma in that room (too bright) so when I finally get tired of the Sony a Samsung it will be.

They are a lot junk panels on the market these days and what I seen over on avsforum some are having a lot problems with Samsung TV's over there!...
I have two of them and another two that are used as monitors plus another that is just a 24" monitor. No problems are all in over fours years. I have noticed the LED 55" and the oldest will rarely go bright and then dim a little, as if it was doing an auto-adjust brightness. Then, it stops and I don't see it for weeks or more. It's usually with broadcast stuff or news, so I don't know if it's not the signal versus the TV.
I guess I'll find out if it dies.
And then, I'll get a 75" 4K model.

Based on my limited experience at drinking buddy's house, his 2 Sammy's (55&65" edgelit LEDs) are excellent. One is 3 years, the other 1 year, old.
