Beautiful Picture, I knew this was coming, but you can't even get much 4K material yet. Subscription is expensive an highly limited and Blue Ray 4K is highly limited as well. I bout the Samsung 9500 4K Blueray instead of the 8500 because it is supposed to have better upscaling. Most places don't even carry the 9500 or the 9700, and NOBODY has them plugged in so you can view the differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have enough experience watching 4k material to see what it's like compared to 1080p. I don't subscribe to TV stuff and just watch what's OTA or nothing. 4k would be useless to me since it is not broadcast yet. Jeff, He is full of BS!! I can see a difference and although I can't here what he is saying here at work, I am willing to bet that he doesn't discuss the size of the screen that he says you can't tell a difference on! Absolutely and for sure you can see a difference on my moms new 82 inch 4K Samsung and I'll bet the difference is friggin huge on a projector! I bought my mom a 4K Samsung Blueray for this coming Christmas and it is said to do a better job of upgrading standard Bluerays to 4K. It will also stream 4K content via the computer, so no reason for you not to pull the plug except that better pictures are coming down the pipe Rog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Viz was new-for-2018 and doesn't use the same screen as in the past, it's the P Series Quantum and it's covered with the standard 1 year-warranty plus I got a 4 year warranty beyond that. It's been phenomenal so far, the PQ is great. I fretted about it long enough, I had to get something! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I grow is outside garden plants and maby vegetables if I remember to plant in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 26 minutes ago, dtel said: some models may not have a tuner. Quote The ATSC TV Tuner is a component built into conventional TV sets for receiving over‑the‑air broadcast TV without a cable/satellite box. Most households commonly stream or watch live TV from cable and satellite boxes. Neither of these requires a tuner, so you shouldn’t notice any differences in setup from your current TV. If you use an external antenna to watch free local channels, you will need a separate tuner adapter to connect your antenna to the display. All VIZIO SmartCast™ 4K Ultra HD displays are tuner‑free. https://www.vizio.com/tuner-free What's odd with regards to the Viz statement ^^^ is my Viz PQ65 does have the SmartCast and it does have a tuner.
