4K UHD TVs - Are They Worth It?

Are 4K TVs worth the expense? Join PC Centric as he gives advantages and disadvantages of buying a 4K TV, and whether its worth buying one.

That was very confusing. I think it's simple at this point it's not worth it to buy a new 4K TV if you currently have a perfectly fine 1080p TV. But if you are in the market for a new TV or need to replace an old TV then by all means yes buy a 4K TV and buy the biggest one you can afford and that your space and seating distance will allow.

"What actually is a 4K tv?"
*turns to other camera to explain

I just bought a 4K Tv and I freakin Love it!!  plus I am using HDMI 2.0 Cables and have a 4K Upscale Bluray Player picture is beautiful!

[IM_A_BLIND_KID]

you have changed my mind and now i dont want a 4K tv thank you. 1080p FULL HD will still be the grand daddy of them all for another 2 or 3 years or maybe more until 4k really takes off.

Very honest, informative, balanced, convincing evaluation!
Concerning 4K-content you may add selfmade
- photos, depending on the resolution available and used in your camera
- 4k-video from your very expensive camera OR: your topsmartphone!

Great video !! picking up a 75" after much debate and all that information you went over is exactly what I've been agonizing over. Keep up the good work.

One of the best videos I have watched on Youtube. Very clear in what is said and extremely honest and informative. This has been a great help to me.

This video was awesome. You, Sir, are one of the few people on Youtube which can still be trusted.
As for the rest of you guys, whatever you decide to do don't be cheapish and buy anything from Hisense... I tried to watch Wales vs. Portugal on one of those things, in a bar, and almost puked. Horrible image quality and consistency, Horrible refresh rate (impossible to see any sort of sport where there is motion), Horrible flaring from anything whitish (worst TV experience I had since the 70s). So, I had to miss the first half and go to a bar which had an LG.
So, whatever you decide, don't be cheap and go for the "bargain" solution... Stick with known quality (Personally I use LG because Samsung is very slow in the Smart feature department).
Cheers.

Great video very informative! content of 4k is the issue here, don't forget that in the UK there is only 1 ultra hd channel which is BT sport. Now a lot of content on television is still in standard definition and high definition, unless of course as you said you stream it.

Which of course has it's drawbacks, as you need a good enough Internet connection, to be able to stream the data.

I personally feel that what's important firstly is the quality of the content you are actually watching, and then I'm thinking how clear the picture is!

If the content is bad, then what is the point in seeing it more clearly?

Just got a Seiki 39" 4K UHD TV  which I am using as a PC monitor because it was the cheapest around for the quality. Your video is great and it has help clear some doubt and reservations. Is nice to see and hear someone give a good and honesty view. Thanks for your dedication.

I'm tempted to send this video to my brother who bought a 40 inch 4k tv and we had an argument when I said it was a shame he can't watch anything on it and he hasn't spoken to me since.

[kirkgoodman]

I had a problem w/ my tv & was gonna upgrade immediately, so I was looking at getting a 4K. I got mine fixed, so I can do more research, I found u to be very educated on this subject & have really studied ur stuff. U changed my mind, I wasn't going to be spending that much, but was thinking of the future. I'll be watching from too far away to benefit, so thank u for saving me from a bad purchase.

[richardobannon]

Thanks for taking the time to make this vid. Was very comprehensive and informative.Was very helpful in making my choice

[ScrewFearMe]

i ordered a 55" 4k Samsung tv today and the 1080p samsung i had before it i had for 8 years and at least the last 2 of those years were with black smogs or whatever on the screen so this new 4k tv is a really nice thing for me right now

[msb]

I was really set on buying a 4k tv for console gaming and movie watching and your video absolutely changed my mind and is going to save me money. You explain things very well and I thank you for taking the time to make this video.

One of the best reviews I have ever seen on YouTube...a massive "like" to this young chap !!!

[venterra]

Thank you! This video was very informative and you based your opinion on what an average consumer would actually be looking at such as the prices of 4K TVs and the amount of content currently available for 4K. I also like the way you change the camera angles to keep the viewer engaged with what you are saying and it also makes it a little bit more professional. Good job!

[james]

Terrific video, have now subscribed. Quick question, how do you memorise all the information? Do you write notes to refer to and place them near the camera? I really should know all this stuff. ;)

[notracast]

lots of good information and a clearly spoken person, Sound quality not mentioned,

[monamour]

Helpful pointers/info; was virtually glued to the screen.
