    This is actually a bargain (not that I can afford it), but compare to the 1st gen plasmas that used to cost like $15k for a 50". I still remember I saw them at Binglee and was like gees…that's a nice/big TV, but nearly fainted when i saw the $15k price tag lol

  Is 4k 60hz a standard yet? Even though your PS4 can't do it, what about someone who drops near 7k on one of these puppies, then plugs in a beast beast htpc in 18 months? Can the damn thing even play back video at a stable 60fps?

  Don't we need displayport 1.4 connections or something?
  I'm wary of buying anything 4k related until we a, have 60 frame support as standard at 4k and b, have the same freesync tech from PC's - it's going to become an industry standard in the next 5 years

    CyberMurning on 30/10/2014 - 10:43

    not standard i think, anyone buy this just waste of money and not making a smart purchase

    • 

      rompastompa on 30/10/2014 - 12:44

      We need people to buy at this price, so eventually the rest of us can buy when they're affordable.

        Yeah but TV tech is in limbo right now, video tech is in limbo.
        "Sync" technology could actually be a significant change to how displays work in general, "FreeSync" from AMD is free - it's going in to displayport, how long until it's in HDMI as well?

        Also 60hz is standard (despite playback being 24 or 30) so we need 60hz too, 4k tv's don't offer this consistently yet.

    Nope, now a year after the Pana WT600 we still only have two models that can do 4K60p properly, the Pana AX800 and the coming soon AX900.

    I'm waiting for the AX900 but the 65" price is rumoured to be ~$8000US, hopefully the 58" model is a fair bit cheaper.

    Because it retailed for about $10K 6 months ago and is about $500-700 cheaper than the competition.

    Based on how much 60 inch have dropped in price, it should be down to that price in the next couple of years.
