For those who already have these 4k uhd tvs, if your source is 1080p blurays, is there really a big difference vs 1080p?

Im thinking kasi just to wait until real 4k blurays are plenty na sa market before getting one.

Thanks

Bluray 1080p upscaled to 4k malayo ang PQ over non uhd tv... As if you're watching real 4k, super detailed!! Khit 1080p nmkv file big diff sa PQ!!

Yup, though the player for UHD Blurays had already been launched start of September.

Just got an lg 4k uf680

Downloaded some 4k clips and played it thru usb. . It's really clear. Very detailed.

Here's the thing. When playing full HD movies through their usb, medyo Hindi sya detailed. Same with non hd movies.

Playing Blu-ray disc naman via ps3, ok lang. Nothing improve. As it is I'm still using my old full HD TV.

Any settings I need to do? Both on tv or ps3. Or I just need to have a proper Blueray 4k up scaling player

It seems like the built-in upscaler of your 4K TV is not up to your standards. In this case, the native Full HD TV will still look best, since it's 1:1 pixel ratio with your video source.

In many cases, 1080p and 720p sources play worse on 4K TVs, unless the upscaler on the TV (or the player) is really good. Unfortunately, depending on the person's expectations, the good upscalers can be expensive.

Boxing Day sale here!

55" 4K LG 55UF8500 for only $998 + tax!

See specs here

I'm itching to buy it and try, if it wasn't too cold outside to sleep for probably couple weeks (because that's where my wife will point me to sleep for sure LOL).

my dad bought a Sony X83C 4K 49" price at Sony at around P41k. Tested out last NYE weekend. 1080 was great. 720 not too much improvement. Anime tested were clean and crisp. Not able to maximize Youtube 4k test videos as network was slow using a pocket wifi for LTE only. I think its a good buy at this price. Would try out 4k videos next.

I just got a hisense 40inch 4k 40k322 w/c is the same 4k UHV200 series from devant.

I wanted to use this as my monitor for my gtx 970. I was first skeptical about the TVs hdmi 2.0 support but it is indeed hdmi 2.0 and it can display 4k @ 60hz/60fps unlike 1st gen 4k TVs that are only ver 1.4.

Ok yung response time nya, no input lag, yung contrast nya ok. kaya sumabay sa panasonic plasma ko na 42px20. 120hz capable pa sya (1080p only) via nvidia custom resolution. (up to 480hz interpolated/smooth motion via menu)

All for 21.5k (19.6k cash). Although the LG 40 inch 4k is just 2k more expensive 40UF670T, yung hisense/devant na kinuha ko kasi mas ok yung response time. kita ko yung ghosting sa LG and may built in isdb tuner na si hisense/devant.

Ito yung review nya for the 50 inch version:

Since all 4K TV sets upscale the pic to 4K, I'd like your opinion on the upscaler of LG, Sony, Samsung. Primary source material is Skycable w/ SD and HD (1080i /1080p) channels, 720p movies, Blu-ray Discs, DVDs. I heard lousier PQ for SD, DVD and 720p. Is there a way to bypass Upscaling for any of the brands?

I think iba ibang models per brand, iba iba din ang upscaling niya. Someone told me that the more expensive models have better upscaling.

Internet Connection Speed Recommendations

Below are the Internet download speed recommendations per stream for playing movies and TV shows through Netflix.

0.5 Megabits per second - Required broadband connection speed
1.5 Megabits per second - Recommended broadband connection speed
3.0 Megabits per second - Recommended for SD quality
5.0 Megabits per second - Recommended for HD quality
25 Megabits per second - Recommended for Ultra HD quality
HD Video Quality

Movies and TV shows that are available in high definition will play in 720p or better with a fast enough Internet connection. To watch Netflix in HD, ensure you have an HD plan, then set your video quality setting to High in the Playback Settings for your account.

Netflix Bandwidth Usage

Higher quality video uses more bandwidth than lower quality video. If your service provider applies a bandwidth or data cap to your Internet service, you can Manage Bandwidth Usage by changing the video quality settings to Low or Medium to consume less data.

... Nice!!!... Kaso baka umpisa palang ng movie ubos na agad data ko!!! ..."buffering" na!!! haaaayz

They may not be certified, but higher-end 2015 TV releases would likely still meet the specs required for UHD Premium. Samsung's SUHD models and LG's OLED and Quantum Dot UHD models should do quite well. LG is now naming their Quantum Dot models as "Super UHD" (very similar to Samsung's "SUHD").

Those who have 20Mbps or better connections can now watch UHD material from Netflix. Netflix' material does not take full advantage of the features of UHD Premium TVs though because of the color space used.

Amazon Prime Instant Video is where we can get Rec. 2020 material. If Netflix makes it big in the Philippines, maybe we can get Amazon PIV too. The main hurdle would be the local internet infrastructure.

Agree. Most people would likely run Netflix at SD res... pretty sad.

Netflix Data Rate:
Low Def: 0.3 GB per hour (0.7 Mbps)
Standard Def: 0.7 GB per hour (1.6 Mbps)
High Def: 3 GB per hour (6.7 Mbps)
Ultra HD: 7 GB per hour (15.6 Mbps)

Those with fast connections may be held back by fair use policies throttling connections midway through a movie/show.

^^ should not impact on PLDT Fibr subscribers. I wish Netflix would host some of their servers here so congestion would not be that bad.

Those who have an LG smart tv.

Do you have Netflix available on the app.store? When I got my 4k TV, wala Siya. Not even available for download. But I heard Samsung and Sony just updated their app.store so meron na. LG wala pa.

Another thing is, I'm subscribed to pldt 3 mbps and Netflix ultra hd. I'm getting 480p up to 720p resolution. Is that normal? Sorry because I'm new to this Netflix and 4k TV thing

Normal. You need a faster connection for reliable UHD streaming.
