I bet it will be in the range of $3000 to $4000.
Php50,000 = $1250 won't be the price to long for as this won't happen.

The Sony 55" 4K is already sub-$5K so my guesstimate would be 3 to 4 Gs.

4K is currently the hype so it won't come cheap, as other tech goes.
Remember when 55" Samsung LEDs cost php200,000?

For $999, I would buy a TCL 4k TV.

Me too!

Same worry here.

Again pardon my igonorance, but if a TV is already 4k capable, does it automatically mean na 3D capable na rin sya?

I think it does not. Same situation with 1080p tvs. They don't always come with 3D capability right?
But for me since they are pricing them that much (compared to regular LEDs, plasmas) might as well bundle the 3D feature.
