future proof would be waiting to the fall or next year for an 8K set
Japans skipping 4k and going straight to 8k, the summer olympics will be broadcast in 8K over there
Thing with 8k is the bandwidth requirements.
4K currently requires consistent 18mb/sec connection. Lots of homes aren't there or aren't at a connection that can continuously provide a good enough connection at that level, let alone 8k

I think given the fact that 4K is still so new and in the grand scheme of things really there isn't alot of content. I'm probably one of those people that buy new TV's every 5 years or so.
I'm not sure on pricing now, but when I got my 65" 1.5 years ago 4K was like double/triple the price of 1080P. Just didn't make sense. If you're talking a few hundred in difference then 4K makes sense.

Thanks for all input , I may return and buy a 60 4K Tv for about $200 more
Ok so self research done,
It would be $150~ difference from the first link ( which is what I bought) to the 60 INCH 4K UHD TV...
BUT
From the 60INCH 4K UHD TV vs 60INCH 4KSUHD TV is a about $700 difference
Any input guys?
Should I just keep what I have or return and spend the extra $150 for the 4K UHD
THE SUHD is out of the picture for me, I am not able to spend $2400 on a TV at this time..

did you already take delivery? Unless Visions offer to exchange it when they deliver the replacement I'd be like fuggit
that's why it's so important to do it right the first time with lots of research on these big ticket appliances

Yeah, I picked up myself actually, so I need to pack it back into the box and return and buy the new one.. and reload it
I am going to return it tomorrow and buy the 60INCH 4K UHD for $150 more..
What are your guys thoughts on 4K UHD vs 4K SUHD (SAMSUNG) noticed its a big jump for the 4K SUHD - starts in the $2200's..
I like Vizio. I needed to get a TV for a meeting room, and after comparing TVs in-store, we went with the Vizio M50-C1. I like the QWERTY keyboard on the back of the remote. If my home TV broke today, I would get a Vizio tomorrow.
The 4K panels native resolution is 4k, all content is shown in 4K regardless of the signal, so imo everything looks better automatically.
Netflix alone already has hundreds of hours of 4K content along with all the YouTube stuff.
The only people who I've ever heard argue against 4K sets are people who don't have them/haven't seen them.
My buddy has an older Elite Kuro, always said fuck 4K I'll keep my TV, then he saw my XBR and was blown away.
Obviously all TV processors are not created equal, but when I was buying my TV 2 xmas's ago, the argument THEN was "future proofing"
Obviously two years later we are over that hump and with Rogers now supporting 4K TV services, and Netflix releasing all their new original content in 4K, what a mistake to not get a 4K set imo.
But if you gotten a 1080p TV 2 years ago it would've saved you about $2k?
The money you saved 2 years ago is enough to get you another 4K TV today when contents are finally becoming available. (Plus you get an extra TV) And I think the benefits of a 4K vs 1080p TV is very minimal in last 2 years because there were so little contents available.
I'd totally get a 4K today tho considering the price difference is quite small. (e.g. many 65" 1080p at $1000-$1500, 4K are $1500-$2000)
Btw, if you dont' have unlimited bandwidth internet, dont' bother with 4K content...
You can easily go thru 100-200GB in 1 weekend

Thanks for this, yes what made me want to just return the product was the fact it was only another additional couple hundred (not over 300-400)
I don't have experience with open-box but if you're gonna spend 1300 might as well buy new instead of trying save on the taxes to take a return/floor model/refurbd
I would use this as your main and move your current one for guest use.
