Help me decide

[Vector]

Hi all,

Could you guys please assist me, I got the the below options which one should I choose?

1. LG 55” Smart LED TV 55LF595T
2. Samsung UA50JU6400 Smart Ultra LED TV

Samsung.

Samsung.

Mid elaborating?

I am in similar boat. My TV just stolen was similar to the Samsung (100Hz) but never used the smart tv gimmicks (HTPC for that). Replacing it now and thinking of getting a bigger TV minus the fancy features but worried I will notice the 50Hz

In OPs case between the LG and the Samsung one is 4K and one isn't so that's pretty much a easy choice to future proof.

I see.

But then the age old question, when will 4k start to be a thing?

Doesn't matter, cause when it is, you'll be ready.

Is the current crop of UHD TV's up for the challenge though?
I have heard they were all made before the standard was confirmed. They can do the resolution but nothing else that is meant to come with UHD.

If you use a UHD blu-ray player to still watch anything then no but I haven't watch a DVD let alone a Blu-Ray disc in prolly 6 years already. All new Netflix shows are comming out in 4k and there's already a few music videos and live videos on Youtube that's 4k. Also the TV will have x265 he-aac so great quality at incredibly small size. No need to transcode anything.

4k was only standardised earlier this year. Check to see if the Samsung meets that
