To all the members here and Mods, my wife gave in and wants me to buy a 4K tv with 3D, if possible, now the problem is which one is a good one to buy. I want to spend under $2,000.00. I currently have a Samsung SmartTV so I know that Samsung Products are great but if anyone has others like LG, I would really like your input. It is much appreciated, thanks guys.

Samsung Sounds good but a little too pricy. Not sure I want to buy a Vizio, I be better off getting an LG then the Vizio. 65" is too big since my living room is small and I'm about 5 feet away from the TV lol. 50" would be good. Sumsung 4k 55' are selling for $1,500.00 with Quad Core and built in Wifi.
 
then this one
Samsung UN55JS8500 55" LED 4K SUHD 240cmr Smart 3D $ 1,199.99 - HDR COMPATIBLE
and this is nice one
LG 55EC9300 55" OLED 1080P 240Hz 3D Smart $ 1,299.99
LG 55UB8500 55" LED 4K UHD 120Hz 3D Smart $ 799.99

Whats the difference between OLED and LED? The LG looks good but is it 4K?

The materials it is made from.

LED is typically silicon-based

OLED is Organic and comes from the materials used being carbon


Here is a good read on the differences and how OLED work.

Consumer Report grades the below has the "recomended"

LG 55EG9100-$2000 - highest rated for the price rate
LG 60UH8500-$1500
Sony Bravia XBR-65X900B-$2000
Samsung UN55JS8500 -$2000
Samsung UN55JS850D $2000

Let me know if you need my log in for Consumer reports website so you can read more about them and also see their specific grade on each feature.

Great choice, Youtube has some 4K videos!! Also Video Addon "Big Buck Bunny" has a test video for all formats including 4K

Picture is very slow on Big Buck. I tried changing my AVOV Settings to 1080 60hz and the picture is screwed up so I have to leave it on 1080 24hz
