Among the best, the real question is whether or not that's the actual response time. A lot of the times manufacturers brag about fake specs to boost sales.

i wouldn't trust a single spec from that thing. 4K resolution but only accepts 1080p signals? dot pitch that's not even square (0.08x0.24)? and that cheap?

Response time is more of a marketing trick than anything. Refresh rate is what matters most.

yes thanks Suzuki, i thought it was fast too. I'm not really sure that tv is so cheap for 4k I also really struggle to believe it is truly 60hz when it also runs at 60hz for 1080 resolution (not 120hz or something).

thanks guys I was having doubts too - thanks for cementing them!!

Too many red flags. List a place you're buying from and we'll find something better for you.

Cheers, I am currently using an old 42" samsung plasma which quite honestly is still going strong.

I am considering going a bit bigger ~48"-55" and 4k but only if it has HDMI 2.0 (which is often hard to find out).

HDMI 2.0a not HDMI 2.0. If you're referring to blu ray. For PC it's just 2.0, but gotta make sure the TV can do 444 chroma which is unlikely.

hi suzuki just a quick question, i read that the samsung hdmi 2.0 were updated to hdmi 2.0a with a firmware update, does that sound right or would they need different hardware?

That's possible, I know they only did that to 2015 models, and they never confirmed officially that was thye case with all the 2015 models of various brands. They sort of left us guessing, probably because they're implementing it in newer models and want people to pay a premium, wouldn't surprise me. The HDR compatible TV's are going to sky rocket as soon as 4kUHD blu rays get released to consumers.
