I quickly checked the specs on LG's site, it has 10 bit colour. You mayyyyy get HDR on that monitor. I have no idea how you would activate it, on my Sammy I had to enable UHD Colour on every input I wanted HDR on. And it won't be the Premium HDR that the really expensive sets are getting. But I would look up if there's any firmware updates for your monitor.

Either way, congrats on the purchase. Looking at the specs and LG's site, that looks like one terrific gaming monitor. I know you said you don't care for HDR, but it's worth investigating if it's available on yours.

Nice! I'll check it out. "Don't care" was probably too strong. I just prefer monitors and since there aren't any HDR monitors, my interest isn't completely there.

OK, getting close to pulling the trigger on the KS8000. Anyone think the Vizio P Series is a better way to go? I keep going back and forth. For example, Giant Bomb just purchased the Vizio, and I would like to think Drew or someone on staff would have had to choose between the two.
I'm going 65", and this will replace a 65" Panasonic plasma from 2010.

Had that same vizio P Series and returned it. Too many limitations. First, it only has 1 HDMI port that has low input lag which is HDMI port 5 and that port doesn't support HDR. Ports 1-4 do support HDR but then input lag becomes unbearable and high. Also, out the box the tv doesn't support HDR 10 which is the standard and used by both Xbox and PS4. Vizio sent the update over the air but it was bad and having issues. I ended up returning it and getting the ks8000. The Vizio looks good for movies in dark rooms, but the picture on the ks8000 a lot better and it's great for gaming.

Thanks for the input fellas. The 65 KS8000 was in my Amazon cart, and went from 1697 to 1522 while I was on here. Jumped on it. Not bad in my opinion, as I believe I'm as future proofed as I can be at this point.

Good job

If people do, that's their way to spend their money on it but there is nothing about this system from what I know about technology and have seen in action/read that would make me upgrade my PS4 to a Pro.

That is you.

For a lot of people, the jump from 1080p to 4k is HUGE.

Your comments are somewhat naive. People upgrade their GPU on their PC all the time simply for better graphics. So, the empirical proof that people DO want better graphics is already there.

Yes and if you were jumping from 1080p to 4K without cutting corners or losing effects I'd agree.

Like I've said before though, it's their money so if they think it's worth it - good for them.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Haven't a lot of pro tech people said that the end result of the checkerboarding is surprisingly close to the real thing?

I mean I know there is no point for me to even try. People have made up their minds on the Pro either way, with or without trying it themselves

I don't think anyone can definitely say the upgrade is or isn't worth it for anyone else. Way too subjective

That's a great price! I paid $2000 plus tax for mine. It went down to $1800 before my return period so I went to BB and got them to credit me $200.

I'd like to know what corners were cut on NBA2k17 on the pro running native 4K with HDR? I'm very observant and so far I haven't seen it.

FYI. For people on a lean budget but wanting to get into 4k and HDR I bought an LG 50inch from best buy for $399 and it is working great so far. I'm sure it is not as good as the $1600 Samsung and Sony but it really delivers for me. I haven't seen HDR on one the super high end screens but this one is great for the price.

That tv is just 4K. Not 4K HDR.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Guys UBER has a point. He said is not for him and not saying others cant be happy but is true that corners were cut to get 4K which is for the most part never going to be native for new games that are not linear

Checkerboard is just a fancy word for we cant do 4K native so we throw a band aid on it

Checkerboard just uses a tech that makes the resolution resemble 4K at the cost of losing shaders which is why the image at 4K is soft in many games that are upscaled to 4K.From a distance is not apparent but the corners were cut as this is not a 4K console.

Having said that the console is priced perfect for what is offering and is a huge upgrade to vanilla ps4 with 4K HDR tvs

That is FACT

Most people reviewing and talking about the shortcomings are basing it on 30 or so patched old games

No game yet has been made with the PRO in mind

I dont want to download patches for my games on the PRO

Going forward all games will be made with PRO as lead console and will have in game settings or 1080p owners or a simple downscale which helps the image on 1080p a bit but right now at the cost of performances

That will be sorted out

I would not buy a 4K tv for 300 or 400 dollars

I rather use that money on a super nice monitor which will blow away 4K sets that are going for 300 to 400

If you do not want to break the bank then the one Sbauer posteed is excellent for PS4 PRo and XB1 S

It is HDR. It's a $699 TV that was a black Friday special. How can you say it's not HDR? I had to enable the deep color feature on the hdmi port and now the ps4 sees it as such and does go into hdr as indicated. Is it as good as $1600 samsung? I'm sure it's not but it looks pretty spectacular to me.

Again, this is not simulated hdr. It's legit. But it is probably not as good as the high end tvs.

I did my research and only bought this once I confirmed the HDR was HDR 10 compatible.
