    Is 4k worth it. The difference is about $200

    I was reading about the Samsung panel lottery issue where you dont know who the manufacturer is. Does anyone know who makes the ED02 version panel sold by Sams Club? Cant seem to find it anywhere. The model is the Samsung UN55ju640d 4k set. Thanks

    Is 4k worth it. The difference is about $200

    What is the main benefit of the 120/240 for an additional 300-400? I mean if money was no object then sure. I hear very good reviews for all those I mentioned.

    How many Dish channels are 1080P ? NOV 2015

    Im sitting 9 feet away so I guess 1080P should be fine. As I understand it, unless you are 2-3 feet away, the naked eye cant see the difference and since I wear glasses, probably so.

    Is 4k worth it. The difference is about $200

    Im considering the Samsung JS7000 SUHD in 50" ($799) or the Samsung J6300 in 55" or 50" ($699/ $629) (although I hear the 50 has inferior outsourced panels). All are 60 hz 120 motion rate sets .

    Is 4k worth it. The difference is about $200

    The problem is the refresh rate. The affordable 4ks are 60mz or 120 motion for Samsung. If you want 120 mz or 240 motion rate, you have to pay 500 more. The salesmen told me if I was going to get (afford) a 60 mz then I should go with a 1080p cause it will handle the less pixels better than a...

    How many Dish channels are 1080P ? NOV 2015

    So than 4k is a total joke if theres not even any 1080p right? I mean like HDTV has been out 10 yrs or so and still no 1080P. Wow, Im shocked! Forget 4k then.

    Is 4k worth it. The difference is about $200

    Is 4k worth it for $200-$250 more than a 1080P or will it be obsolete? I just dont see this catching on since bandwidth is at a premium but I could be wrong. Thanks much. BP

    How many Dish channels are 1080P ? NOV 2015

    Anyone know how many 1080p channels are available on Dish? Im in the market for a new TV and trying to decide between 4k and 1080p. My thinking is there is not much content anywhere including OTA of 1080P let alone 4k. I think 4k is 5 yrs away from being mainstream, I mean we cant even get much...

    Old time Dishnetwork customer coming back ?

    I am thinking about returning back to dishnetwork. I had them for over 11 years before switching to Direct tv the last 3. Cost is the primary reason. Direct tv is way more expensive.

    OTA tuner for 722 vs 722k

    Can someone explain what "sling" is? I called dish and they said my locals are only avail. in sd for now so Id need an antenna to do it but could cut the price 50% off direct tv. How did you lease a 722k when dish is not offering that?

    Wonder if dish reads these posts?

    I wonder if dish reads any of these posts? Are they aware of the amount of negative posts and customer issues or are they in neverland? I find it hard to believe they are so out of touch with customer experiences. Youd think they would have someone monitor these posts so they could improve...

    OK dont hold me to this but a very good source told me that NFL network (who just won the rights to next years Thurs and Sat. NFL package) might be selling their rights to OLN who was bidding feverishly for this NFL package last week before NFL Network wound up buying their own product. I am...
