Best Buy Selling 4K TVs in 700 Stores

[gadgtfreek]

Best Buy Co., beginning May 19, will start selling Sony’s 4K ultra high definition televisions in about 700 Best Buy and Magnolia stores nationwide, according to a company tweet.

4K monitors offer four times the resolution (8.3 million vs. 2.1 million pixels) of a standard HDTV screen. 4K is designed to “upscale” playback of DVDs and Blu-ray Disc content, while Sony and other studios slowly rollout content filmed in 4K.

While initial 4K TVs unveiled at CES in January carried $25,000 price tags, Best Buy is offering units priced from $4,999 for a 55-inch screen.

What are they going to show on it for demo material?

LOL!

Hopefully they get that new Sony box this summer and get it going.

If they don't already, they should have either the player or a demo drive. Haven't been into a BB. Not really interested in the Sonys because of the Edge Backlighting and no HDMI 2.0 for 60 fps at 4K. My 820 was the worst set I have ever owned for flashlighting and light bleed.

Last month I saw a couple models at the Sony store in Vegas. They really do look fantastic.
