LOL, if I spent $100K on a TV, that would mean I'd be "TRULY RICH"!!! Didn't I make it clear that I was not?!? I can't even afford a millionaire's home!
Yeah, it's a projector. Viewsonic 3D-capable projector that supports 3D Blu-ray movies (and Nvidia 3DVision). It has a 1:1 1080p pixel output that is so sharp that I can clearly see the individual pixels from several feet away. The black levels aren't perfectly black like with an OLED, let alone a VA screen, but isn't much worse than an IPS or a TN LCD screen. The contrast ratio is almost just as good at Regal or Cinemax cinemas theater - it's not much different, really. If I painted my walls black (for zero reflection), then it would probably be identical, LOL.
As I got used to it, it doesn't feel that "WOW" anymore. Like when I just upgraded from say, 32" to 65" several years ago, I felt "WOW" for a while, and then got used to it. So it's all relative, I guess. That's why rich people (not that I'm rich) aren't much happier than poor people.
WOW - a true 120Hz panel!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing this model to me - I'm reading the reviews on this now and seeing if it's worth buying before the summer vacation! We plan on going to FL for 3 weeks, and camping for at least 2 weeks (hopefully 3 weeks as well).
I can't believe that there's finally a big-screen TV that is actually handling true 120Hz!!!

Well, HDR does seem to be a safe bet, if one plans on keeping that 4K TV for the next few years. I know it might be half-assed for now, but it still does seem promising, nonetheless, and more practical than say, using 3D glasses or watching fake 120Hz interpolated frames.
Hey SickBeast,
I didn't mean to gloat at you - just that when I take my family to my parents' house, and watch a tv show or a movie there on their 55" TV, it does seem too small for us to enjoy. I mean, painfully small in a medium-sized living room that's maybe 18 feet long. I guess we're just used to a bigger screen..
But you want a 4K TV, yet at the same 55" size... man, I'd recommend 70" as the bare minimum for 4K in a medium-size living room, even if viewing from only 12 feet away or so.
That was the main thing Rollo had against 4K TV's, in that 1080p looked good enough for his 60" tucked away in a corner.
It might cost a lot more $$, but trust me, bro - at least 70" is a much more comfortable size for the living room, and you'll not regret it at all.
That's the real reason Rollo's buying a new house. He just has to beat me!!!
If prices are the same next month as this month, I'll probably be buying a 65", 4K, no HDR and looking for a true 120Hz panel. (like the XBR65810C)
I'm not competing with anyone on the house. Stayed with "either wife or I can afford" model to maximize economic security.
Don't want to end up like this guy if one of us can't work:
