Ericandblueboy Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 So I'm thinking about buying a 4K TV. I understand that I need to upgrade my Netflix plan and get a Ultra HD streamer, such as Chromecast Ultra. If I only have 1 4K TV, and the rest are just normal HD TVs with regular Chromecast, can I stream HD to my HDTVs and Ultra HD to the 4K TV?

Ericandblueboy Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 So I went to Best Buy to get a 4K TV. Me: I like to see 65" 4K TVs under $1,000 Saleslady (4 feet tall woman): We don't have any Me: Your website shows 4 SL: Oh, let me check our website (she finds 4, Samsung, LG, Vizio, Hisense) Me: I'd like to see the Samsung and LG SL: They're not on display Me: So I'm supposed to buy a TV sight unseen? SL: You can look at similar models Me: So are all these displays showing 4K content? SL: Yes, the manufacturers wants to show 4K content Me: But there's no 4K content on cable, so I'd like to see how these TVs look when they upconvert HD programming SL: We only have 2 TVs that are showing regular content and they're in the Magnolia room (where they sell really expensive TVs, we go look at one and its price is $3,600) Me: How do the speakers compare between the Samsung and LG SL: They're all terrible Me: Ok, I'll take the Samsung SL: Do you need a service plan Me: No SL: If the TV breaks down, with the service plan, Best Buy would come to your home and fix it, otherwise you'll have to deal with Samsung Me: That's alright SL: You need 4k HDMI cables Me: Why can't I use my existing HDMI cables SL: They would work but the quality would suck Me: Show me your 4k HDMI cables (the cheapest one turns out to be $30). Me: I'll pass on the 4k cables SL: Most people get a new receiver with their new TV, would you like a new receiver? Me: Um....no. This maybe just my bad luck with one salesperson at Best Buy, but I suspect they're mostly clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
