Ok so maybe the word “just” isn’t quite right when we are talking about something that costs $2,000. Yet with models from Sony’s flagship range costing in excess of $5,000 the new 4K ready smart TV from Hisense sounds like a pretty good deal.
It was only a few days ago that we bought you news of the even more budget friendly Seiki 55″ 4K TV for only $1,500, but that TV didn’t pack anywhere near as many features as the Hisense. It certainly looks like manufacturers are keen to get their models out in time for Christmas to capitalise on the sales and impulse buys over the holiday season.
The T880 55-inch 4K Smart TV from Hisense packs a solid feature range that includes built-in WiFi, smart TV apps such as Netflix and YouTube, a 178 degree viewing angle and of course an impressive Ultra HDTV 4K display panel.
The set will be available at Walmart and Costco, although we are not certain if it will be available in all of their retail outlets.
Are you saving up for a 4K panel, or do you still think the technology is too expensive?
Thank you Engadget for providing us with this information.
What the hell for? I’ve got better things to waste my money on. I remember 1080 HD TV’s used to be similarly priced. I bought my HD TV about 2 years ago for a mere fraction of that price with far better specs and I’ll do the same with 4K. There’s no rush as far as I’m concerned..
