65" Seiki Overclocking

Post by rabidz7 » 28 Apr 2015, 08:06

I am considering getting a 65" Seiki TV, but I will also be using it with a couch gaming PC and therefore do not want to be stuck at 30Hz or 60Hz. I saw in one HardForum thread that like the 39", the 65" Seiki has a capped refresh rate. The 39" Seiki is known to be flashable to the 50" firmware to remove this limit. Can the 65" Seiki be flashed to the 50" firmware to allow overclocking the refresh rate?

The 50" and 39" Seiki TVs are known to take 240Hz input at 720p, 120Hz input at 1080p, 72Hz input at 1440p, and 48Hz at 3200x1800. The maximum refresh rate of 55" and 65" TVs is unknown, but considering that they are known to take 60Hz input at 1080p and 60Hz input at 720p, it isn't much of a stretch to think that they could be pushed further.
