Chief, there should be an official Seiki thread because HOLY CRAP the 65" just hit sub-$1,500 pricing. You should update your Amazon links.

Have any reputable sites done a review of it yet? I remember reading several reviews about the 50" being good-to-great as a monitor, but sub-par at best as a TV. In my opinion 65" is too large for the majority of desks, and is best served as doing double duty as a home theater hub & couch HTPC. If the 65" has the same "TV" issues as the 50", I don't know that it would be worth it as a couch HTPC.Neo wrote:Chief, there should be an official Seiki thread because HOLY CRAP the 65" just hit sub-$1,500 pricing.

For movies, there's no way to feed this display with 24 or 25 fps at 4k resolution to get reasonable frame timing out from the panel. It'll take the frames at the input, happily declare the input mode as the mode in the UI on the display, and then display the frames at 30 fps, frequently doubling a frame to make up the difference.
Other info:
With 4k at 25 fps input (and probably at 24 or 30 input), the backlight flashes at 60 Hz. With 1080p 120 fps input, the backlight flashes at 120 Hz.
This is such an impressively detailed Amazon review.
