Earlier this year we published a ranking of the best 10 BEST TELEVISION LED / LCD 2014 . In this classification, initially published by the website tv.toptenreviews.com, we listed the ones that were the best TVs under 1,500 euros in the first quarter of 2014.
The ranking excluded 4K TVs is because of the cheap price "human" (LG 84LM960V is on sale at 25,000 Euros!) that content available for the few (only a few products on the market are capable of recording in 4K).
A few months later, we think it's time to talk about 4k Ultra HD , first trying to figure out what it is and then to list the ones that are the best televisions that use this technology.

Much easier then create panels to 3,840 x 2,160 pixels.
Sony decides to use for its products by 3840 pixels both acronyms 4k Ultra HD . And apparently, all the other companies are adopting the same expression, interchanging the letters and UltraHD 4k depending on the circumstances.
It should now buy a 4K UHD?
As often happens, the producers of televisions repackage futuristic hardware without considering the limited availability of playable content. In fact, there are even television stations that broadcast in 4K, and there are very few movies youtube video and recording devices in Ultra Hd still cost a bit too high. Ultimately, now buy a 4K TV from a few thousand euro, there would fully exploit its full potential.
