so I own the Vizio and could probably sell it for about 700 bucks which would allow me to afford the new 4k tv. My question is which will have the better picture overall. Obviously the 4k tv will have better resolution but what about color and refresh rate. The vizio packs a seemingly useless 480hz refresh rate while the 4k tv packs 120hz. Will this matter much if at all? Basically what would you do. Keep the 55 inch 3d tv or get the 50 inch 4k tv.

the tv industry is such a sham... so off the top of my head, I beleive the "480hz" is really a 120hz tv that is interpollated to a fake 480hz.
in the exact same regard, the seiki is really a 30hz tv that is interpollated to a fake 120oz. I'm not the TV expert, but that will get you started on google. I'm also certain about the seiki's.

that's why nobody is buying them for PC gaming despite how cheap they are... they can only do 30 frames per second (30hz)...and that's just not enough for gaming.

My answer, get neither! one is trumped up with fake features you cant use, and the other has a resolution so high that nothing can actually output to it. (unless you have a PC connected to it with a monster GPU)

So, the Seiki is not actually 4K. It's 2K "upscaled" to 4K, whatever that means.

The Vizio could be promising, but that depends on the true refresh rate. If it's 60 Hz, it's not worth $1,500. But it might be if it is actually a true 120 Hz @ 1080p. That's pretty amazing for a TV. My Sony Bravia boasts 240 Hz, but it's really just 60 Hz. It actually has amazing color fidelity, which is the reason I got it. But don't completely disregard the TVs just because the claims are sketchy. You just have to accept that and read through them. The problem is that obtaining the true information (i.e. what the real refresh rate is) turns out to be difficult to come by. Start diggin, man.
