Samsung's 55-inch 4K TV to Cost £4K in UK
Poetic. Poetic and expensive.
Ultra HD TVs, also referred to as UHD TVs or 4K TVs, were huge at CES. Each booth we visited seemed to have bigger TVs than the last. Samsung just recently launched an 85-inch 4K TV in the United Kingdom. The S9 costs a whopping £35,000. Still, it looks like Samsung is keen to cater to living rooms of all sizes, as it's just announced two more 4K TVs for the UK.
Samsung on Tuesday announced that its UHD F9000 TV is now available to purchase in the United Kingdom. Though the UHD F9000 is considerably smaller than the S9, you'll still want some serious cash on hand to jump on this trend. The 55-inch model is priced at £3999.99. If a 55-inch TV seems a little on the dinky side for you, you can always drop an extra two grand on the 65-inch model, which is priced at £5999.99.
Featuring quad-core CPUs, 70 W Speaker output and DTS Premium Sound 5.1 capability, the TVs also pack Samsung's own Smart Evolution technology, which the company claims makes them 'Future Ready.' There's Samsung's built-in S Recommendation with voice interaction, and the company's Micro Dimming technology, which promises deeper blacks and more vivid colors.
No word on which retailers will be offering these beauties, but we'll keep you posted.

Indeed, without content, what's the point? Heck, atm there are hardly any free
normal HD channels here, never mind 4K.

I may have to wait a bit before this happens, but considering how quickly the prices have dropped since their introduction last November, I can't imagine that it will take more than a few years. I'll have to wait a few years before single GPUs can properly drive 4K displays above 30fps anyways, so I suppose I can sit back and wait patiently.
So in the UK, the 4K channel I can tune into is what exactly??
My point is that we don't even have a decent HD service yet, never mind 4K.
Ian.
seems today, to use 4k take $8k computer. wait some time for signal.

I simply want a 4K TV, no need for any "smart features", no need for fancy CPU's nor make believe DTS 5.1 audio. (NO TV speakers will ever sound like a real set of speakers)
Take off this absurd extra "gadgets" and watch the prices come down closer to earth.
You're right about no standard content- unless you have 4 Titans laying around
I know i aint buyin one till i pay a similar price that i paid for my full HD tv, 400 Bucks.
4K Tellies NEED to be BIG. Our eyes are just not good enough to pick up the details otherwise.
