$519.99 right now. I wonder if this washes away everything else that was said in this thread so far :) :).

Not really changes much, since those TVs are pretty bad.
Hopefully the good makes and models will drop in price over the next year.
Personally I'll probably also wait for OLED, but that'll take a few more years.

Are they? I've seen a lot of interest from PC users, as the TV not only has 4K resolution (which is all some people care about) but it will also do 1080p at 120Hz.
It's certainly not a TV I would buy, but it still proves that you can offer 4K resolution at considerably less than $5000.

So if the cost is so cheap, then explain the reason behind Mitsubishi leaving the projector and LCD market. http://www.avnetwork.com/av-technology/0002/mitsubishi-exits-projector-market--slowly/91959
I was hoping to see Laser 4k Projector from Mitsubishi, but it never materialize now. I wonder if this will canned as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glJyEFkmV_0
Panasonic, Sharp, and Sony are all have record losses, so how can these companies survive in the market?
Panasonic has developed a new 4k TV LCD with Display Port and HDMI 2.0 and it is 65". Currently, this is only model with Display Port. http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/TC-L65WT600 (Hopefully, we see more 4k TV's with display Port.)

There was a test of cheap 4K TVs in a german tech magazine just recently, and their conclusion was that a high-end 1080p TV looks better, and the panel had considerable issues still.
I forgot which TV they tested specifically.
Its really the same as buying a $150 1080p TV, you just don't get much for your money.
If the high prices are warranted on the actual brand TVs, probably not entirely, but a 4K TV is not only a better panel, all the processing components also need to be upgraded.
Considering the lack of content and HDMI 2.0 still being rolled out only slowly, there is still plenty time for new models to appear in 2014 and prices to reach more sensible areas.
In any case, if you can really produce a quality 4K TV for such cheap prices and everyone starts buying these cheap brands, Sony/LG/etc will be forced to come down in price as well, so i suppose its good no matter what.
