The selection of 1080p TVs is getting smaller. We are also seeing name
brand 50inch 4K TVs in the $500-$600 range. These are not high end 4K
models, but off brand el-cheapo 1080p sets are not much cheaper.

I will be in the market for 60inch TV within the next 12 months. It is hard
to put money down on an old tech 1080p set when we all know 4K is coming.
We are unfortunately in a time when future 4K compatibility is not
garaunteed with any new TV.
