Yep, and it is one the strongest reasons I've been given to go pick one up.500$ box to play 16 year games.

It's really not a discussion for this thread, I don't have an issue with Xbox per se, I just don't like the company for reasons other than video games. I was just admitting to a personal bias against them-admitting it rather than trashing them and trying to use facts to back up my dislike. I had fun with my 360 thoughWhy do you want MS to fail?
I'm assuming maybe it's targeting folks like me who have "1st-gen" Xbox Ones and have been contemplating upgrading to a newer, better model?As much as I like the Xbox, I just don't really see the need for the XOX, especially at the price point. I mean here's a breakdown of how it differs from the S
Plus, I'm guessing that there will be just Xbox One games and if you put them in a XOX they just look prettier. Even though I have a a 4K TV, I think the Xbox One looks good enough for a console.

Is there a chart that compares all 3, out of curiosity?I have a first gen Xbox One too, I still see no point in upgrading if I can still play all the same games. I mean is it really going to be that big of a jump to justify the price? I can't see graphics really demanding that much of a premium.
The only thing I'm interested in is backwards capability since I still have several Xbox games that I'd like to play again, but I think I read somewhere where it's only going to be downloadable games? I'm not sure on that though.

I have contemplated getting a more updated model & we recently purchased our first 4K TV, so even at double the price, the X may be more beneficial to me if the S differences are tiny compared to the original model.
From what I've been hearing from gamers in my circle is that they were hoping it would be $399, that indeed seemed to be the sweet spot as someone said above.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolutionCould someone explain how 2160p @ 60Hz equals 4K gaming? Shouldn't it be 3840p like 4K UHD TV's are?

£450 to play 16 years old games.Microsoft is biggest joke ever

A few months before Xmas ? It drops on November 7thThat's not a negative, to be able to play a 16 year back catalogue of excellent games in 4K is awesome!
I suppose you could add smaller dimensions, stack-able and presumably runs cooler to that list. I guess that would matter to some people.
The price point is high, especially in the UK, but I think it would fall pretty fast especially as it launches a few months before Xmas.
I think I'm going to go ahead and order me one of these. I need(want actually, I have a 40" Sony Bravia LCD that's 9 years old now and perfectly fine, I'm tired of waiting for it to break) a 4K tv though, and will have to do a bunch of research.
I kind of want an OLED, but I've read that high end Samsung and Sony LCD's/LED's are comparable in picture to OLEDs, and a quite a bit cheaper. I really want an LG OLED C7p, that's a 55" and supposed to be one of the best gaming TV's around, but that guy is also $2800.
At least I have all summer to figure this out.
Yeah, I've heard a lot of great things about that television. I was looking into that model last year.Well if you can nab a Samsung KS8000 you won't be disappointed with it. It's also a very good gaming TV, as well as other uses.
It's all about the games....we'll see how it does. Switch is $100 less - be interested to see their presentation tomorrow. I've never been on the bandwagon of more power equals better system. Just ask Sega Dreamcast

There's just so much to look at when getting a new television now. I really want UHD and HDR, but I've been reading you have to watch out for "low input lag" on some of them. I've also read OLED can have some of the same screen issues as plasmas used too. I really don't want to spend 3k on a television. If I knew I could get 9+yrs out of it like my current one, then yeah maybe. I've read the life expectancy on OLED tvs is 5 years, so I may look more at 4K LCDs.
I've had great luck with my Bravia, but I've also read they aren't as rock solid as they were 5+ years ago.
I don't know enough about them really, but they can get image burns in the screen like a plasma I know.Wow I need to do some research, things change so fast when it comes to new TV's and technology. So basically, OLED is the new Plasma?
Right now I have a 60" Samsung 3D smart TV that's just shy of being 3 years old, bought it in August 2014. It was a $1400 TV back then. I don't think I would be anywhere in the neighborhood of wanting to spend $2200 though.
A lot of them are still 240hz, but I've noticed a few that had 960hz refresh rate, on Sony models in particular.I'm probably out on a OLED then, I'm pretty anal about turning off the TV when a game is paused, even if I'm only going to be out of the room for 4 minutes, but I still don't like the idea of it happening. I need to find out what a good refresh rate is for a 4K TV, my TV now has 240Hz refresh rate, which was pretty fast when I bought it.

As far as the best LG OLED for gaming, I've seen this one ranked very high on several "best gaming tv 4K hdr" lists. It's the 2016 model, but pretty reasonable at 2k.

Seriously thinking about getting it, in fact I may just add it to my cart so I can ponder it. I think it has that Dolby Vison, not sure about freesync.
Consumer reports has great ratings on it as well.
Sorry for being off topic and derailing this thread. Is there a TV thread?

The problem is a lot of the cheaper ones don't have HDR.LG's OLED's are the best out there hands down. In terms of the One X, 4K content will look better on a 1080p screen than 1080p content does so you will see some slight improvement even if you don't invest in a new TV. Also there are plenty of affordable 4K TV's now if you don't mind going with LCD.
Even better, retailers will probably have a price war to secure sales.
