Seiki SE50UY04 50" Class 4K Ultra HD 120Hz LED TV

Pros: This TV becomes and excellent pc monitor for those who are willing to put the time in to setting it up.

Cons: For anyone less than an expert this TV is far more hassle than it is worth and will look worse than a similarly priced 1080p TV from a regular brand.

Overall Review: The Seiki SE50UY04 is a poor quality TV that has the hidden feature of being an amazing monitor for someone who knows how to unlock its potential. The monitor comes poorly calibrated, and does a average job of upscaling content from 1080p to 4k. However with the right equipment and some knowhow you can reach a decent calibration using the TV's service menu and you can use a software upscaler to achieve a very good looking picture for video. The true talent of this monitor comes in its hidden ability to accept a true 120hz signal from a PC at 1080p which results in some of the smoothest gaming you will ever experience. Additionally the 120hz input allows you to use nVidia 3d if you have the kit. When used as a desktop monitor from about 3-4 feet away, the 4k resolution is breathtaking and slightly overwhelming as you may lose track of where windows are (or your cursor). Gaming in 4k suffers from input lag due to the 30hz refresh rate, but still looks smooth. This TV is best suited for MMOs, and other slow mousing games in 4k, and 120hz@1080p for fast mousing games like RTS and shooters. The sound quality is laughable and unredeemable, but there is an optical out and a 3.5mm out from the TV to redirect the sound to something good. Overall this monitor has proved to be exceptionally hard to set up correctly, but very rewarding now that I have done so.

Pros: - Great PC Monitor for Gaming - Not "Smart" (unless you like that kind of thing) - Not 3D (unless you like bleeding out your eyes) - Super simple to use and setup - no gimmicks - Thin bezel and thin depth! (I swear its like 2 inches deep and has 3/4 inch bezels) - Comes with a 6ft HDMI cable! - Wall mountable and has a Glass stand included

Cons: - Flimsy. When I pull plugs in the back out, it causes the TV to wobble. Not exactly comforting. - Speakers are junk. 8W barely pushes anything. No surprise. So make sure to plug up your favorite 2.1/5.1 surround sound. - Remote only works from about 8 feet away - Power/AC cord doesn't have the Third(ground) plug. Its just 2 prongs. - VGA port? It would have been nice if this were a DVI port. - Black levels are not great. So dark colors tend to blend together. - For gaming you get +60Hz at 1920x1080 and ~30Hz at 3840x2160. Not that great. But I've heard you can push it to +40Hz with newer GPUs like the R9 290X or 780 Ti.

Overall Review: OK. So this 4K TV is one of the cheapest 4K televisions out there. And there isn't much 4K content to boot. But, I'm just using it to watch Blu Ray movies (which look fantastic on it) and to play Battlefield 4 and other PC games through my Rig on it. I plan on buying a new GPU to get a better view soon, because this TV works amazing as a PC Monitor. Be cautious of what you're looking for. This TV doesn't have the best picture or sound, but it is a great value for a simple TV and huge Monitor. I've never heard of Seiki before, but they won me over with this TV. Besides, I would never pay $5K for name brand 4K. EVER.

Pros: 4k, very cheap, really nice picture, serves as a decent monitor. 120hz mode 1080p works great for games, but I did have to install a modded firmware(an easy process btw) to utilize it.

Cons: 30hz, if you wanna use this for a monitor that is very very hard to get used too. But if you can, it makes for so much screen space it's ridiculous. Also the stock firmware is pretty bad, but there are modded ones that are better.

Overall Review: For this price the color is impressive. Looks much better than a TN panel. Unless you have a high dollar IPS panel, this thing will hold its own next to your other monitors.

Pros: This TV is fantastic for the size and price. If your looking for a solid 4K TV or even a solid 4k Monitor you really can't go wrong here.

Cons: The only downside (if you can call it that) is the horrible built in speakers, but really you should just expect that of an LCD TV.

Pros: -Size -Picture Quality -Refresh Rate -After Calibration Tv just got even better

Cons: -not getting this tv earlier -cant find a proper remote code for my cable box

Overall Review: great TV for the price paid only 450$ for it great deal, read a lot of people on here complaining about the sound and everything about the sound but works perfectly for me and i only have the volume set at 7 with surround mode on, works great with the HTPC and the 120HZ as my fios cable box only pushes 60hz, overall 5 stars

Pros: Colors pop out at you Clarity is unreal Awesome price Aesthetically pleasing True 120Hz 1080P Comes with what seems to be a pretty decent HDMI cable. 3D capable at 1080P

Cons: Terrible stand. Plan on using a mount. Speakers aren't that great, but not horrible either. Nothing more or less than you would expect from any other flat screen. Remote leaves a lot to be desired, but I only use it to turn it on and off. Does that well. Backlight is pretty even overall, however it is a tad darker on the left and right sides than the rest of the screen. Very hard to notice unless you're looking at a lot of white screen. Will be not be compatible with future 4k players when it is finally standardized, but I am not taking an egg off for this because the same goes for the other sets that cost 10 times more. You will still be able to game, stream, and work @ 4k.I didn't buy this to watch movies on anyway. If this set wasn't so well priced, I would have taken an egg off; however, I basically stole this thing and I would have gladly paid double for what I received.

Overall Review: My mind was blown when I took this thing out of the box and hooked it up to my computer. I haven't even calibrated it yet and it rivals my calibrated Asus MX299Q 29" ultra-wide AH-IPS display. The colors are so vibrant. It's like looking out of a clean window. I am not an expert when it comes to displays but I have worked with many displays over the years and I know good color output and accuracy when I see it. I cannot wait to get this thing calibrated correctly, but out of the box, it's still breath-taking. I bought a Gyration air mouse and wireless keyboard to go along with this. They work really well with this display in my living room. Google Earth is a blast with the air mouse. If you are using integrated graphics make sure you adjust the resolution through your graphics driver to output at 30hz, or you will have loss of signal issues. I paid $499 for this set, but the next day it dropped to $450. Newegg gave me a $50 gift card. I can't believe I paid $450 for this beast. Best $450 I've ever spent on technology as far as bang for the buck goes. I can't stop looking at it and can't say enough about it. Buy one now, you can't go wrong.

Pros: Everything advertised. If your looking for a computer monitor and your system can drive it, this is the most amazing display to date. I use this with my 2012 Mac Mini and the Accel active converter to get the max resolution (4k). Images are stunning after some calibration which is needed for any display. I sit 3' feet from this display all day without strain, detail is stunning.

Cons: We always want more, like HDMI 2 and 60Hz, but since those are not available one has to be realistic. The issue people mention with the cursor or scrolling is only a problem until you retrain yourself. Don't use a mouse, you will go insane, get a track pad.

Overall Review: Will probably buy another when the price dips again for my other system. ;)

Pros: Has very good picture.

Cons: very bad sound. needs sound bar for good experience

Overall Review: needs optical output
