    Hi Richersounds Team

    What are the best options for a 60' Screen @ the moment? Cant stretch to 65' for space reasons as much as i'd love to, there seems to me much more choice @ 65 though.

    10 Bit Panel is important
    "Smart" features and sound arent, i'll be running this through an AV Amp. Wifi would be nice for firmware updates but not a deal breaker.
    Cost would be important also, looking for good value here.

    Side Question:

    Is there a way of telling if a HDMI cable is 4k capable other then connecting it to a source? I buried some very beefy "Monster" type cables behind the wall about 8 years ago, they were expensive but i guess that doesn't count for much when the technology changes. Replacing them would be a major pain...

    Thanks!

    Hey PMPON.

    Thanks for the post.

    Very very few 60" screens on the market unfortunately.

    8 bit screens reproduce 16.8 million colours. 10 bit screens vastly increase the colour count to 1 billion colours. FRC (Frame Rate Control) uses cyclic algorithms to offer 10 bit performance from an 8 bit panel



    There is really only the LG 60SJ850 priced at £1499.00 - Is 10 bit but rated as (8bit+FCR)

    Panasonic make a 58".
    Panasonic TX58EX750 priced at £1449.00 - Again 10Bit (8Bit+FCR)

    You could drop to 55" and get a much much much bigger range as the 65" does not fit.

    Let me know your thoughts.
