Still waiting for my Sony KD-75X8505C. Delivery in Belgium has been postponed to end of July. Although it now appears it might be the first week of July.

I own a 4K upscaling BD player (Panasonic DMP-BDT361). I also ordered the new Sony BDP-S6500. But I own a Yamaha RX-V1067 receiver. I suspect if I passthrough the video signal, it won't be able to pass 4K. But it appears the TV can handle it's own upscaling. In fact, I hope the TV upscaling might be better as that of the players. If I need to replace my receiver, it would require a 1000€ extra I hadn't foreseen...

Congratulations, Chris, and enjoy! 

Thanks for the heads up on the cables. For now, I going to continue with my Yamaha RX-V1067.
As there are no native 4K players yet, I'm going to hold off until the new Yamaha RX-A1050 gets a price drop. Image is great anyway.

I wanted to go for LG as well, but in Europe, all models were updated, except the 75". They are still offering the 2014 model of that size. Makes no sense in my opinion, as it has been developed for other locations.

I haven't jumped to 4K either yet. Waiting for OLED displays to come down in price and to mature a bit more as a technology. Still on an older Panny plasma. I can't stand watching LCD screens: to me their images look very artificial and unnatural, and then there are the washed-out blacks and poor viewing angles.

I know this is something they should provide as part of the installation, but spend the extra money and have the LCD calibrated and all that "artificial, unnatural and washed-out blacks" will go away.

I used calibrated settings from a website. They claim it is indeed TV specific, but if you copy them, in most cases you get up to 95% of the perfect settings. The settings seem to work just fine for me. So I'm not sure if a calibration will make any difference to my eyes.

I'm not talking about just the calibrations you can do, but the tech has the device he attaches to the screen and adjusts each color individually based on your likes and dislikes in the environment and lighting you usually watch in. I don't know if this is still a factor on the new 4K TVs or not.

can a 4K TV play 3D in normal HD Quality with no upscaling?

Can a 4K TV play 2D in normal HD Quality with no upscaling?

Yes, 4K TV have an upscaling for 2D discs to show them as 4K, don't know how this is with 3D films.

If you have ever seen a calibrated OLED screen next to a calibrated LCD screen in proper viewing conditions (i.e. not on a shop floor lit like a torch) you will come to a different conclusion.

Moreover, no calibration can change the inherent limitations of LCD technology, such as terrible viewing angles (compared to either CRT, plasma or OLED), clouding issues displaying bright items on dark backgrounds (due to the necessity of backlighting in LCD)  etc. The same is true for limitations of plasma technology, such as limited maximum brightness and the danger of image retention. It is a question of personal preference which limitations you find the easiest to live with. No current technology is able to display perfect images. OLED is promising, but is still in relative infancy and not quite there yet.

Finally, what looks artificial and unnatural to me, does not necessarily look like that to others. We're all different. Some people are more sensitive to motion judder than others. Etc. etc.
