What is the $ cost to upgrade this LC-70 SQ15U .......1080p to 4K ?

There is no upgrade.... This TV will play 4k content. So, if you have a 4k player (which some blue rays now do) then your TV will show it. It is not True 4K though. since a standard 1080p TV has 2 million pixels, each made up of 3 subpixels (Red, Blue, Green), The Sharp Aquas has 4 subpixels (Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow). Meaning standard 1080 has 6 million subpixels and Sharp has 8 million subpixels. The Q+ has split these subpixels into 2, so now it has 16 million instead of 8. A true 4K TV will have 8 million pixels, and therefor 24 million subpixels. Therefor, all in all, This Sharp Q+ has two thirds as many subpixels as a 4k, and more than 2 times the pixels of 1080. Its sort of a halfway point between 1080 and 4k. Almost like a 2k This tv however will up-convert all 1080 and downconvert all 4k to it 16 million subpixel picture. If you want true 4K, you'll have to shell out the extra couple thousand dollars...

thanks for your response.Do you (or anyone with a good understanding of this) think it's worth spending $50 to upgrade from what I currently have?) I purchased the samsung hd monitor and thought the upgrade would provide better video.any thoughts?

Thanks for the reply. I went with the T260HD which was $50 less. When I get the TV I will post how I like it.

Thanks for your response, but what is 1080p content? Are tv shows? THe difference between the two sets is approximately $40.

It's close to half the price of a new 4k and as of right now there's almost no 4k content to watch anyway. Personally I'm not a fan of the 4k picture, it's simply just too bright, and for no good reason. The only one I've watched for an extended period gave me a terrible headache. The 8500 to me is just about perfect.

Gamble, The other BIG difference is that the 65's HDMI inputs actually ACCEPT 1080p vs. being 1080p COMPATIBLE and scaling down to 1080i only to reformat it back to "P" like the 61. Go for the 65...I was in the same boat as you until I found that out reading my Crutchfield catalog. Only makes sense for HD-DVD (now a dead format) and Blu-Ray

Please be careful.. the seller "Big Box Superstore" has a caption stating "Free upgrade to 2015 model.Un60h7150" for $1699 this is misleading since this is not an "upgrade" at all. $2203 is the realistic price for this item. Hope this helps

the newer model has 1080p HD, and looks a lot cheaper. The old one is 720. They updated it 2 weeks after I got mine. still love it 2 years later. even though I have the 720 I don't need an upgrade. hope this helps

no one lying to you that model is 720p i have it also but... it might have a 1080i for blue-rays and other higher broadcast modes.

For those who have the 701 already but are thinging about 702. I'd say don't bother. Not an upgrade, at best your moving laterally. Save up a bit longer make a jump to something lme the Audeze lcd 2. That's a very nice upgrade. Save longer jump to lcd 3 now that's not big its huge. But now your looking at Sennheiser hd 800 territory. Nw were talking true audio bliss.

That is exactly my plan. I am glad you got just what you wanted. I have been watching pricing on 5 or 6 tvs for 6 months or so. The least expensive I have seen the 7000 for is yesterdays $1220 at Amazon. And you got the 8000 for $1000? That is an incredible price! Do you mind my asking where you purchased it? Thanks also for the feedback on the similarity between the 7000 and the 8000. Good luck. Steve

Dear Lance, The UN65H8000 has 1080p upscaling but not 4K upscaling. 4K is higher resolution. Eric C

I do not get 1080P but 720P looks fine. I suspect that you could have gotten away with the LT. I bought it for MLB TV and then discovered PLEX. I use PLEX to stream video from my desktop to my Roku.

This is the First time EVER I have replied to someone posting on these forums. Usually, I enjoy reading and gaining insight on the topic at hand. But, since I have first hand experience I will share what I think you should do. I believe you should order it online from Amazon.com and not from one of the retailers that you can purchase from through amazon, for instance, Datavision, J&R, or Beach Camera. The price difference from bestbuy and amazon.com (Directly Amazon) is too much to ignore. I just ordered the Samsung Lnt4065f for my room for 1499.98 and it arrived on time and with great service. Eagle called me the day before and scheduled a delivery window of two to three hours and brought the tv into my house. They set it up on my tv stand and stayed until the the Lcd Tv was on and in working order. On top of that I was lucky enough to see the price drop on my model twice in a week to 1459.99 then 1409.98. I was fortunate enough to read some of these forums and realize that we could get credited back the difference within thirty days. I called Amazon and they took care of the matter immediately. The first time crediting back $40 then the second time $50. (As a sidenote, since then the Tv I bought has gone back up to 1459.98 with shipping) The price is just insanely GREAT! This same tv that I bought for $1409.98 with white glove delivery (aka bringing the tv into your house and making sure it works so you can decide whether or not you are going to accept or refuse the tv) costs $150- $200 on other websites. If I calculated shipping as $150 then I would have basically paid $1259.98. The set I bought, Samsung Lnt4065f costs 1999.99 without tax at best buy, with tax equating to well over $2100! I would again buy from directly from amazon.com (the company and not another third party vendor using amazon as a storefront) for my future big ticket purchases. I hope this helped.

Spec sheet doesn't specify which version of 4K HDMI Video output/up scaler - probably a question best posed to Sony.

Personally I'd go with the highest resolution you can afford. I'll be paying the extra for the 1080P 32" Aquos since I'll be driving a 1080P HD DVD player signal through it.

Thats almost laughable to consider a 92" tv priced at 4k as too expensive. If you cant afford it the 73" models can be found around 1k now though... I currently am using a 73838, but will be soon upgrading to this 92" and the price for a screen this size is unbeatable. If you really need 92" just wait a couple years and they will drop in price, but in the mean time you will be missing out and IMHO the extra grand or two you will spend now is well worth not having to wait.
