Very inexpensive for a 4K HDTV. Bright panel.

Skewed colors. Poor shadow details. Little 4K content available.

Still in its infancy, 4K has a long way to go. And while the Seiki SE50UY04's $1,500 price tag makes it at least feasible to purchase, there isn't enough 4K content to justify it yet. It's a decent screen that gets satisfyingly bright and dark, but...

unit works as far as I can tell. draws the advertised power (a big lie on many devices)

HDMI doesn't transmit sound. I've been told that might be a flaw in HDMI cables but I would like to find at least -one device that does this properly. My Macbook Pro does not work with it over a very short, very good HDMI cable. So, it might be Apple,...

Exceptionally sharp picture

only 30 hz refresh at full res Contrast is a bit poor.

Sparkling clear HDTV quality. I'm using this as the central connect point for 3 computers and HD cable. All graphics cards/OS on all computers recognized the monitor and adjusted resolution automatically, Linux Mint, Windows 10, Ubuntu Linux, PC-BSD...

Internal speakers are tinny laptop quality. Use a receiver or external powered speakers. No big deal. 30K resolution does affect the mouse granularity. But for these 62 year old eyes it's too small anyway so I adjusted the resolution to 60hz 1080p for...

Cheap

- Not HDCP 2.2 compliant which means it can't stream 4k content. - The picture quality presets are awful (quality worse than my 1080p) and I can't get it adjusted to look decent manually either. Seiki told someone: "Unfortunately, the SE39UY04 was...

- Good picture quality - OK features

- Sound quality from builtin speakers is abysmal. - Menu is just OK, navigatiing the settings can be difficult - 120Hz is misleading and Newegg should change that pronto. It can only do 120 on 1080p HD, for 4K playback it's only 30Hz - NOT RECOMMENDED...

I actually purchased a second one of these after testing out the first one delivered in only two days! I am using these as PC Monitors. I use 4K @ 30Hz for regular work and 1080P @ 120Hz for all else. Unlike a comment about a cheap flimsy stand, I...

I wish I could have nothing to say here, but I am a fairly picky guy when it comes to my purchases. The first unit's pilot light was a little recessed on the right side (minor defect) (like I said, picky). Since there were no more cosmetic or...

Inexpensive 4K copmuter monitor

I wish the screen didn't time out and just went to sleep. That's the worst of it.

Does support 4k resolution very clearly. Is possible to run up to 244hz refresh rate. Inexpensive.

At 4k resolution only runs at 30Hz refresh rate. At 4k video and audio were out of sync. Only supports higher refresh rates at lower resolutions with modifications to the firmware and adjusting setting on computer. Seiki removed firmware updates from...

The TV seems well made, and was easy to set up. We have used it successfully for television viewing, and streaming video. It replaced an older HD TV, and is noticeably better - when it works.

About once a week, without any action on our part, the TV suddenly switches to standby mode, shutting off whatever we are viewing. The first time it happened, we didn't know what to do, and we tried simply pressing the power button on the remote. It...
