Hope the thing it under 200 pounds,more than that,the thing it still to heavy of a design as of a LED tv .More the same as those old projection tvs as pounds for inches for of screen wide inches,if the thing is 200 pounds plus.Moving the thing to another location or different residents will be more than a choir.

I still have a Panasonic I bought in 1987 that is still working like when I bought it.People have to be crazy to spend that much on a TV.Maybe because I'm not a couch potato watching it every day that's why it is still working.

Same here. I only watch DVD's, Games and once in awhile especial programs. My life is very busy & not in-front of a TV.

BD's hold the 4K tech capabilities since they were invented. This is just a push so BD's can take over the regular DVD's
