Seiki TV 32 Inch 1080p: A Comparison with Other Brands and Models



The UMT Series is available in sizes ranging from 40 to 65 inches, badged SE40UMT, SE50UMT, SE55UMT, and SE65UMT, respectively. This is Seiki's "smart" line of 4K/UHD TVs for 2016. Other than screen size, the four TVs in the UMT series are basically identical in features and expected performance.


Seiki's FYT (or HYT) Series marks the company's smart/connected 720p (HD) or 1080p (Full HD) LED TVs for 2016. The series consists of four Full HD and one HD model, in sizes ranging from 32 inches to 65 inches (SE32HYT, SE40FYT, SE42FYT, SE55FYT, SE65FYT). Other than their differing screen size, and the smallest model offering lower resolution, the FYT/HYT TVs are identical.

Two years ago, Seiki challenged major display manufacturers like Sony and LG when it introduced a 50-inch Ultra HD television for only $1500 at a time when the competition was asking $5000 for pretty much the same thing. Of course, it was a bare-bones TV without any connectivity features or even 60 Hz operation, but many consumers put them in their living rooms and some users even pressed them into service as computer monitors.


Seiki now markets Ultra HD TVs in 40-, 50-, 55- and 65-inch sizes, and all will incorporate Muse by the second quarter of 2015. Muse is also being added to Seiki's HD line in 32-, 40-, 42-, 50-, 55- and 65-inch sizes in Q1. The Ultra HD models will come with HDMI 2.0 connections for full 60 Hz support at a resolution of 3840 x 2160. Networking is possible either through a wired Ethernet jack or built-in WiFi.


To tell you the truth, I didn't know what I was going to do with a 39-inch, 4K display, until days into using it. I did my unboxing video, and then I tried using it as my everyday display, but it is just too damn big. I found myself not using the desktop real estate as much as I wanted, and then I began having issues with the panel.


The way I can explain it, without you physically seeing it to understand, is to compare a DVD to a Blu-ray. If you've only seen DVD, the day you jump from DVD to 1080p, is the day you realize there is something better out there.


Downscaling - If this panel could do better downscaling to 1080p at 60FPS, it would be just too dominant. This is one poor aspect of the panel: Every resolution, but 3840x2160, looks terrible. It's not too bad in games, if you're sitting further away, but at arm's reach, it's horrible.


Sure, a big brand set might aesthetically look better, and might win more praise for its better image quality, but that's what you get when you pay 3x, 4x, or even 6x more than what this panel costs. ASUS is charging over $3000 for its 31.5-inch 4K panel, but do we get the same increase in quality (picture quality, response time, etc) as we do in price? No, no we don't.


The Seiki 55" 4K Ultra HD LED TV is a Direct-lit LCD TV. Direct backlighting (Full-array) means there are LEDs placed all over behind a TV's LCD panel. Screen size is measured in inches, diagonally from corner to corner. A refresh rate is a measure of how often a TV changes the picture. The higher the refresh rate, the more pictures are displayed per second. Television aspect ratio refers to the screens width compared to its height.


If you're looking for a smaller TV, we've gathered the best sales on TVs that are 30 inches and up, such as Seiki's 32-inch LED HDTV(Opens in a new tab), which is priced at less than $90, while TCL's 43-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV(Opens in a new tab) is going for $349.99. It even comes with a built-in Roku, so you don't have to worry about getting an add-on to access movies and TV shows on Netflix, HBO Now, and Hulu Plus.


In addition, Sceptre's 55-inch 4K LED TV(Opens in a new tab) is on sale for $279.99, while Samsung's Curved 55-Inch 4K Smart LED TV(Opens in a new tab) is going for $851.99. Walmart has VIZIO's 65-inch 4K Smart XLED Home Theater Display(Opens in a new tab) on sale for $949.99, while Amazon has a 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart TV from LG(Opens in a new tab) priced at $804.88, or 33% off its retail price of $1,199.99.


LG also has a massive 77-inch 4K Ultra HD Smart OLED TV(Opens in a new tab) on sale for $7,996.99, while the South Korean tech company has another gigantic TV, this time it's a 86-inch 4K HDR Smart LED UHD TV(Opens in a new tab) priced at $3,696.99. This is the largest TV on our list, so if you have the space, by all means go big or go home with LG and this amazing deal from Walmart.


I like this tv a lot, I have my computer through it as a monitor since I don't have cable and the picture is amazing at 4k. I had a 1080p Seiki, and I liked that one, this one has better color and contrast, it's brighter and the speakers are louder and clearer. The bezel is thinner by a lot and the stand is minimal on my desk. I can still use my desk around the stand without setting things on the stand. Easy to set up, the menus are sufficient to get you to a good picture which isn't too bad out of the box, but with some tweaking is pretty good.


Just for fun, we've added a whopping 90-inch Sharp Aquos TV. It's price is probably way past the end zone for your wallet at $7,997.00 - but it's still on sale by being $3,000 cheaper than it's original price tag ...


If you'd prefer something in the middle, the Samsung 60-inch 1080p 240Hz 3D Ultra Slim Smart LED HDTV (opens in new tab) seems like the best way to go; it's more on the affordable side at $2,297.99 - 32% off its original price - without sacrificing quality.


Let's face it, not everyone has a nice big house for a giant 75-incher but that doesn't mean you can't have a nice TV. There are plenty of 50-inch and smaller sets that have great quality, and low prices. 2ff7e9595c
