Lowest price it's ever been at. Usually between now and superbowl is when the real good tv deals start as the newer models come out in March.

CES 2013: 4K, UHD, and the Future of High-Def
Ultra high-definition is shaping up to be the biggest thing in the HDTV industry, with a handful of models either already available or coming in the next year and every major HDTV manufacturer working on a UHD product.

High definition is shaping up to be a thing of the past. Say hello to ultra high-definition television, or UHDTV. At 3,840 by 2,160 pixels, UHD screens have four times the resolution of 1080p HDTVs. You might have also heard these screens called 4K, and, while UHD is shaping up to be the most used term, both UHD and 4K are acceptable and interchangeable. At CES, every HDTV manufacturer showed that they're working on UHD/4K screens.
I looked at 4K HDTVs from everyone from Sony to Vizio, and, while we're months from getting them into the PCMag labs to test, I can say that the screens do indeed look sharp. While the 4K screens on display were mostly larger than all but the biggest 1080p HDTVs on the market, the difference between the two types was comparable to the difference between the iPad 2 and an iPad with Retina display. Sony's booth showed newspapers on a 4K and a 1080p screen, and the tiny text was not only legible but crisp on the 4K screen. While it's not the same technology, you can see a similar comparison in my look at the iPad 2 and new iPad.
Sony and LG stand at the forefront of UHD, with screens closest to the market. Both companies have been offering UHDTVs for several months, albeit with special orders at very high price tags. Sony's 84-inch 4K HDTV costs $25,000, and comes with a media server filled with ten UHD movies. This is important, because there isn't a standard UHD media yet; everything shown on the multiple UHDTVs at CES was either upscaled or streamed from a computer with special 4K content. LG's 84-inch UHDTV is a little cheaper at $20,000, but it's still a hefty price for early adopters.
The media issue is something several companies are trying to work out. Samsung had several UHDTVs on display at its booth, including one that demonstrated 4K content streamed over Netflix. This content is very bandwidth-intensive, but between Netflix working on the technology and Youtube offering limited 4K media, digital distribution of such massive video could be the main method of accessing it. My tour of Vizio's showroom showed similar possibilities. The representative demonstrated 4K footage played from a local media server, but he noted that compression techniques are being developed to help ease the pressure on Internet connections streaming ultra high-definition video.
