Samsung and Sony 4K TVs drop $1000 from price tag

According to The Verge and Twice, both Samsung and Sony have cut $1000 off a couple models of their 4K TVs. The Samsung UN55F9000 55" UHDTV will now cost $4500 and the UN65F900 65" UHDTV will cost $6000. Sony on the other hand has lowered the XBR-55X900A 55" UHDTV to $4000 and XBR-65X900A 65" UHDTV to $5500.

Consumer interest hasn't really been picking up yet for UHDTVs, but that's mainly because there's very little content out there that utilizes the screen. Sony has promised to bring about streamable 4K content, but so far we haven't seen much.

Reviews on these 4 models has ranged from decent to good.

Price wise, they're still a lot more expensive than the incoming Seiki brand (which offers 4K HDTVs for under $2000).
