Anime in 4K with Samsung

Awesome? I am thinking awesome! Samsung is running a super sale on their 1080 and 4K TVs for Black Friday and you can take part in it now before they are all sold. You can either pre-order it now, and then it ships on or near Black Friday, or you can simply wait till Black Friday and buy it on that day (either way, you get the sale price). Some of the prices are superb, especially for Samsung when it comes to 4k (which is usually much more expensive). Kind of exciting because that means they plan for a large 4K push making next year a prime time for cable providers and other sources to start offering 4K resolution content on their networks. At the moment you have Netflix, Youtube and Directv (with Comcast starting something next year).

Or…there is always a slightly more cheaper price option of choosing Vizio (here). I think the actual prices are even less than what is listed here, but it provides all the links at least to get you pointed in the right direction.

Of course you can whip out a little more (just $3k or something) and get an 80-inch uber-tv from Vizio…it would look great in your bathroom I’m sure……

Awesome prices! All of which would look great for watching anime on. My buddy has a Samsung 4K and he posted a few pics of it with anime on-screen. That was the clearest anime I had ever seen. Looked like a perfect poster on the wall….giving me the urge to buy one even more now. 4K!!

Awesome Blu-Ray Player That Plays MKV Files (Cheap too!)

mkvI have been reading up looking for a Blu-Ray player that could play MKV (Matroska) files for some time now. Most reviews say its hard to find one that plays them…but really it seems its simply hard to find one that “prints” the fact that it will play them in the specs. I have this Toshiba (cheap…usually $60-$100) only because for the price it was a steal and I needed an extra blu-ray player in the house. I didn’t find out until now that it played MKVs (randomly tried to see what would happen if I stuck a disc in). HD quality…yep, digital sound…yep! Two thumbs up from me!

So all of your MKV formatted anime and whatever else…..here’s your solution to bring it to your TVs and home theaters without having to hook a PC up to them!!

UPDATE 09-25-2013

I figured it was a good time to update some of these posts. Here are a few more options for good MKV playback via Blu-ray player. Some of these options are pricey and some more than affordable. It all depends on the general over-quality of features you are looking for:
