Seiki introduces 39-inch 4K display for under $700

For most, Seiki isn’t a household name in consumer electronics, but when they release (later this month) a 39-inch 4K HDTV for $699 they will become one. The 39-inch, affordable 4K option (model SE39UY04) has a max resolution of 3840×2160, a refresh rate of 120hz at 1080p, and 30hz. The budget 4K TV also has built-in digital and analogue tuning  and there’s a USB port on the back, which Seiki says can display 4K photos. Seiki will also include an HDMI 1.4 cable.

Executive VP of Seiki, Frank Kendzora prepares us for the future with this statement:

SEIKI will continue to expand its 4K Ultra HDTV line in 2013 to help accelerate the adoption of 4K digital entertainment and make it accessible to every consumer in the U.S. market.

This is the push we need to get 4K into our homes. With consoles gearing up for the 4K revolution, Seiki TV’s may become the favorite of pro users and gamers the world over.

The TV ships late June and can be preordered (US only) from Sears.com. Keep reading for the full press release from Seiki.
