Chinese TV maker TCL has announced the first 50-inch 4K screen to be released in the U.S. for under a grand, the $999 7E504D, which will debut alongside the company’s flagship 1080p 5510 series.

The TV will be available in September and is an edge-lit LED LCD with a 120Hz CMI (Clear Motion Index) engine. The native 4K screen has an onboard scaler and will accept native 4K input — such as from a PC or future 4K players, though presumably locked at 30Hz until the arrival of HDMI 2.0.

The 50-incher includes four HDMI ports and MHL compatibility for controlling and charging a smartphone or Roku stick. It also sports an USB connector for viewing pictures or playing MP3s.

Ashton Kutcher Chokes Up Talking About Steve Jobs On ‘The Tonight Show’ (VIDEO)

Ashton Kutcher proved his passion for the role of Steve Jobs in the upcoming biopic, “Jobs,” during his appearance on “The Tonight Show. He even seemed to choke up while talking about the role, and a big regret he had related to the man he was portraying on the screen.

Kutcher said that about six months before Jobs died, he had an opportunity to meet him. “I was working that day and couldn’t go, and in hindsight I look back and think, I had the opportunity to meet the Leonardo DaVinci of our generation, and I missed it,” Kutcher lamented.

He said that incident weighed on him, and affected his decision to take on the role. “I’ll never forget the moment I heard that he died,” Kutcher said. “I realized I’d taken him for granted, and taken for granted the contribution that he actually gave to society, and I actually had a real emotional moment.”
