| Soundwave said: I don't think it will catch on as a primary feature, it's going to be recieved as a dud from the general market, just like 3DTV before it. |
It took decades to go from 480p to 720p and it took years for 1080p to become a mass market thing. 3D is a couple of years old and slowly becomes a standard. I don't see how 3D is a dud every TV has 3D if its a better model just the low end doesn't have it.
January 2005 Panasonic unveils first 1080p TV
August 2012 Sony unveils first 4k TV
Now its almost impossible NOT to buy 1080p it took 7-8 years for 1080p to get there. 3D is 4 years old. in 3 years 3D will be standard its already becoming normal to own a 3D TV.
In 7-8 years 4k will be as normal as 1080p today. And maybe even faster. Technological development speeds up it gets faster and faster. So 3D failing means it was not as fast adopted as hoped but back in the last century the pace of technological advancements was snail pace compared to today.
So even if 4k fails that just means 4k fails according to the newest expectations. Back in 1960 3D TV adoption rate would be considered a unprecedented success. If the adoption of 4k is slower than 1080p it fails but its probably going as fast if not faster.And even if 4k fails that just means its going to be standard 2023 instead of 2020. But I guess 4k will be standard before this decade is over.
