| Soundwave said: I don't think 4K will "fail", it will eventually just become so cheap that it'll be adopted into budget and low budget sets. But it's not going to be anything like the SD to HD switch, where the difference was massively obvious and people had to have it. I think most "average joes" are simply not going to care about 4K. 4K as a resolution really is a weird sticking point for a TV anyway. It's noticable in a PC monitor because you're sitting close to the screen and it's good for movies that are projected onto a 50 foot screen ... but on normal sized "large" LCD sitting at a normal 6-10 feet away from the screen, the impact of the image really isn't all that great. It's better sure, but it's not like "OHMYGAWDTHISISSOMUCHBETTER!" type thing, lol. I gotta be honest from my viewing experience, if you didn't tell me that TV I was watching was a 4K set, I never probably would've known. It just looked like a pretty nice 1080p set from the demo I watched. |
You saw it with the 84 inch Sony right ? If you would run a 1080p 84 Inch TV next to it the difference would be massive. 1080p at that size looks pretty bad a 720p 42 Inch TV looks much better than a 1080p 84 inch TV thats almost SD quality if you sit within 3meter. That it looked like a nice 1080p is a great accomplishment for a 84 inch screen. 1080p Beamer look like crap tbh because it feels like SD for the size that its usually using.
4k offers alot of advantages for TVs (especially glassless/cinema 3D and 60inch+ TVs) or PC user sitting very close to the Screen will feel it.alot.
It is drastically better in some cases but a 42 inch 1080p TV already has the same pixel density per inch as a 84inch 4k TV. The point of 4k is not losing quality if you go bigger or closer.
