| SvennoJ said: We're talking next gen here, 2021/2022. 4K tv's are already more affordable than 1080p sets were in 2005. Consoles will be upscaling to 4K next gen, not to 1080p. 1080p in 2022 will be what 720p feels like now, old hat. |
4K monitors are cheaper, 4K tvs are not.
That has been the case since the price on LCD monitors first dropped.
4K will not be the norm by 2021/2022, many people still, even now, buy 720P lcd and plasma tvs and most manufacturers still produce them (as of January 2011, 46% of new tv sets were 720P or lower).
Adoption of LCD/Plasma TV's was forced in many areas by the switch over of most telecommunications systems from analog to digital, with it being widely misrepresented to customers that a lcd/plasma tv was REQUIRED for the digital switch over, when in reality only a set top box was needed.
There is no such forced posturing to make people upgrade to a 4K set.
