| dongo8 said: Sure, but only if you are buying an 80+ inch screen, I'd like to see you TRY and differentiate between 4k and 1080p on a standard living room sized TV (60 or smaller generally). Once 4k projectors become more prevalent, those will make a hell of a lot more sense than buying an 80 inch TV to take up a whole living room wall. Also, I said HARDLY ANY shows and movies available, which is absolutely true. Sure there are going to be more and more available because 4k/Ultra HD is the "In" thing, but it still makes hardly any difference to the human eye. They are analog and don't care about minute pixel details from the distance you would be watching a TV from. Look up the science |
No matter how much I love new tech, I kinda have to agree with this.
On my 52" living room 1080p tv it's already not that easy to see the difference between 720p and 1080p. It's night and day on a 1080p projector, yet 4K projectors are still in the $8000 range. 55" 4k TV only makes sense if you sit max 6 feet from it.
That's not to dismiss watching 4K content on a 1080p tv. 4k Netflix downsampled to 1080p should finally look like blu-ray quality. Same for cable. The avg 7 mbps 1080i mpeg 2 stream I get now from cable at times hardly matches 480p you tube quality. 4k content on 4K tvs looks better in stores, 4k content on 1080p tvs would look better in stores too. Of course I don't know if you can get 4K Netflix working on a 1080p tv, 4k you tube seems to work fine on my 1080p laptop, looks great.
That's not to say I wouldn't want one of these

Only $15000 always fun to read the reviews
Howdy best buy customers! I purchased this Television Set about a few months ago. Yeah it is a little expensive but the quality is unreal. The box it came in is also really spacious which is convenient because i now live in it. My son Conner also has is own room in the box with a full sized bed and his own 32 inch television. No mortgage, no worries!
That said, if my living room tv breaks, next will be 60" or 65" 4K tv. I hope it lasts long enough so I also have something to watch on it when I buy one. I'll make sure to buy one that can display 10 bit color for 4k blu-ray. Contrast and color reproduction are more important to me than a few ms of lag.
