| m_csquare said: Like what you said, the technology is still new. In fact, it was just released 2nd quarter this year. And please please do a research on what 4k do to your tv. More resolution just adds more sharpness. 4k doesnt affect the color tint, color grading, black level or whatsoever. If there's a difference between the bluray and UHD bluray version, it's caused by the color correction that the movie producer apply to the disc (the same thing that they've done to any remaster version). Resolution also depends on its viewing distance. Watch them at their optimal distance, and i bet no one will say that the difference between 4k and 1080p is not substantial. Indeed, which is why I'm waiting for true 4K projectors to become affordable as at 12ft from my living room tv, upgrading that to a 60" 4K TV probably still won't do it justice. 4K is great for PC monitors and projectors, don't see the value in a TV. (Except for HDR) The same thing can be said abt HDR. It's a really new technology. Yes, there are still a lot of problems with current HDR. but luckily, those problems can be resolved with firmware update. Hopefully firmware updates can do that. As for projectors, they're far behind when it comes to reproducing HDR If there's one direction video industry is going, it's 4k video. I'm not saying ppl need it for video games, but it's such a missed opportunity for Sony. Especially since the market is still barely touched. |
The tech is still new and unfortunately not backwards compatible. Needing a new amp for the same sound is a big hindrance, plus with hd-dvd / blu-ray you already had amazing results compared to dvd on a HD ready 600 line CRT tv.
It's different this time. Before I bought the player first, upgraded tv and sound later and actually build a home theater for it in 2007. Now there is no incremental upgrade path.
