4K TV Sets

[rgn2000]

I saw the newer 4K TVs at CES last month, and yes you do see a big difference. I believe Vizio will offer a $1.000 50-inch 4K set by the end of the year. The problem is programming to justify it, but things are starting to change. Netflix is going to stream House of Cards Season 2 in 4K.

The problem of these TV sets I see the other side of a "bad Thing"......Lets just say do i really need to spend 1.7gig on a TV show that i only want to catch up and watch (not a keeper) MATE ITS COSTS MONEY.....Way too many posts with large files are NOT needed for most of us. BUT if you want to watch and spend 1.7gig on a tv show there should be some reasonable option with smaller files under 400mb. There is not enough out there guys.
PS can you really tell the difference with a 4k tv with a download movie or tv show other than blueray? I dont think so!

The future for these TVs is 4k streaming
to store a movie at home or on a disk you need around 1gb a minute !

The problem here isn't the file size (storage and bandwidth are cheap, and heck, you've already paid for the infrastructure), it is the fact that your ISP has tricked you into believing that metered service is a requirement. In fact, it only serves to do two things:

1. Syphon large amounts out of your pocket each month.

and

2. Keep you from using out-of-country media services such as Netflix.

Do any channel broadcast in 4K yet.???

Yes, but I'm pretty sure it's only happening in Japan thus far.

Those guys are always way ahead of us. By the time we adopt 4K in large quantities, they will already be broadcasting 8K.

the true motive of 4K will always bc copyright protection... normal people just dont have the bandwidth to download 4K movies

I like the look of them, just have only seen the 55". Seems unless it's 75" or over, you really don't get the true "wow" affect!

need good upscaler for benefit when no 4k source
monitor hard at only 30hz
