4K Blu-ray content on the horizon?

i think blu ray is safe, at least until something of a higher quality becomes cheaper.
look at dvd, inferior to blu ray, but still selling by the bus load.

piracy has hit dvd sales no doubt, as you can download a dvd quality film pretty quicky, but you can also buy a dvd film for £2-£3 (or if you are happy with a used disc, £1 or less). im sure dvd will carry on until blu ray players and discs are a similar price to dvd players and discs (and of course the majority of homes have hdtvs)

it will be the same for blu ray. these internet tvs will be fine for say, xfactor or the like. but its a disposable media. it has a place for sure and will live alongside hd, there will be those who love it and those who dont.

ultimatley we all want 'better' and 'faster'. but you cant have both. yes mp3s have become very popular, and in terms of storage its great. but it isnt as good as cd sound. the drive for mp3 is portability. you cant go jogging or sit on the bus with 50 cds, but 1 small pendrive sized thing you can.

visual isnt quite the same. a movie lasts longer than most bus rides, and you cant watch one whilst jogging. the digi copies do the trick for movies on the go, on a small screen.
but if you want a big tv (and most of us do, be honest) you need better quality source otherwise its pointless.

there are plenty of people who wont care for better quality, but thet are the same people who buy the cheapest stuff regardless of whether thats tvs, food, car, furniture etc.
if a man has enough money to buy what he wants, he will buy the better stuff. if its the same price, you get the better one.

im sure any tvs without hdmi input will be left on the shelves. no hdmi means no xbox/playstation, no linking you camcorder, as well as no blu rays.
look at todays hd tvs, still have all the old inputs (so you even plug your snes into it) people will always want to be backward compatible.
