I fear for 4k Disks...

Sure, building in HDR support wasn't possible yet the 4K early adopters weren't even thrown the bone of P3 colour space which has been around for years. Like I said above, I know that change is inevitable but for the Sony 4K sets to turn from SDR Rec.709 10.2 Gb/s into HDR P3 18 Gb/s in the space of one single product generation (using very similar internal tech) takes the piss. So there's no way I'm jumping into UHD BD head first, I've been burned so many times over the years and I really should know better.

So what does that all mean? Will UHD BD work on your 4K TV? How does this effect you in the future for your 4K viewing? Is the evolution of what's happening now to 4K TV kind of like 1080i to 1080p?
