What "K" will you draw the line at?

Hell, I think I pay more for gas/sewer/trash than my actual energy bill for a family of 4, but I’m still scratching my head on what this has to do with the topic of the thread

It has nothing to do with the topic of this thread. Same fear mongering, different thread.

His silly worries gained no traction in the thread where they originated, so he is trying his luck here. I guess the reception that he received in the other thread was not warm enough for him.

Well, it is actually. It’s the reason I don’t think it will be viable to go past 4K. As I stated in my post. The higher the res, the higher the cost on the climate. I think SD will be called for and small screens.

Not the question being asked.

Increased power consumption will have a greater impact on our climate if still derived mostly from fossil fuels. Population growth alone will increase power consumption no matter if we have TVs or streaming. Our screens use very little power compared to virtually everything else.

My TV will use the same amount of power no matter what I watch on it.

The question is: "What "K" will you draw the line at" not what "K" will be the last before the wicked government says that you can't have any more K's. The OP is asking what choice we each will make, not what choice might be made for us by the big bad gubbermint.

We won’t have a choice if it’s taken away. That’s my point.

Anyway, 8K will be the absolute limit. Improvements will come from smart features, designer builds, audio built into screens rather than the panel and other features. If we reach that far of course.

The point is that your point was NEVER the question asked here in this thread.

No one is asking what choice would you make if you had no choice...sheesh.

He really likes his fancy and apocalyptic views doesn’t he? “In the future, all displays are tiny, SD, no physical media, coz gubbermint” — That will be the tagline for the movie Die Hurd - Dur Hurder.

LOL, I don’t think anyone is going to take away or shrink anyone’s flatscreens

that does not make much sense.

Let me ask you this. what do you think has a higher carbon foot print and by how much? a DVD , a BD or a UHD BD?

what takes more gas a truck load of DVDs , BDs or UHD BDs?

I am referring to streaming, that’s the future for the masses. Us 4K disc lovers are a niche.

The future? It is the present reality.
