the reason i am asking is i have people at work and friends that ask why i bought blu ray now if in 5 years something better will be out and take over blu ray and i say not way atleast for a while. blu is here to stay or the companies invested would not be investing into blu.

so anyways your thought and opinions on this would be cool, thanks

Again with this crap God Damnit!

There will NOT be a 4K format because there will NOT be a 4K broadcasts!

People will ONLY change their TV's for a new broadcast standard and NOTHING else!

The NEXT broadcast standard is SHV (8K) and it's supposed to start airing in Japan in 2025 which means 2040 in North America and a decade for decent adoption until a "new format" is released. See you in 2050.

If DVD came out in the 60's it would have lasted for 40+ years because the resolution of the broadcasts have NOT changed between 1960-1998.

HDTV will be the BEST broadcast available between 1998-204X.

Enjoy your Blu-Ray's and STOP starting these idiotic threads every week.
