I don't see the point. 4k might be good for tablets. At least you're close enough to see the difference. Most people don't have their noses stuck to the screen. But even then i think its overkill. Most movies were never filmed in 4k. It is like buying an old TV show on Blu-Ray. You're just getting an upconverted copy. Also Format wars just ended 5 years ago. It seems stupid to force another media format on the market. Hell there is a lot of movies that never made it to DVD, Alone Blu-Ray. And Frankly I don't think anyone other than videophile cares. I think the proof of that is the Market Share for Blu-Ray is still small compared to DVD. I have not seen it stay above 35% for long. If everybody was a Videophile. Blu-Ray would have already taken over DVD. Frankly I am not going rush out a buy and new TV, new player, and new disc. Because they will release 30k in a year. and the cycle starts all over again. Its too much of a pain in the ass. Besides if quality was the only thing people cared about. Then CD's should be selling like hot cakes and Mp3 players would be failed product. And Netflix and Hulu would be dead in the water.
