[Blu-ray Fanatic]

At the end of the day, the human eye can only perceive the difference to a degree. From what I have read and seen, you need at least a +100" screen sitting at normal viewing distances to see the difference between HD and UHD. Since that doesn't fit the majority of individuals, nor will it ever, I doubt that this technology will ever become mainstream. Eventually it will, but I give it 20+ years.

Here is the chart I reference:



But it is beautiful to see that they are still improving the technology.

Display technology > our eyes. 1080p will be fine for many years to come. Why would I buy a new TV with higher resolution, just to have to sit 5 feet closer to notice any difference?

[bkbluray]

LOL I still don't have a big enough TV to fully appreciate the benefit of 1080p, so there's no way I'm getting this for a LONG time.

Unbelievable picture though!

Yes you would see the difference with a upgrade to UHD.

Well, it is a push for the big screen tv to stay relevant and if 4k is a flop, we may be seeing the dying days of the big screen tv in the next ten years or so as more of the younger gen use tablets and smartphones. Personally, I hope 4k rescues the tv market as the consequences are too much for this film fan to bare!

4K is not the issue. Price is the issue. Lunatics are trying to sell an 84" television for over $30,000 dollars, and that's not trying to save a market.

No one is using phones or tablets to watch movies by choice. It's a cheap alternative for people without a place of their own to view content. As long as the same people who market a big screen are making more money with small screens, you have this issue.

Saving a market means paying too much, for too little.

Of course I want Ultra High Definition. There is only on problem I would have to be a billionaire in order to put in a home theater room large enough, so I could get the proper screen to distance ratio.

Are you saying that you'd need more room depth to get the right distance for UHD? Because the opposite is true. In fact, this makes it possible to put larger screens into smaller spaces.

(BTW an 8k "retina display" would be about 27"; I could certainly see myself watching movies at my desk on a screen that size. )

UHDTV's receive a substantial price cut

[Robert Zohn]

Thanks for posting this very nice price drop on UHD TVs. One correction is the articles have incorrect prices for Samsung's 55" UN55F900, which is now actually $4,499 and the 65" UN65F9000 is now $5,999.

Very deep price cuts, but not quite as low as the articles say.

The Sony 65" already dropped from 7 grand to $5500? This is why it's worth waiting a couple more years. Not only will they iron out all the kinks in the technology, but the sets will be half the price of what they were originally asking at its inception.

Sorry I had to stop reading after the bolded ^ there for a second..

Nah, I wouldn't say 4 times the res is really worth it unless you bought the "Porsche" HDTV. This is real 4K.
