Sony wants to keep 4K name

People said blu-ray would fail and look at what happened. just needs to get cheaper.

4k tvs will be a household product in 5 years.

I know this because everything in the film industry is moving to digital and shooting at 4, 5, and 6k. It's improving fast and becoming easier (cheaper) to get a hold of a product now that can shoot the same as a $100,00 camera.

I'm glad I just both an LCD that will last me 3-4 years, while the prices will eventually come down and supply and demand will kick in.

You think that UHD TVs will drop from $25k to around $1k in 5 years? [pic]

Them !!s won't be "household" anytime soon. [pic]

Yes I do believe it will happen.
Just look at the Black Magic Camera that just came out.
It's a $3000 dollar camera that shoots at 2.5k resolution.
Right now the highest def tv projects a little above 1k of resolution line.
Just imagine 4x the quality.

You also know that $25k is priced at from the 84-inch model.
How many people do u know that own models that big?
I feel the average model a consumer buys is between 40-50 inch.
You can drop easily $5,000-8,000 from that $25k.

The thing that I feel is going to be a problem is people complaining about how high the resolution is to how our eyes normally see things. (Meaning no blur with fast action)

Peter Jackson shot The Hobbit on 5k res and screened the trailer to fans and they complained about how clear and un-cinematic it was.

yea, totally the same thing.

DVD's, a format that had been standard for 11 years and had dozens of "upgrades" to the almost 30 year run format before it, with SDTV's that had been standard for way longer than that. slowly being replaced by Blu-Rays roughly 6 years ago with 1080P TV's roughly the same time frame, that hasn't phased out DVD/SDTV or even own a majority of the marketshare, is going to be replaced by a far more expensive completely new set of technology that 1. won't be fully utilized and 2. will require a MASSIVE set.

you gotta be the dumbest nicca in this section [pic] this isn't even close to the same scenario.

do you have any idea how big the screen would have to be? you need roughly 40" to properly see 1080P, you would need way larger than the largest sets available today and pretending they sell for $200 you would still require people to have the room for these big !!ing sets.


oh and to dude talking about oh peter jackson filming with it, so? you know movies have been shot at way higher resolution than even 1080p for like, 80 years right? we have absolutely never had technology that matched home video with original film. ever. so that's irrelevant.
