Ultra HD

Post by The Commader »

Ultra HD is coming soon. Ok it is very expensive these days, but not in 2 years I think. Can you believe it 4 times better than HD???? If there will be a Cam with this resolution I will buy it! Look this link a 19500,- TV amazing... but who can buy it??????

We still dont have top Full HD camcorders, there are still a lot of thing to improve, upgrade to 4k now is not a good option, camcorders would be expensive and not effective, just like the first full hd camcorders sucked, resolution itself means nothing. Technology needs time, plus we still don't know how 4k content would be spreaded. I'd give it 5 years until this thing will make sense.

Why? 8 or 7 years ago no one knows about HD. Technique goes very quick. A few years ago you paid thousands of euro for a Plasma TV and now you can sell it for a few hundred euro...

Panasonic has a 4k BR Player 250,- and you can buy it for 204,-! But I will wait of the next generation, because my friend bought that player and we saw a film! REALLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the 1st 4K Cam comes next year

For the average consumer, 4K TVs and camcorders are a waste of money. Maybe in 5 - 10 years it will reach the same threshold and adoption as bluray. Currently there is no content available for it except for a few up scaled blu-rays. TV providers are still not broadcasting every channel in HD and for the don't have the bandwidth for 4K content and would need new HD receivers capable of decoding the signal. 4K mainstream adoption is going to take quite awhile.

It is best just to enjoy 4K content at the movie theaters with their huge screens and surround sound systems.

I heard somewhere that the human eye can't notice any different between HD and 4K until you view it on a TV that's 65 inches or larger. That's why all the 4K models you see are like 84 inches or bigger.

I just bought my first 47" LCD 1080p TV 6 months ago for a little over $500. The same specs would've sold for 10K a decade ago. It's going to be quite a while before 4K prices become reasonable for the average consumer.

Yeah, yeah, sure, I remember how you made the same topic about 3D, how it will take over the world. And so? 3DTVs were big news (old news) for one year, now its not relevant, people don't care about 3D, no hype at all. How many bootlegs filmed in 3D you saw? Right. Now everyone is talking about Smart TV. DVD market is still very strong worldwide. And you're talking about 4k domination in a few years. *yawn*
