That being said you'd need a 70" TV for 4K. Resolution isn't the issue, LCD and Plasma are still immature, that's where the bottle neck is not resolution. More bullet point marketing hype nothing to see here. It’s pretty well known that 1080p is wasted on anything less than 50″. That being said you’d need a 70″ TV for 4K.

More bullet point marketing hype nothing to see here.

Sounds like tech in search of a market to me. How big a screen would you need to appreciate resolution of this magnitude, viewing at normal distances?? Sounds like tech in search of a market to me.

All modern economies are based on always more growth. But like cancer, eventually, too much growth will kill the host! @Rupert – But if you don’t constantly buy new stuff, then the economy will not grow and people will lose their jobs.

TVs should last 5-10 years, but it seems that even if your TV is more than a year old it is out of date.

Storage gets denser, displays more robust, etc. But HD 4k and greater displays require a much bigger net pipe. The problem is that the ISP monopolies are restraining net bandwidth to users. Until bandwidth is opened up, there is no practical use for this technology. It’s inevitable.

Even today I find it hard to look at such high detail sometimes. HD does no favors to anyone whose skin is not perfect. I have no wish to see every pimple on the guy in every idiot commercial or on the news. I say: leave something for our imagination... My opinion is who the hell needs such a high resolution?
