4k

It is so weird that they keep upgrading the resolution of TV screens and video. I am fine with that but at the same time, I feel like I have to upgrade my movie collection every 5 years into the latest format.

I am also planning to buy a new TV and I am tempted to buy this curved TV but I don't think I can watch something from a far distance with this curved TV.

I am still very slowly building my blu-ray collection (after owning high 100's of VHS and low 100's in DVD I am trying to keep Blu-Ray in the essential) and seeing the 4k discs and their costs versus the cost of normal blu-ray, and then also seeing the minimal improvement in visual quality, I still cannot see or justify buying 4k for what amounts to slightly better video.

Some people can explain away the exaggerated costs of 4k but I can't. I'm happy with the quality of Blu-Ray compared to DVD. It may not be as large as DVD was to VHS but it still was worth it on a 1080p or even 720p television.

I believe there’s research which indicates that the human eye cannot resolve better than 4K (or, at most, 8K) - at least under typical “home theater” conditions. So at some point, due to anatomical limitations, the continual upgrading will stop.

nah. They'll keep improving the resolution because they're will always be people who claim they can see the difference even when it's impossible to the human eye

i agree. they will upgrade and lie in the marketing.

until they fix the ''black's'' i am yawning. i demand accurate white and black on my tv panel. factory calibrated. for that i would pay 600€-800€.

i am so angry that they are now using the word ''HDR'' for new TV's. because HDR(high dynamic range) means something else and was used in CGI effects for a different purpose. there will so much confusion.
