Re: UHD tv and poor picture

How much did this TV cost you? Did you do any research on it at all and what material you were going to watch on it?

Re: UHD tv and poor picture

I guess the burning question is..

Is there any point getting a 4k TV now?

Judging by these replies it is a No but there must be some benefit otherwise it's just a case of people having more money than sense (no offence to anyone that owns a 4K TV btw)

4K will be great when there is plenty of content and a TV of 60" plus is appropriate for the room in which you want to view it.

Also, the quality of the TVs upscaler will be important, which means 4K TVs that produce a decent picture from SD (and HD?) will be expensive.

Personally, I think 4K TV is a niche product at the moment for people with loads of spare money and big living rooms. And even then, they could have problems with current content.

Just my POV.

Sounds like a very good summary to me. Like with all new technology it will eventually become more affordable.

I strongly agree with your point about screen size compared to room size. I hear so many people saying how big their TV's are and then you find out the room is 10 x 10 foot or something ridiculous and I just think why?

Perhaps size matters to some people??? ;):p:
