not sure if this 4K stuff is gonna take off

[Kuwka_Atcha_Ratcha]

before I begin, just want to say I'm not one of these bitter posters that complain about new technology, as I purchase everything new tech wise, consoles get em all on release dates, mac's, had HDTV in 2005 when a 32inch cost 1,000. and purchased a 3DTV straight away.

BUT... 4k is just impractical. even from a pirate point of view, at least you can download a 3D movie in no time, to download a 4K movie would take crazy long, equally as long for the person to upload it.

to download legally would take ages also

to stream you'd need an amazing internet connection

this gen of consoles, yeah the gen that just came out.. cant play any games in 4k

tv broadcasters don't even have enough bandwith to transmit 4k TV , they're having a hard enough time with 1080p

a lot of bluray players don't support 4K

most youtube videos are not 4K

breh's the list is endless. how is this supposed to take off

its doing a whole lot better than 3D tv thats for sure (do they even sell them in stores anymore?) and I can see 4k TV being the standard in another year or two for the most part.

we'd get there quicker if we didnt have garbage consoles holding us back with their garbage 900p game play if they were capable of better resolutions and performance you'd probably hear about 4k tvs/gaming more often


xboxone and ps4 literally fukked up the movement of technology by like 3-4 years


at people already waiting on ps5 to play on TVs that will already be popular years

its not doing better than 3D,

3d has TV CHANNELS, console video games, and a shyt load of movies you can buy legally and illegally. 4k does not have this.

how would we get quicker to 4k if the TV NETWORKS DONT EVEN HAVE ENOUGH BANDWITH FOR 1080P????

im not sure what tv networks you are talking about that cant get 1080p ? AT&T Uverse in the bay area has one of the slowest fiber optics in the entire country and plays TV shows at 1080p no issue at all..

that's ONE network, but tv companies don't have the ability to all put out 1080p. do you know how tv works?

also you skipped past the other point's I made. regarding 3d being bigger.

do you have any actual facts/reports/stats that 3d tv is a larger market/doing better in sales than 4k or you just in here trying to justify your purchase of a 3d tv

I predict the next gen of consoles will be 4k and will cost more. Once the PC gaming side can get a $400 or less card that can do 4k 60fps, it's over for 1080p on pcs and consoles.

I also predict that sub $400 gpu coming out within 2 years

4k will be the gaming standard next gen.

No TV Network broadcasts in 1080p.

No TV Network broadcasts in 1080p.

1080i I mean but U-Verse does 1080i no problem and 1080i has same pixels as 1080p just at 30 fps instead of 60 fps

edit: and companies are more than capable of streaming 1080p. You can stream 1080p, 60 frames per second on 3 mb/s upload speed for the most part. These companies are offering 50 mbs speeds as the norm now and up to 300 mbs up and down in places like Dallas and some even faster in other places.

Them not doing it cause it saves them money is another thing.

I've mentioned before on this forum that as much as 4K has been pushed at CES the last few years, Hollywood themselves aren't really on-board with 4K.

Whenever I look up tech specs for recent movies on IMDB, I notice most movies nowadays ARE NOT being Mastered (or even shot) in 4K.

4k is a stop gap, breh

 

[Barney Rubble]

People are fine using netflix over bluray So convincing them they need four times the resolution of bluray is a hard sell. Streaming done ruined the quality game for us videophiles

 

[Maddmike]

Tv technology is moving to damn fast. Didn't someone say they are already talking about 8k?
When HD dropped there was a universal plan behind it, but now it's just getting out of hand.

I Wana buy a tv now, but all this shyt got me nervous

 

[Rigby.]

The problem is companies don't want to be forced to adjust to 4K yet
Sony and Microsoft put their consoles out when 4K was far more niche and it still isn't big enough to force them to abandon it

The people who feel they NEED 4K are still a niche themselves, albeit a rapidly growing niche

na chill breh haven't you heard we all need phones with 600 gigs of storage for all that 4k video we recording
