Blu-ray players didn't even come out until the PS3 hit. The first Hdtvs came out in 1998. Cable and Satellite adopted it in 2002-2003 in 2005 when the Xbox 360 came out people barely had HDTVs and we're just getting them. I remember how people used to bytch about the text size on the games.

That's because you weren't paying attention
Compared with 1999 sets, today's leading-edge TVs are cheap - Consumer Reports

I clearly remember shyt like DLP sets and the huge floor model joints that looked like the old style TVs but were 1080i only. By the time 2005 came around most HD sets were the slim build like LCDs are. I remember HD ready TVs that didn't have HD tuners in them. HDTVs that didn't have HDMI on them at all.

in late 2005 the Xbox 360 was released. It helped drive HD sales but there were plenty before that. We're talking about 6-7 years of TV availability before you even noticed it existed. The first 4K sets probably dated back to 2012-2013 or so. It's been 3 years and you didn't even notice HDTVs for 7.

calling 4K a gimmick is like calling USB 3.1 a gimmick. It's simply a new standard early in it's life. I will say this all the people who bought a 4K before this year got fukked if their TV is missing stuff like HDR and HDCP 2.2. That's the problem with this crap is the standards were still being nailed down and manufactures were making TVs anyway.

I'll tell you what's a gimmick though. Curved TVs and this is coming from a person that has one. I didn't want the curve but I wanted the best TV in my price range and it was curved.
