All Blu-ray releases should be done in 4k. The last couple of movies that I've reviewed from Sony have had incredible coloring and details. I hope that other studios follow suit because 4k is the way to go
I only bought a 3D TV recently as they are now a sensible price.
I've seen 4K in action (at the Gadget Show Live last year), and whilst I thought it was good IMO you're gonna need a TV 60"+ to really notice the difference. I don't have the room for that size TV let alone could I afford a 4K TV that size!!
Must admit, I have no real desire to go 4K
but for heavens sake - Panasonic - bring back PLASMA, put some real research funding into it, promote it properly
:ass: That would be great!!
One good reason why I believe Blu-rays are not dominating is because the movie distributors/makers keep making blu-ray/DVD combo. If you want blu-ray to grab hold, then seperate them or even better......make blu-ray slightly cheaper for awhile. Also, those people still rockin the old CRT TV screens wouldn't see the difference in picture quality because they probably didn't notice the transition from VHS to DVD, much less from DVD to Blu-ray (picture quality wise).
I think Blu-rays are great and even though 4k is on it's way......it will take a long time to adopt. Everything is streaming nowadays, so they should stream everything in 4k, after ISP's increase bandwith speeds. VUDU, Amazon and some other companies do very well with this and UltraViolet is becoming easier to use too. You just have to be patient with UV. I have over 600 UV movies and TV shows and almost all of them are only slightly under Blu-ray quality. They even support 7.1 surround and that's hard to beat.

Good point Jack. I wasn't bashing the CRT. I'm 41 and I used those TV's all my life. I was stating that CRT could only do 525 (480) resolution and my nephew couldn't tell the difference when I switched to DVD. He only noticed the picture was a bit clearer, but when I showed him Blu-ray on my new 60" last year, he finally noticed the difference in pixels.
I think that 4k would be the last format I take on, but while I wait.......I will be looking into sound now. I hear the Atmos standard is nice to hear about and can't wait for HDMI 2.0 to give us the 60 fps we need.

I think it's going to become the standard for PC gaming long before it takes over your main TV set. You can already get a decent 4k monitor for around £500 so I'm already tempted to take the plunge, TVs are about 5 times the cost at the moment
......you mean like this 50" 4K LG for $1099 at Frys?
