4K HDTV

Anyone have one? Worth the extra cost? My TV is about 11 years old and I'm going to buy a new one in a few weeks before the regular season gets into swing. Thinking about buying the one below, it's about another 700 more than a 1080p of the same spec would be. Have read you need to get at least 50-55 inch TV to really notice the 4K difference. Worth it? I'm aware of the receiver requirements for HDMI 2 and have that covered as well as upscaling.

I have installed a few... Usually in a commercial environment, but I did install 1 in a client's Living Room. I do not see much difference between that and a 1080p. Not really any content available in 4K resolution yet, either... I cannot justify the extra cost to you.

Yeah I just don't think there is enough 4k content to jump onto this, right now at least.  It's kind of like 3d and it never took off.  However, I think 4k WILL take off eventually.  I was in HH Gregg over the weekend and was looking at these TVs and I can clearly tell the difference between them and 1080p.  However, they were using demos in a loop that were obviously 4k content.   I would just get a regular nice 1080p for now and wait till 4k gets more mainstream with more content.  I don't even think cable/satellite is really broadcasting true 1080p yet, Netflix has it and you can get a good picture over OTA, so it'll be a while before cable companies invest.

Well I know there isn't a lot of 4K content, but it is on the way. Just thinking since I'm definately going to buy a new TV if I should set myself up for the next 10 years or so. At any rate, I will be watching the Panthers on a new 50 or 55 inch flat screen LCD TV this year.

I figure when I buy a new TV in 5 or so years it might be worth it.

 

FYI I bought a 51" CRT Projection HDTV for $700 in early 2007 when everyone was buying 42" LCDs for $1500.

 

Still looks as good as the day I bought it.

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By CRA · Posted

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      Saturday roll call

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant

      So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
