Title: 4K tv's... is it time yet?
Post by: Oldfisti on December 03, 2013, 03:15:02 AM
I'm in the market for a new tv and was thinking of going 4K.  Anybody have one yet? 

All thoughts, opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your responses  [thumbsup]

Right now, it is a novelty because the VAST majority of media is produced in 1080p still.

It will eventually be the new standard but give it a year or two and the prices will be down to the point where it makes sense.

I have been wondering the same thing. I've got a 61" rear projection tv that I bought back in 2007.  The resolution on it only goes up to 1080i, and I've been desperately wanting a 1080p tv.  Now that 4K is out, I think I'll wait another year or two and upgrade to that instead.
