Chris A Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 When I start sitting 6 ft from the TV and start noticing pixels, I'll check into one.In the documentary Side by Side, there is a portion close to the end of the feature that discusses the new higher resolution cameras, namely the Red Epic and the ARRI Alexa, that have 15+ stops of dynamic range, 4K horizontal pixels or greater resolution, and frame rates up to 120/second (the human eye itself works at about 70 frames/second). The comment was that "we projected the new 4K images on a big screen using the newest 4K [movie theater] projectors available, and the results were incredible." I guess that you'd need a screen that is at least the equivalent of 40 feet diagonally (a low estimate) before you'd begin to see the difference. Or you could pay your $10 at the budget showing times at your local theater and see it there, assuming you want to sit on the front row...

Islander Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I took a look at a 4K TV a couple of months ago and didn't notice much difference between that and my Panasonic VT30 1080p plasma set. I was kind of happy about that, plus the 4K set was $25,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo171 Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 plus the 4K set was $25,000. The 4K TV I saw at Fry's in Vegas last month was a penny under $17K. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you know precisely where what you watched sleep last night it is suspect. OTOH, no matter how deep the color gamut, how wide the black to white, or tiny pixels, video remains flat as a pancake and the classic "Mallettes Cat" law remains the law.

Chris A Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Can a Bluray do 4K content?Not currently... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-Ray#Video"On January 14, 2013, Blu-ray Disc Association president, Andy Parsons, stated that a task force was created three months prior to conduct a study concerning an extension to the Blu-ray Disc specification that would add support for 4K Ultra HD video."[71 ][72 ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mongo171 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 I forsee a 4k projector in the next year our two not right now though All TV's and players will not be any good until they get the format down and onto a medium. Remember what happened to the current HD format (Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
