I assume they are clearing out the old stuff.
Pinging the HDTV ping list..
Interesting marketing challenge. Getting people excited about how crisp and clear your new display technology is by showing me a picture I’m looking at on my monitor.
you can use those plasma screens as a room heater too!
I remember when they were new I walked past the floor to ceiling and wall to wall display at K-Mart or someplace and it felt like I was walking past a blast furnace.
LED is amazing, though
What we have here, is technology way ahead of the practical applications.
Are there any TV stations that can broadcast for that type of resolution? Any movies on CDs that use that kind of resolution? Any computer applications that can use that type of resolution (other than medicine or research)?
Computers, sure. More res on a 27” panel would be a welcome thing.
It worked well for the introduction of HDTV in the late 90’s...I’m going to wait for hologram’s in HD ;-)
There are already DVD players on the market that will upscale to 4K.
Not sure about you, but those displays sure do look incredible on my VGA monitor!
These TV’s have the capacity to “upconvert” the standard HD 720 - 1080 signal to something approaching 2 - 4K depending on the quality of the original signal. Translation = The existing picture it delivers will look a whole lot better than any regular 1080p TV. That is a good thing, especially when it comes to movies, sports, etc.
Practicality, is the keyword.
Nobody goes out to purchase a super-duper-HD-TV, just so they can have the sent signals upconverted to higher definition. Makes no sense to spend the extra dough that it would cost just for that.
You don’t get out much, do you?
If it gives a smoother picture on a very large screen than an unconverted signal does, people will buy it.
I had a very high quality up-converting DVD player that made standard def videos look damn near as good as high def, and hung on to it for several years before they settled on BR as the standard for high def video.
Worked for me.
I wasn’t talking about “practical”, nor about “most people”. You said “nobody” I beg to differ.
These types of products only ever come down in price when the upscale, or the hard core enthusiast, buy them.
