[QUOTE="brakel, post: 54357, member: 416"] I don't think that 4k even matters for this generation. I think 4k adoption by the masses will be as slow as 3D if not slower. I think TV manufacturers have gotten spoiled the last 10 years with being able to sell a lot of HD and large LCD TVs to people that wanted to get HD but didn't necessarily need a new TV. From the time in the 1970s when everyone had a color TV until the 2000s, people usually only got a new TV when their old one wore out. There was nothing driving the consumer to "need" a new one. When you did get a new TV it was probably 2 inches bigger than the old one and had the latest comb filter or was a stereo TV but your driving force to get a new TV was that the old one crapped out. I think we've entered a new era where new TVs are mostly going to be sold to people whose old TVs are broken or otherwise unusable - I'm talking about you, shutyertrap! :D I don't think anyone is going to be running out to replace their perfectly good 50" HD TV that they bought 5 years ago just to get a 4k TV. I know I won't! :D [/QUOTE]
