We have monster Mitsubishi in living room and son has the Samsung in his
room.  I still prefer my Sony Trinitron ...37 inch...has awesome sound.

I think HDR makes a bigger impact than 4k does.

*Subject: *[AFMUG] 4k tv


I had about an hour to kill this afternoon so I spent it in Costco roaming
around...

Some of the pictures on the Samsung TVs that are UTV or even Beyond UTV are
absolutely astonishing.

At the end of the TV section was the DirecTV rep.  I have DirecTV satellite
and I like my high definition picture and my high-definition home projector.

All of my TV's in my home were purchased in the last five to ten years and
they're all HD capable.  Most are smart TVs that run apps but the apps
don't ever update and you pretty much get what the TV has and that's it....

So I decided to get all excited I had a little money burning a hole in my
pocket I thought I would grab one of these super duper Samsung Ultra
high-definition televisions.  Ok not really but lets pretend I did....

I told the DirecTV lady when HD first came out it took the broadcasters a
while to start broadcasting in HD. I asked her for a list of which channels
broadcast in 4k....She gave me the list....

104.....DTV4k
105....cine4k
106....Live4k

Basically....NONE

How much programming on Netflix is in 4k? I am aware of the extreme
bandwidth requirements....

And guaranteed if I got a hacked Amazon Fire stick it's not going to show
me anything in 4k....

What is the point? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
