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 4kShe gave me the list

104.DTV4k
105cine4k
106Live4k

BasicallyNONE

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?

I have a 65” and sit about 12 feet away.

You can tell the 4k content difference from 1080p, it’s a nice 
upgrade, but not something you really miss if it’s not there.


I think you see it a lot more if you project like 120” screen and are 
14 feet away.


That’s where it starts to really come out, on the bigger screens, 
sitting closer to the content.


As far as content, a lot of the TV shows from the last two years on 
most content providers is 4k available.


Vudu is good with 4k as is a lot of Netflix stuff.

Some recent movies as well, but a lot are still provided in 1080 instead.

Can’t speak to satellite TV since I haven’t had that in years.

I think it really depends
on the size, but 1080p to 4K is not as noticeable as a jump as SD
=> HD, although it seems logical it would be.



I have an (early) 70" 4K TV, not one of the OLED ones, and when I
watch Netflix original stuff on it, people who haven't seen 4K
before always comment on how good it looks. I'm sitting about 8
feet or so away. You do have to look for it to a degree, but it's
very noticeable in certain things (rain/lights always seems to be
one of the things that get people to notice it.) I'm not sure it's
'worth it', but if you're going to buy a new TV anyway, it'd be
pointless not to get a 4K now at this point with the price of them
(IMO.) The TV I have is already less than $1500 at Costco.

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 4kShe gave me the list


104.DTV4k
105cine4k
106Live4k

BasicallyNONE

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?
