see, That is the Problem. Many people say, YADA YADA, yet dont really have the gear to say, WHY NOT. I have a 39" 4K Monitor. YES, I thought the same as every other post, UNTIL I hooked it up. THIS is the Game Changer tech. I paid $650 for the Monitor (Seiki), and $250 for a Up-Converting BluRay Player.
This Combo= GIVES you a 4K, AKA IMAX Resolution at home. Content- the upconversion from dvd->1080P, didnt really work very well, BUT it did work. The upconversion from blu-ray --> 2160P-THAT is a different animal. IT does indeed work. NOT 100%- BUT it does indeed work Very well. IT does make any bluray Owned, from Predator,Aliens, Conan LOOK VERY, VERY good. Never have i Scene 25yr old Movies, that Look better than the day i saw them first.
BUT the most important aspec of 4K. THE PC. 4K Gaming, is a Different animal. YES it cost's to be at that level. BUT- Never in the Computer Industry, have we had this level of resolutino jump. YOU see the typical people, actually settling for 2.7K versus 4K. THOSE are the people who dont have the gear, saying bad things. For $700 for the Video Card, and $700 for a 39" Monitor.. This was the single largest jump in video quality, ever experienced. youTube content, does indeed look- Extremely GOOD at Up-converted 4K.
Folks, forget that Windows- by default does an outstanding job at up-converting content.
EVERY BluRay I have played- From Predator-Avatar The upconversion ROCKS. To the point that after 2 days, with 4K- My $1500 -55" Samsung LED TV, started to look very bad to my eyes.
NETFLIX- The BLUK- meaning over 70% of NETFLIX presented via- the SAMSUNG up-converting bluray player, 70% gets upconverted to 4K-.. How I met your Mother, at 4K-(naturally my favorite), is breathtaking.
BF3, at 4K+Ultra Settings- even at only 30fps.. IT looks very-VERY GOOD.
All i had to do, was demo Mass Effect 3, at 4K====4 Combo systems sold within hours.. 1x 39" 4K monitor, and 1x Nvidia 780GTX Card. It is a technology, that will indeed cause buyers regret.(with regards to 1080P gear), but is the future. Makes ANYTHING look that much better.
Those who say no.. LACK THE GEAR to fully see how good it truely looks.
