Yep, plasma is over, but OLED is here, and it's even better. It has far better blacks than plasma, let alone LED, it doesn't require much electricity, it has excellent colour and should be capable of low input lag. And the panels are ultra thin, so look good in the living room. Don't get a...

It's not that simple. We don't yet know what HDCP will be required for 4k bluray. I have an old 720p plasma that can obviously handle 720p perfectly, but then HDCP came out and my screen wasn't on the list, so can't display HDCP content.

Don't rely on what you see in a shop. The 2nd link also points out that the source the shop uses for the 4k tv will often be a lot better than for their other tvs. And shops are terrible places for tv demonstrations. No one has their living room as bright as a shop, which is why blacks on an...

No it doesn't, you're reading the chart wrong. That's when the full benefit becomes noticeable, ie the point at which you might go to the next technology. 4k on a 50" screen becomes noticeable (compared to 1080p) at about 7 feet, according to that chart. And that's still too close for most...

There is no tv source behind that chart, it's a study about the human eye. The explanation is here: http://carltonbale.com/1080p-does-matter/ What source are you using for your tests, Bluray? I'd be interested to see a blind test of that.

On a related topic, for those wanting the best TV, LG are now selling OLED TVs which is the best technology ever used for a TV - that should be the next TV I get. The tech will improve and prices will come down. Also note, the 4k standard is not finalised yet, so if you get a 4k tv now, there's...

It's not a one off chart, there are other technical studies as well as blind tests too. If you've been watching different tv sets at home, I'm sure there's been more difference that just the tv resolution, so it's difficult to compare.

No, according to the chart I linked to, no human would see the difference between 1080p and 4k at that distance. In fact at 9 feet, you can only just tell the difference between 720p and 1080p (and I expect most people still couldn't tell).

Totally unnecessary IMO. Here's a chart as an example (if you have good eyesight, you need to sit within 6 feet of a 50" screen to be able to tell the difference between 1080p and 4k): http://s3.carltonbale.com/resolution_chart.html

I'm put off by the fact it's 4k, because we don't need 4k and it makes me think it's lacking somewhere else.
