No stereoscopic ability = no sale.    Posted:   Oct 10, 2018 - 6:17 PM     By:   Sirusjr   (Member) Reading about it elsewhere, it is all about making an option for massive screens. “People want larger screens at home,” said Sascha Lange, VP Marketing & Sales at Sharp, who thinks the only limitation on TV sizes is resolution, hence the drive for 8K. “The pixel density of a 64-inch 4K TV is exactly the same as a 32-inch Full HD TV,” he said. “And a 120-inch 8K TV also has exactly the same pixel density as a 32-inch Full HD TV.” https://www.techradar.com/news/do-we-really-need-8k-tvs-yet It will also help make it possible for VR headsets to have the pixel density necessary for people to no longer see the pixels. But yes like others here I still have not yet upgraded my home TV from the 720p TV that I use now at around 35 inches. Works plenty good for my needs.    Posted:   Oct 11, 2018 - 2:36 AM     By:   MusicMad   (Member) 8K TV on the horizon? You'd have thought with that clarity I should be able to see one! We bought our present screen - 42" Plasma - in 2010 and the literature suggested that with our normal viewing habits we could expect the screen to last about 50yrs. Based on that I don't expect to be looking for a new screen ... just yet. Mitch    Posted:   Oct 11, 2018 - 3:00 AM     By:   Rameau   (Member) Yup, Plasma's no more. When my 47" Panasonic Plasma gives up the ghost, I'm going to have to get used to a different kind of picture, maybe OLED, but that's hopefully a long way off, my telly might even outlive me.    Posted:   Oct 11, 2018 - 5:04 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) We bought our present screen - 42" Plasma - in 2010 and the literature suggested that with our normal viewing habits we could expect the screen to last about 50yrs. Yes, my friend - but where's the fun in that!    Posted:   Oct 11, 2018 - 5:29 AM     By:   Mr Greg   (Member) I'll stick with my 3D set for the time being!!    Posted:   Oct 11, 2018 - 5:48 AM     By:   MusicMad   (Member) We bought our present screen - 42" Plasma - in 2010 and the literature suggested that with our normal viewing habits we could expect the screen to last about 50yrs. Yes, my friend - but where's the fun in that! Well, if you'd like to talk it through with my better-half, maybe we could look at replacing the screen before 2060 ... My darling allows me to spend on Hi-Fi (and even admits to hearing the better quality sound ) but, as yet, the "V" part of "AV" is stuck well in the past (the screen was already old, being end-of-line, when we bought it).

Mitch You need a strategem. With us, it was "Babe, just imagine how much better you'd be able to see Aiden whatsisface in Poldark with a 4k TV..." After that, she was putty in my hands!    Posted:   Oct 11, 2018 - 9:01 AM     By:   Khan   (Member) I welcome 8K so long as it has a 3D function. No stereoscopic ability = no sale. So you're probably never going to buy a TV again? In home 3D is dead on pretty much all new televisions.    Posted:   Oct 11, 2018 - 9:05 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Meanwhile, two years ago I finally got a TV with a USB port. My tv is a big box effort from 20 years ago. As wide as it is deep. Never had a day of trouble with it. Columbo looks ace on it. I miss the days when, say, a Zenith television required four sober, able-bodied, bell-bottom-wearing adults to move it.    Posted:   Oct 11, 2018 - 9:26 AM     By:   Sirusjr   (Member) We bought our present screen - 42" Plasma - in 2010 and the literature suggested that with our normal viewing habits we could expect the screen to last about 50yrs.

Mitch My husband is regularly saying we need to get rid of my speakers (nice big towers) because they are in the way. Not happening btw. Though for me the sound is more important than the picture being that detailed so I'm fine with my current setup.    Posted:   Oct 11, 2018 - 10:35 AM     By:   jackfu   (Member) Will my Betamax tapes look better with it?    Posted:   Oct 11, 2018 - 1:04 PM     By:   Thgil   (Member) I'm fine with 2K; thanks.    Posted:   Oct 11, 2018 - 3:55 PM     By:   MusicMad   (Member) ...

Thanks, TG, but since we haven't a clue who Aiden whatsisface is ... I've no chance. Anyhow, I think a new centre speaker is probably ahead of a new screen ... I struggle to follow the dialogue in these modern TV programmes/films.
