Humongously big 4K TVs

[DRuM]

I'd sure like one of these. Pics I took don't do justice but I was mesmerised in the shop (John Lewis) at the truly amazing clarity of the UHD image. Just really, really beautiful to watch and the huge screen sucks you in. It does 3D too. Nice price eh.




But then there's this. It says I can't add to basket, so I didn't

Maybe I'm silly, but I think if you pay £100,000 in tax when you buy your TV, you shouldn't have to pay for a TV licence.

I heard there's an even better screen than this 152" plasma fuck, it's called going outside and canoeing across a fucking lake. FFS, what is with people? :\

[DTS]

I think they want their own cinema but can't afford one.

makes their e-penis look a little bigger

I found this the other day and didn't feel like posting it, but since we are on the subject...

84-inch XBR-84X900 ... list price of $25,000
...
Of course, the emergence of 4K in the consumer marketplace is a chicken-and-egg problem—the display is only half the battle. You also need content at a native resolution of 4K, or else you must settle for viewing upconverted 1080p and your own digital photos.


Addressing this issue head on, Sony announced that the XBR-84X900 will ship with a PC-based media server called the 4K Ultra High Definition Video Player. Not only that, the server will come loaded with 10 feature films such as The Amazing Spider-Man, Total Recall (the new remake), and The Bridge on the River Kwai, as well as several indie movies and shorts and a video gallery of eye-candy footage.

Even better, Sony will continue to periodically provide new 4K content on Blu-ray data discs that can be loaded onto the server, and these titles will be free of charge to owners of the TV. The company will also install the system and load the new content as it becomes available, again for no extra charge.


Naturally, all this content will come from Sony Pictures and its partners. No other consumer-electronics company has its own movie studio, giving Sony a distinct advantage over the competition. Still, one can hope that other studios will release 4K titles that can be loaded onto the Sony server—and that Sony will let them be loaded onto the server.

Actually, I think you'll find it makes the picture on the screen look bigger. Milla Jovavich will look bigger and more detailed in The Fifth Element, for example (when she's lying down naked fiull screen). Saw it in the cinema. The opera with the world behind it (in that same film) will look bigger. The Empirial Star Destroyer in Star Wars Episode IV will look bigger, the Death Star will look bigger "that's too big to be a space station", etc, etc....

i bet at least a dozen saudi princes have ordered these custom-made in gold

[scared?]

Lol poor ppl...

Back to the Future remake:

Marty McFly's Granddad: Do you have a 4k TV in your house?

Marty McFly: Oh, we have 3.

What's the point of 4x the 1080p resolution if no media will be created in the format for years? It won't be any clearer than a 1080p. It's the same amount of information.

(Media has already been created in the format.)

[Psyche911]

Ten movies of their selection and periodic updates of their selection really doesn't count...

[EtUL]

it's not for regular people.

[Psyche911]

How much more regular can you get than Spiderman?

[LawL]

Lol poor ppl...

[menkent]

couldn't you get a 4k digital projector for far, far less than that?

Wait, are you seriously trying to debate here whether or not a bigger screen makes things displayed on that screen look bigger? I'd say that's a given, considering the screen is, you know, bigger....

8k is where its at, DRuM

No I ain't trying to debate, you fucktard.

I was saying Milla Jovavich wil make your real dick "bigger", none of this "e-penis" BS. It's as if you ignored the fact that I was replying to SoM's post

8k is where its at, DRuM

You may be right about 8k, cause 4k you get 1080p 3D, 8k you'd get 4k 3D

[bitWISE]

That's not how it works unless you have some cheap stereovision stuff. 3D just runs at a higher framerate to slip in the extra frames for each eye.

[DTS]

I think that's the difference between active 3D and passive 3D right there. Passive is said to be better apart from the lower res amIrght?

[bitWISE]

Sorry, you were actually right. Passive 3D does cut out half the vertical resolution. I'm used to the active setup I have.

this is a valid point. If I wanted to see some robots fighting in the streets of a suburb, or Spiderman soaring between skyscrapers in Manhattan I would fucking go outside and witness it for myself. you bunch of morons.
