I recall having Todd Anderson ask the experts at Robert’s TV Shootout why manufacturers were pushing 8K on consumers when 4K wasn’t fully utilized yet and there were many issues that needed to be resolved before moving up. While I cannot recall the exact answer, I do recall thinking it was a complete cop out on their part. It kinda seemed like they thought the question was silly?
Anyways, fast forward to today when I got around to reading up on what’s new for this year in display technology and I see this:
It kind of reminds me right when 3D came out and I said it was a fad that would die, well before pretty much everyone, and someone big in the industry got into it with me at HTS more or less telling me I was an incompetent fool. In the same article from above comes this as well:
This article was from RTINGS - link. They are probably one of the few reputable places left for unbiased reviews. They’ve expanded quite a bit since they started and there are areas I wish they’d cover that they don’t, ie projectors.
The point I’m trying to make here is that sometimes you need to just step back and look at things with an open mind and make sense of it. All it really takes is common sense. Did the person pushing this $5-25K product get it at a discount to push it? And I think that is mostly lost in the industry of late. I had 4 more paragraphs typed up but I think I’ve off enough people for now.
