Sony 4K

[r***@optonline.net]

Does anyone have any experience with the new Sony 4K super hi-res TV? I was
looking at them online the other day. I have to stop at my local store to see
one in person, but I wondered if they're all that much better resolution than a
regular 1080P set? Also, do they use a new kind of media in the way of DVD's to
get that kind of resolution or will a standard or Blu-ray disk play at the super
hi res? Thanks.

they upscale what you feed them but it's no substitute for proper 4k
material - after all connecting a vcr to your hdtv doesn't make the vcr
hd quality.
sony plans to launch an device that will download 4k movies via the
internet and only work with sony 4k televisions.

Agreed. What I'm wondering is how it upscales 720p used by ESPN, ABC & FOX
compared to a 1080p TV. In theory upscaling 720 x 3 should be easier than
taking it up by 1.5 but the proof is in the viewing.

I would compare it to connecting a DVD to your HDTV as NTSC vcrs are
notorious for fuzzy pictures especially with the puny chroma bandpass they
were given with color under. Even S-VHS suffers from low bandwidth chroma
though its increased luminance does make up a bit of lost ground over
regular VHS.

I see other venders coming out with the soon to be standard 4k signal and
believe with the emergence of G4 and fiber that physical media is going the
way of the 78rpm record.

P.S.: I didn't say 33 and 45 because they're still around. Hmmm ;-)

So what does this mean for the nearly 400 DVD's I have collected, many now in
Blu-ray? Will I see them in spectacular 4K or shouldn't I bother? Will all or
most HD TV stations show up better than my Sony Bravia now?

Wait until the holodeck becomes reality. You ain't seen nothin' yet.

The point is you really won't see the difference unless you have a source of 4k content.
Otherwise, it could very well be that your current TV is good enough in comparison for
standard DVDs, OTA and cable/sat HDTV and Blu-Ray content.

you won't be seeing 4k material - you'll be seeing 1080p material on a
nice big screen - and presumably it will be a high quality tv so will
look great anyway.
it just won't look as great as 4k stuff will.

Some new screens will interpolate pixels, so your video will look better even if
larger...

How do your DVDs look on your 1080p TV? I'm guessing on a 4k your Blu-rays
will have a simmilar upgrade while your DVDs (on 4k) will look a bit better
than they look on 1080p.

This is with your Blu-ray player hooked to a 4k with 1080p out, I can't say
how a 4k disk player playing DVSs or Blu-rays will look though IMHO you'll
get a step-up from the Blu-ray player WRT DVD & BR.
