Well if you thought USD 10 000 was a bit steep for a new OLED TV
which only does fully HD 1920x1080p, the first 4k ultra HD TVs
are on the way at a mere USD 25 000

Time to start saving those pennies, or just get a credit card limit extension,
and think of taking that recently purchased now obsolete flat screen TV to
the land fill ...

Oh wonderful, Snookie will look so much... something, in 4K.
Perhaps better resolution will make ugliness less desireable on TV.

Even harder work for the makeup artists to hide ageing movie, rock,
and TV stars' wrinkles.

Even more of the vain celebrities will insist on soft-focus
lens being used.

all the 4k televisions i've seen so far don't accept a 4k input - which
is ridiculous.
if i got one, the first thing i'd want to do is hook up my pc - at the
native resolution of the tv.
takes me back to the first 1080p set on the uk market - a sharp lcd, and
that wouldn't accept a 1080p input.

Well in the photograph and report of the one at CES, it was hooked up
to a Red Ray player.

And in Europe, the first UHD TV service has now been launched from
Eutelsat 10A on 11,304 GHz Horizontal transponder C6.

SES Astra are a little late in their planning.
