Checked his posts and discovered an angry, argumentative poster with little positive to say.
DVXuser has a category in 'settings' where you can 'Ignore Poster'.

I also took a look. Thanks for the 'settings' info Scott.

also 30K seems excessive for a TV, but if you are building a mini-theater in your house. This could be the way to go!

No, I don't work for Sony. Why I am posting this?

This implies that Sony will now more extensively switch to 4K for consumer cameras, even for consumer p&s cameras.

First cameras to shoot 4K would be $300 p&s cameras.

As long as price for OLED tv is high I do not see the point to change my plasma .
Let me know if you see 50inch OLED 4k for 1000eur :)
 
the 24" 2K OLED is $27,000, the 42" Dolby 2K mon is $39,000... somehow 30K for an 80" seems like a deal if if if.. it's really & truly color accurate in P3...
 
Sounds like a deal. May be a good investment, considering how long it will be before you have to upgrade!

Brilliant analysis, I'm sure it will be every bit as successful as 3D. I find your trickle-up theory of $300 4k cameras especially insightful since Sony doesn't have a 4k camera under $10,000 right now. The FS700 doesn't count since we can actually buy the supposed 4k capability yet.

4k is great for theaters, but its a gimmick for the average consumer that spent the last decade buying 1080p TV's and most have yet to see a 1080p broadcast. The quality is great and can get better once the broadcast pipeline is improved. The average consumer isn't game for another TV upgrade cycle as 3D proved - at least until large (42"+) 4k sets are well under $1000 and that's years away. But by then there will be something better and there will still be little to no benefit over a $700 50" LED 1080p set you can buy today since most movies, TV shows and live sports will NOT be 4k.

Again, brilliant analysis.
 
I seriously hope TV does NOT go to 4K anytime soon. I started my career in TV around 2000, right when the transition from SD to HD was starting. I remember the early HD jobs were BRUTAL since the tech wasn't really there to deal with it.

Right now, computers can comfortably handle 2K, but 4K would require serious upgrades on the part of studios, and since the TV production industry upgrades at a slow pace, it would take a really long time before TVs are broadcasted in 4K. Lots of content is still not broadcasted in HD at this point.

Furthermore, unless you have a huge TV and sit pretty close, I don't think most people would notice the difference between 2K and 4K.

The post workflow for 4K just makes me shutter with fear.

But I do think 4K is really useful on cameras for re-cropping and green screen
 
8K television broadcasting is set to begin by 2016 so 4K will not be too far off. 8K only requires 2 UHF channels. 1080p cameras are being converted over to 4K using pixel shifting technology.
 
I used to be impressed with 1080P HD, but it's already looking not good nuff. And I'm not a picky person.
 
Well the JVC prosumer 4k camcorder is supposed to retail for around $5k. So while $300 is far off, I can see $1500-$2000 being feasible for a handicam style 4k camcorder.

Really? Sony is releasing a $30,000 4K TV set and that implies that they will 'now extensively switch to
4K for $300 consumer cameras'? I think I am missing something here.....(aside from the fact that ANYONE
could be foolish enough to pay 30 grand for a FREAKING TV SET!!)

Yes $ 30,000. is a lot of money but consider that an HD monitor would have cost $ 10,000 to $ 12,000 in the 1980's for a 28" and people bought them. So pehaps $30,000 today for an 80 inch 4K is not out of line. Someone will buy them and prices will come down.

no HD mon's in the 80's, by the very end of the 90's i bought a Sony BVM32D for $64,000 at the 2000 NAB for one of the first HD facilities i set up.

The Sony 24" OLED BVM is $27,000, and the Dolby PR4200 is $39,000.. these are the only 2K/P3 mons on earth today, a class of two... if there is a 80" 4K / P3 mon for 30K, that's a great deal
