Great video, great roundup, and I agree with your final conclusion.
The transition from traditional television to HD television was very different from any potential transition from HD to 4k. First and foremost because for fifty or so years there had only been one kind of "television." IN 1995 or whatever most people couldn't understand the concept of "HD," and the only way you could explain it was "sharper picture." The concept of a new television format, back then, was truly "out of the box." As almost everyone went through this transition and learned that TV doesn't mean old style TV -- any potential transition to anything new will be vastly easier because consumers grasp the concept of something better.
Next is displays. We're moving into an all new era with lower cost displays across many different kinds of delivery platforms. Unlike in 1995 -- we’re not just talking about television sets you set on a coffee table. Perhaps most interesting are the headsets now in development (they look like futuristic goggles), that create the illusion of a HUGE screen complete with peripheral vision. In many cases these will fit in your jacket and connect to something similar to an ipod. Also, projectors are evolving -- meaning compact consumer projectors that plug into something like an ipod. These can create 80 inch screens -- yet fit in your backpack. THE POINT HERE BEING that delivery is evolving in to new forms -- so any future 4k isn't just about the rectangular boxes you set on a coffee table.
These two concepts -- trained consumers and new delivery formats -- mean an evolution toward 4k will very likely not resemble the tortured transition from SD to HD of the past.
Again, great video!

Thanks! I think this will be very interesting to see especially with OLED coming out for larger displays. Will consumers want 4K or be satisfied with scaled-down 1080p? We'll see.
