I wonder when people are going to start getting tired of the format/resolution merry-go-round especially when it will not even be utilized by most. 8K has been in development for years so I wouldn't be surprised to see 8K TVs and disc player in 2 or 3 years. Then 16K next and we'll have to up our internet speed each time along with buying new TVs, disc player, etc. When either OLED or Quantum Dot have been fully sorted out I will be perfectly content with either one in 1080p.

Viewing a Best Buy demo of a Samsung curved-screen Ultra HD (4K) TV, fed by a 4K server, I was not impressed. Once I moved back about four feet from the screen, the picture did not appear to be any better than 1080p.
If future Ultra HD Blu-ray discs displayed on an OLED TV (I dislike LCD televisions, strongly preferring plasma) do not impress me at in-store demos, I will not upgrade my video systems until they self-destruct.
Having been on the home-theater format merry-go-round since the advent of VHS and LaserDisc, I, too, am weary of replacing movies and AV components.
In a few short years, this same discussion will repeat itself when home-theater hardware and software companies tell us their all-new format is far superior to Ultra HD. Will it be called Super-Duper Ultra HD?
