Hi,
I would like to start this thread as many people are thinking about it.
There seems to be is a general lack of content for 4K unless one shoots their own digital content.
Netflix and other providers originally promised to support 4K but then backed away. TV Broadcasting
is going to 4K next year (2017) in Japan, and I think US will follow.
It seems to me that 4K with various versions of HDR is being pushed on us by Japan TV vendors such as Sony and Panasonic as their TV divisions have not made any profit in last 8 years.
The best 4K Tvs (Oled and HDR) seem way overpriced.
Many prominent film directors such as Martin Scorsese have vowed not to shoot in 4K digital. The latest reports I've seen point to only 6K and 8K television being the equal of 35mm Film - all
aspects considered.
Thanks,
Don
