Or the waste and duplication of bandwidth.
In a perfect world, obviously not this one though, you'd broadcast at 1 resolution and have the STB do all the scaling. I know, that's asking quite a lot but that's the only way progress will be made.
Or the waste and duplication of bandwidth.
Real world: Perceptive differences between 4K & HD are minimal if not nonexistent for the average consumer. Ten years from now? Maybe. Five years? Not a chance. In fact, I suspect 4KTV will not make the market, outside of advanced Blu-Ray discs. Gilding the lily.
Mike,
They will come down in price, the first plasma I saw was 480p, 42" and 14,000.
I've seen 4k and it's awesome, but I don't know how long it will take for any meaningful content to be available.

A lot of the problem is that you need a big screen and to be close to really see the pixels. I would say the vast majority of living rooms do not have a large enough TV to be able to see the 4k advantage. If you are 10 feet away from the TV you need to have a 75" TV to start to see more than 1080p.
I can tell the diff between 1080p and 720p on a 20" LCD Panel at 8 foot away,
They're working on the Holosuite, too.
