That is simple math. The distance being able to resolve the light of two parallel circles of light of a specific diameter.
Is Dish planning on more HD channels, like Oxygen?

Hell I'm still on Plasma and it looks better than my 32" LCD in the bedroom.
NASA is available in 4K, but Dish doesn't even offer it in HD.
i love my old plasma tv. its a 50lb, 42 inch samsung i got back in 2009 still has an amazing picture and its 720p.
Yes NASA is available in 4K but streaming only. DirecTV is SD only as well for their channel.
The official C-band broadcast is available in both HD and 4K, I'm told. (I don't have a C-band dish.) But that's actually irrelevant to my point -- even if the higher resolutions were available only by streaming, they're still linear broadcasts, as far as I know, so small-dish providers could pick them up that way if they wanted.
To me, plasmas always looked like a bunch of dots. The the latest models (Panasonic?) came out and they looked great. And were driven from the market. First, they didn’t see going to UHD or even doing well at HD, cost wise. Second, true or not, California instituted energy efficiency requirements for all TVs. Plasmas took too much energy.
Or did they? Maybe it was the threat of further energy rules.
I still remember a sales critter in BB telling a custy that he’d have to recharge the plasma every now and then. SWMBO restrained me. Physically pushed me out the store. I wonder how much THAT nonsense helped with the demise of what became a great technology, with unmatched blacks (means more than you may think). I hear some of these still go for premium prices on eBay.

LOL you, too? Bought mine at Sam's Club, used it in my bedroom at my old place for 12 years and couldn't use it at my new place so my Mom asked if she could have it
And if you can afford a 75 inch 8k tv and have a large enough space to hang it or set it up.
Most tvs come without speakers..the old style bigones...not really as large as it sounds
Isn’t a TV without speakers called a monitor?
Even if it is just a flat pane of glass, with no border around it, you still need a wall with enough free space to hold a 75-inch diagonal screen.
My 65 inch lcd is only slightly bigger than my 52 inch dlp( rear screen projection with large speakers)... I did have to add a sound bar with sub wolfer sound system.. its not as bad as the size makes it sound
To clarify, it has speakers but they're weak.
I wish they would just provide speaker terminals. I opened up the TV in the bedroom and wired in a small set of external speakers, sounds so much better than the internals. Didn't need anything elaborate in there, but it's nice to be able to hear the news or late show clearly when in bed.
