Thanks Mylenium,
 
I will read Stu’s article.
 
They recently started advertising a 4K TV for sale on UK television, so I was thinking, what would they be able to use it for at the moment.
 
Thanks,
 
Anders

You might want to read Stu Maschwitz' "4k in the home" article or so.... It won't necessarily be better in terms what you actually will see and so far no major broadcaster has announced any firm plans. I believe they will use it to some effect during the soccer world championships for crop & pan to HD, but beyond that I would think 4k will be mostly a production format for some time. It's kind this weird situation where on a reasonably sized home screen you won't be able to see much of a difference because your eye can't keep up and compression will eradicate some of the sharpness while at the same time only so many people will even have a flat/ condo/ room in their house where they could sit far enough from the screen to actually draw benefits from 4k. Stu nails those points perfectly...

Hi,
I am curious to know when you think 4K TV will become popular and when/what channels and what TV boxes will actually start broadcasting 4K.
I am also curious on how you would buy a 4K film, what home use formats and players would support this at the moment if any?
Same with internet/YouTube, when do you think something better than 1080p will be an option?
I have two reasons for asking this: 1) When is it time to consider making my animations in 4K, 2) when would it be any idea to upgrade my TV from a 1080p to a 4K tv.
Thanks
