I watched a demo setup for a Sony 4k TV. It was ~60" IIRC and the differences in scenes from a few movies were subtle but noticeable when I was standing about 4 feet away. The difference in text was pretty big though.
I think everyone will have relatively large 4k displays eventually, but can't imagine paying 2-3x the cost (for now) for something that is only 60-70". I doubt you could tell the difference for movies/TVs unless they were side by side at that size (or you were sitting a only a few feet away). As a computer monitor though, it's a huge difference I think.
- timthorn 13y agoI've got to disagree - "only" 60-70" is massive for many properties. I might want a 50" screen just because, but it just won't fit in my house.
- gibybo 13y ago30" used to be massive too, but TVs has steadily gotten bigger and now 30" seems absurdly small. TVs used to fit in 25" holes in entertainment centers, then in small nooks in walls and corners. They will continue to take up larger portions of walls and people will adapt to accommodate them. I'm sure there's a limit at some point, but I have a 160" (~13 feet) screen and have found room for it in every apartment and house that I've lived in (which is half a dozen or so).
