:goodone:Every 5 years the manufacturers want us to buy a new TV. After 3D flopped they lost money big time so rushed out 4K TV's in time for Xmas. A mate working in pcworld warned me about this 9 months ago. The problem is hardly any movies are made in 4K because there's hardly any 4K pro cameras out there. The ones that are available cost a bomb - although no doubt the shops use 4K dem discs. (Strangely I hear the Samsung Note 3 has a 4K camera but I doubt you'll see film pros making Coronation street with one). As for the curved screen I would imagine its more bollocks to get us licking our lips. Thinking about it, how many channels even broadcast HD right now so what's the chance of seeing much in 4K?
I believe its down to the pixel refresh rate. My son has a dedicated PC gaming LCD screen with a 2MS refresh rate and suffers no blurring. I don't know enough technically but believe Plasmas refresh quicker hence the lack of motion blur.Interestingly, in my brief reading, it seems that what we perceive to be motion blur is nowadays more down to "eye-tracking", how the eye and brain work together, than the speed at which pixels can switch or the persistence of pixels. I don't know enough about screen technology, but I wonder if that is the case, why many people still perceive the motion blur to be less on a plasma display than on an LCD display?
