Mark Berkowitz Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 When I bought my first 4K TV back in 2013, there was hardly any 4K content at all to watch, but now I’m finally able to watch loads of 4K movies and TV shows. Now that we’ve reached the age of the 8K TV, I’m just wondering if it will take a very long time to get a sufficient amount of content to justify the purchase of upgrading to 8K. I think that I’m just gonna wait and see, and also look for the prices to come down. At one time, I was an early adopter, but times and experiences have changed my perspective. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most stations are still 480p I'm still going through the culture shock of watching Filipino TV in HD/1080p on the Filipino Channel since I never had HD in the Phils. Plus, for what's it's worth, it's subtitled in English over here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary D Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 I look at 8k as being a halfway house just like 720p was. I'd wait a bit longer for the real thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimeve Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Satellite TV uses 1080i over here, are at least mine does. (Cignal) Still has the same pixels but one is interlaced and the other p, progressive scan. Can't see any difference TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what any of it means and don't really want to. I have a 39 inch TCL LED tv that I can watch whatever programs I wan't via USB that I download from the internet. Maybe I'm old fashioned? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just keep showing the same thing over and over again in a loop and hope we don't notice it. That's why I download the stuff I want to watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
