No one said, but there is still pathetically little live 4K content. And consoles aren't real 4K yet either.

I'd honestly prefer 480p porn over 4K for this reason.

I remember when people whined that 1080p porn would show you their crabs.

Or time delayed "live tv". I think he basically means cable or cable substitutes. There isn't much streaming in 4k. Relatively.

"They're still expensive, and you probably won't notice the extra pixels anyway."
"Oh, they're cheap now. May as well."

Apple really shook the home movie industry with their free 4K upgrades to movies.

Google Play, Amazon and Vudu are struggling right now trying to compete in that regard but they just can't. They've lowered prices to match Apple, but it still requires another $20-$30 investment whereas Apple is upgrading everything for free.

In a few months, all movies should have 4K for free once the other cheapos stop being cheap, so that'll speed up adoption insanely.

4k is actually relatively close to blu-ray and 1080p in terms of logical appreciation of technology. 3D TVs were a fad. 4k isn't a fad, but isn't worth buying into right now.

I don't remember anyone saying 4K would be a fad.

However, I'd rather have 60 fps on the new xbox than 4k.


Also what she said. I value performance over graphics any day, and wish that developers felt the same.

Do most games not have an option to switch between 1080p @ 60FPS and 4k @ 30FPS?

Outside PCs, sometimes because devs are just too lazy for that shit.

The video game industry has turned into shit. It's funny they keep getting worse whereas movie companies are getting better at it. Fear of piracy got them allowing moviepass to take off and just yesterday, a new service called movies anywhere, which means it syncs your movies to every service. Plus they give out free digital codes in every Blu Ray. Video game companies would have a heart attack even thinking about that.

Bought Lego Batman for $2.50 on Amazon and it's nicely synced in Google Play for free.
