I finally picked up a new tv for my bedroom. Its a Samsung, UHD 4k, 43 inch. The wife and I are are having some trouble getting use to watching it. The resolution is great, but almost too great. All of our other Tvs are 1080. Anyone else having trouble adjusting? I thought the football games were great but movies seem to be the more diffficult to adjust too.

Some guys here might not know what you are talking about. They still watch the local antenna channels on a 19" black and white. The one with a metal coat hanger for an antenna and a pair of pliers to grab the knob stud to change channels.

And the new one sits on top of the old TV cabinet.

I am in shock with the picture quality, and It was only about $275.

Wait a week and the new ones will be twice as clear at half the price .

 

[Walleyze247]

I dont want twice as clear Thirty Pionter. I could not handle it.

Do you mean I have to tell my wife to let go of the coat hanger, turn off the TV and get in bed?

How do you even see a 43" TV?

 

[walleyemagic]

I know what you mean, I have a 12 year old 55" 1080 and when I'm somewhere else watching a movie it is so clear it seems like a home movie,has a whole different feel. Just looks weird to me

 

[CrawlerHarness]

Just a hint to improving picture quality on any of the 1080 TV's........hook it up to an old antenna. Watching a NFL game on that picture quality will amaze you.

The standard signal from Cable and Dish basically suck. As does watching DVD's. Hook up a Blu-Ray player.

Not sure about the 4K and UHD TV's that Walleye posted though. I didn't think there was any 4K signals available yet.

I hear a news item a while back about a school in Hawai'i offering a course remotely in a South sea location (Tonga?). The interesting part was not that they used cameras and a screen, but that they were doing it with holographic images.

Just think in a few years you may be able to watch holographic movies etc. Just think about how cool a live basketball game would be holographic projected in your livingroom.

I want my own holodeck.

The deck on my boat is solid.

Be Careful, those new "smart TV's" listen to everything that is going on in your house, and pass judgement on you.

Can they listen to you if you don't connect them to your router or computer?

The government has been spying on people through their TVs since television was invented. Before that, the government used radio.

 

[PerchPatrol]

And before that, the telegraph.

I just turn off all networking and smart features. The set top boxes I use do much more anyway.
