It seems the reviewers had more to say...

 

And the Q&A also provided some insight...

 

So sure enough - too much demand...

What's even funnier is their is no transmission cable able to support 4k at 120 hz yet. HDMI only supports 4k resolution at something like 24hz ..... and refresh rate means everything for moving picture quality on LCD. Ever noticed the pixilation on an LCD screen around moving people ?

There also isn't any 4K video being shot in origination.  Most stations that went to HD (reluctantly) are only at 1080 and don't own any 4K cameras.  The 4K thing is nice, but only has merit if someone shoots the vid in 4K first.

Agreed. The technology isn't quite there yet. Most people don't realize that the retailers have special 4k feeds that display on the tv to make it look amazing. Of course you can't get these signals from your TV provider. Granted, HDMI 2.0 is being developed as well as Organic Light Emitting Diode televisions that WILL be worth buying....as soon as the cable companies can catch up.

My friends don't like me when I say you need to sit 3 feet away to enjoy 4k resolution . at the distance of 7 feet it is same as 1080 and at the distance of 12 feet it is as good as 720.

Fuck.

WHO CARES about the technology?

I want to know if it comes with the bridge shown on the screen.

I could own it, and charge a toll for crossing it, and when it became unprofitable, I could pay 4 or 5 dancing Israelis to load up a van full of explosives using 'Urban Moving Systems' vans and get them to 'stall out' in the middle and then blow it up, and then collect the the INSURANCE! Don't bother me with all that 'tech' talk.

Sincerely,

Larry Silverstein

P.S.

I tried to do THAT on the same day as the 'other thing' (with the towers and stuff), but 'New York's Finest' stopped me. Thank GOD for Bernie Kerick!

ALL 'HD' television broadcast in the United States is either 720p or 1080i.

There is NO 1080p broadcast production whatsoever.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-definition_television_in_the_United_St...

 

Absolutely anything being shot in 1080p/3G or 4K is being produced for cinematic release, for Blueray, or for down-conversion to 720p or 1080i broadcast.

Don't even get me started about internet video on demand modulation/compression schemes such as netflix...

....and can move that amount of data from the storage mechanism to the display media, at that desired rate.

My buddy in the digital effects biz isn't even working in 4K. He has 10Gb fiber to his MacPro, but their network backbone still chokes when several people start manipulating files.

Personally, I prefer the FUHD standard for the acronym alone.

Funny, was about to say the same thing. When a sectors economy of scale blow out, or marginal demand is only sold on such gross gimmicks as size for size sake; we must be near a crunch. Since solid state and screens saw a horriffic downturn from 2009-2013 (pre-micron turnaround and samsung shaking down Taiwan), it makes sense that designers like samsung are now drunk on market share. Small design mistakes like that are a hallmark with gimmick luxury builds and imply they either had excess yardage to build some gimmick product line, or are struggling to hit their target business unit gross margin (likely those discount tv's are starting to show through to the next-year earnings). Everyone remembers the fun of the 3DO and betamax, and how those were leading consumer discretionary crunch indicators.

I'd say shorting the techs, specifically the memory chips are a trade idea, but given how piled in the Mo and institutionals are on a 93 recovery, these ultrasize tv's could become a big deal. Particularly if guys like Shiggy at Nintendo are hinting they are moving their products to cater to this market niche.

Still in the market for an Atari Jaguar. If anyone has one, to go with my Miami Vice Ferrari.

Say all you want, but some un-educated Illuminati corporate owned Rap artist probably has this thing bolted to the back of an Escalade with 20" woofers and spinners on the rims....

 

For the price of this thing, I could probably put a team together to put up a projection screen on the moon , then we can use modified DLP lasers to watch foot ball in orbit, imagine the contrast ratio during an eclipse . . .

2 steps out the door, but if you put this idea on kickstarter I know at least 20 guys who would back the shit out of this just to play The Interview on the moon for 7 days non-stop. Tie it into Twitter, have the twitterverse vote to decide what to 'change the channel' to at the end of a 72 hour cycle. Sell advertising time.

Send me top left after a A16z series z round.

It has become some of a sport to write silly reviews on amazon, check out the "Beijing Watch Factory 18K Rose Gold Double Tourbillon Skeletonized" review, yes it exists or google "funny amazon reviews", be sure not to have a drink of something or you will mess up your keyboard/screen.

The comments are all tongue-in-cheek. I don't believe any Amazon client has bought that thing.

BTW, they sometimes have very strange prices, like second-hand books that are tagged absurd sums like $175. For a second-hand paperback copy! When the new copy of the same book goes for $5 with free shipping...

"But two questions remained. Why were they doing this, and how long would it go on before they noticed? As I amusedly watched the price rise every day, I learned that Amazon retailers are increasingly using algorithmic pricing (something Amazon itself does on a large scale), with a number of companies offering pricing algorithms/services to retailers. Both profnath and bordeebook were clearly using automatic pricing – employing algorithms that didn’t have a built-in sanity check on the prices they produced. But the two retailers were clearly employing different strategies."

Thanks.  In hindsight that should have been obvious.  Algos for shares?  Why not algos for everything else?

A couple of times I have tried to buy an old book on the net.  First time it asked over $400.  Second time it asked over $100.

1.  No thanks, at either price I'll do without.
2.  Let that be a lesson:  Never take the first price offered.
3.  Whatever happened to "books on the net are cheaper because they don't need to pay staff and exhorbitant rents at brick-and-mortar books stores"?
