Does the new Apple TV have a fan? The new Roku does and is getting ripped for how loud it is.

No. It's basically iPhone 6 (A8) in a box.

Damn, if the Roku 4 has an audible fan that's kills it for me. Is that also the case with the new Fire TV?

Anybody buying 4 K sets now are in for a big shock over the next few months. HDR is being released and that format is already embraced by Netflix and other streaming companies. Most people don't have the bandwidth for real 4K and HDR solves that problem.

I agree. But HDR (high dynamic range) is not really going to be a new "format". Check out some dolby vision articles and you'll see how they are using HDR. Pretty amazing stuff!

People are wasting money on 4K tvs. and they don't even realize it. It is the biggest waste of money and anyone who thinks otherwise has no clue what they are talking about. Big things are happening...Soon. And within 6-8 months all these new fangled UHD 4k's will pale in comparison.

A lot of stuff Dolby present is just used as references. I don't think there will be anything in 6-8 months that can beat 4K. 4K does not beat 1080p as it is because there are 1080p tv's that show better than some 4K tv's. I think oled technology is the future.

I also think they should bring back 3D where you don't need to wear glasses. You can simply look at the tv and see the depth of different objects on the screen. Kind of like those paintings that look like a real foreground and background.

I think this resolution war is not the answer to the future of the best picture on tv. It's the same as the megapixel war that goes on till this date. There are lower megapixel cameras that take better pictures than the higher megapixel ones. Also with some of the higher megapixel ones that do take the better image, you need a large monitor, view at 100% crop or a print out to see the difference. Just like with tv's you really need a larger tv and sit up close to see the quality difference with 4K.

I don't think we'll be seeing tons of 70" and bigger 4K tv's flying off the shelves any time soon. 4K content as is also scarse.
