15 years after HD, 90% of my broadcasts are still 720p. And now we're onto 8k? 🙄
Broadcast TV must be 720 by law so it is broadly compatible with digital broadcasts. Streaming doesn't have this restriction so 4K is widely used and 8K will come.

OLED is DOA. MicroLED is where its heading and I hope they will push it fast as I really don't like OLED in general. Too many issues![]()
Well pretty sure channels like 7Two and 7Mate are still in SD. We are getting there slowly I must admit.Not really sure what you mean.
All Australian primary free to air channels broadcast in 720/1080. Cable channels are 1080 along with 4K for movies and sports while you can stream most of the free to air and cable channels at 720/1080 as well.
Yeah, I would definitely prefer a MicroLED display. I hate worrying about burn-in, but with a TV I don't leave it on all the time, and am conscious of static images for long term use, so and OLED is fine for me in that application.

The difference in quality between OLED and most LED is huge. Local dimming is OK, but just isn’t in the same league.Yeah, I know. I bought TV last year (Sony 900F 65") and for a second I did consider OLED but in the end decided against it. LCD is just proved technology and although OLED has some advantages (pure blacks) the local dimming we get these days is not that bad so I decided to not babysit my TV and get something that is solid.
MicroLED will be awesome but that is at least 5 years away from any reasonable level (if not longer).
OLED was a misstep tech to be honest.

About the only babysitting you need for OLED is not to leave the TV on the same cable channel news ticker or same video game HUD 12 hours a day.
FTA is a reality TV wasteland. I will not be basing my TV purchase decisions on FTS. I stream or bluray.Well pretty sure channels like 7Two and 7Mate are still in SD. We are getting there slowly I must admit.
Sure, but my point was to specifically address resolution. 8K is all but useless when most content is still mastered at 2K.2K movies released as 4K discs often look better than 2K discs upscaled. One big reason is HDR.
That is only an issue with small OLED screens, where the OLED subpixels produce different colors. All current consumer OLED TV’s use only white subpixels, but put a color filter in front of each subpixel.True, but OLED doesn't age as well as LCD. For example the blue channel dies faster so it creates imbalance.
For a tv that i want to keep for 7+ years I want longevity
Otherwise I agree with you![]()
You can't directly compare bitrate to bitrate because 4K is compressed in HEVC (or VP9 for Google) and 1080p traditionally has been in H.264. Conversely, 4K comes with HDR 10 and 12 bit formats, and complex sound like Dolby Atmos.
Similarly, we're going to see 8K adopting newer compression like VVC.
Any film made or remastered in the last 4-5 years is going to be available in 4K. Similar situation with video games, 4K consoles came out in 2017.
What will these cost?
Where is the Apple TV app for WebOS???![]()
UltraHD resolution is more than adequate for a 43"-50" television...8K is complete overkill and not cost efficient for manufacturers.Why can't they make a nice 46" TV? I do not want a 65" TV its too freaking big!
I agree. I stick with my DVDs and Blu-Rays and Streaming. Only watch TV if it's sports.FTA is a reality TV wasteland. I will not be basing my TV purchase decisions on FTS. I stream or bluray.
the embarrassment that is the Australian media Industry, much of which I am forced to pay for through taxes, can just get stuffed.
When are they adding AirPlay + AppleTV to the C7?
I wonder what homekit support means. If they got Apple to agree to let them use the TV as a homekit hub, does that mean they had to remove all the advertising from the menus and data collection?
