I nlike the way they include gold-plated HDMi leads. Presumably they think if you'll spend £6,000+ on a telly you'll buy anyrhing.

Until they start bringing out Super HD sources this won't have any advantage over a 1080 set except as a computer monitor.
Not even sure if that resolution would be supported by most computer graphics cards? 'tis the future though, and points to the time when a large screen in the lounge is used for more than just TV IMO. |

Any higher resolution would just require viewing even closer, and make SD too poor to watch. |

On demestic sets, anything over 1080 is a waste. You are getting to a point where the human eye wont be able to see the difference. A bit like saying your inkjet printer has 2,880dpi so it must be better than one with 1,200dpi. Well yes it is, but you need an eye glass to see the difference.
There is no broadcast of super/ultra hd discs anyway. |

 It's an utterly ridiculous piece of equipment but I'm sure a few gullible millionnaires or "up with the Jones's" technophiles will buy one. As for the 3D thing, well there's another gimmick, needing glasses or not. Give me a 55 inch 1920x1080 OLED TV and 2D material, any day of the week. Or a plain old 55 inch Panasonic plasma for a third of the cost.

Whether broadcasts will ever get up to this level is another matter, but disks or downloads may eventually be available in super or ultra HD. And there's no reason SD would look any worse on this than on a 1080 set of the same size, because the resolution is just being scaled up. I have my computer connected to a 23" 1080 monitor and to my 40" 1080 TV, and the desktop looks better on the 23" because the pixels are smaller, and the text looks smoother. On the 40" you can see the pixelsthat make up the text and images. So if you scaled that up to 55" the pixels would look comparatively huge at 1920x1080. I suspect the likes of gamers will fuel a demand for large super (ultra) high def displays, even if it makes little difference for normal telly viewing. Having said that, it'll only be a niche market until the price comes below £1000. |

dont forget all that extra bandwidth needed. Tricky enough on satellite and cable, but as for Freeview....a move to super/ultra hd might be a step to far.

To think, I saw my first demo of Ultra-HD when I was over in Japan nearly seven years ago....

considering the small number of HD channels, should we not get all the current SD ones to current HD standard first, before rolling out further high-end HD options.

3840x2160 is QFHD (Quad Full) not 'Super'. Nice to know Currys can't even get the name of the resolution right.

I prefer OLED. I think all these hds mentioned above, ultra hd, super hd and other whatever hds have enough picture quality to watch a nice movie. Also I think that almost all well known brands have similar technical power so it will be difficult to differentiate them just by saying picture quality, frame rate, etc. But I think LG’s OLED has better design. It is remarkably thin and gorgeous. It will decorate my living room well.
