I was wrong, I misread a biased story on 4k some time ago and it stuck with me. You are all right.... BTW, idk about you, but when I was reading realist perspectives from political scientists like John Mearsheimer they were much older than a few months...

"At 2160p, 4K UHDTV is DOUBLE the resolution of the current 1080p Full HD standard. So at 3840 x 2160, it's twice as wide, twice as tallwith an 8.3MP image that's quadruple the 2.1MP image found on current HD. Interestingly, the term "4K" actually refers to the horizontal pixel count, even though the industry standard counts along the vertical axis."
4K is viewable right infront of the screen since it's "pixelless".[QUOTE="5SI-GonePostal"]
People are missing the logistics - 4k or Ultra TVs where shown last year at CES as well, now why arent they getting mass produced or taking off? Well 1st of all no one is going to make mainstream 4k stuff for a while so its all going to be upscaled until then, most movies/tv stations have only just upgraded to 1080 they arent going to change again anytime soon, this along with sat and cable companies wont use up more bandwidth. Secondly i think i read somewhere that TVs need to really be over 80" for 4k to become viable as there are really only so many pixels you can have in 1 inch square before it doesnt matter or you see so little difference.

Sharp is already mass producing a 32 inch for 5000USD
Video cards support it
Games support it
Mid-high A/V receivers fully support it (Mine does)
Cable and sat content is already available in europe (where i currently live)
movies will all be streamed with 500mbps internet connection.

Im not shure you know what you're taliking about i guess.....
Plus im talking about monitors......NOT TVs.....according to you my 1920x1200 monitor, i'm looking to upgrade from the looks of this thread, shouldnt exist since "there is no content for it."
4k is DOUBLE not 4x the res of hd... The gpu power required to max a top notch game at 4k is insane at the moment. There is almost NO 4k content outside of some tech show demos... I am not sure you really know what you are talking about.2013 will see the release of Haswell, 700 series cards, and cheaper ssd prices. But Haswell will still be 22nm, only include partial integration of circuits, and highly likely to be a deadend in terms of future upgrades within the socket. The 700 series is simply a reash of the 600 series and likely to only give a 15% improvement. SSD prices continue to fall and recent releases of products like the Samsung 840 pro has greatly reduced write times. However games can take up 20gbs... and a 512gb ssd is still out of reach for most.
2014 will see the release of Broadwell which will highly likely support DDR4 ram, highly likely include a socket that is upgradeable to skylake, be 14nms and use less power and be more overclockable, and include complete integration. The 800 series will see the release of maxwell and be a true upgrade from the Kepler core. DDR4 ram will finally be out and use far less power. 1tb SSDs will be able to replace physical hard drives for the vaste majority of gamers... sure we will still need a nice 2 or 3tb drive for backups and mass storage of photos, videos, etc... but all of our software will get put on an SSD. 4k monitors will also just now be hitting the market at prices that are fairly reasonable. Finally, with the release of the ps4 and xbox 720... games will finally be ready to move beyond 360 and ps3 ports.
So until 2014, I think my 1055t 460ti system will held up fine.
He is right for the most part, that is why copyright lawyers do their best to try to argue that product names not become a common word... because if they do the copyright can't be extending and thus ends.[QUOTE="yachtboy"][QUOTE="GummiRaccoon"]
are you telling me most people call cola; coke, tissues; kleenex, a portable tape player; walkman?

Are you joking? Companies would love for their brand to be synonymous with a certain product category.
Synonymous is good to a point... but once it becomes a generic term you lose your copyright. The fact that coke manages to do it is a testament to how important good lawyers are in a business. But seriously, check out U.S. copyright laws... My last year in uni I took a media law class and copyrights was one of the big three things they went on and on about. EDIT: Forgot to give an example... Otis created the term escalator, but it became so generic and common that the American government concluded that it coud no longer be a trademark and as a result they lost it.[QUOTE="GTR12"]
Just get the cheapest B/W laser and get a more expensive colour. $30 laser printers are awesome, and when the ink runs out, recycle it and spend another $30 for a new printer.

Wow... how ecological...
Now I'm no eco fanatic but this siuggestion is just silly.
There are seriously printers that do a solid job but the ink costs as much or more than a new one.... ecological aspects aside... it makes sense from an economic point of view.[QUOTE="kungfool69"]

If you wish to interact with the world, use the terms the world uses. You are not proving yourself smarter by making up your own terms for things.

working in a retail world, u start to get a handle on the common terms. i find a lot of these quite funny. people will regularly ask for "That ipad galaxy" because ipad is the common term for tablet for some people. same with GPS's and video cameras. generic lexicon for video camera is "Handycam", yet thats a sony name. depenindng what part of the world ur from depends if Navman or Tomtom ar the generic name for GPS units.
