I'd buy a revision but it sure won't be for 4K streaming... especially Xbox One. So many stuff that needs to be fix like front usb 3.0, removable HDD, smaller form factor, etc.
Lol what kind of neckbeards are actually buying a 4k tv right now or any time soon? You must really want to catch a glimpse of Ben Affleck's pipe in Gone Girl, because when it comes to 4k the content is severely lacking and it will be that way for years. How much are those 6k Red cameras?
It costs a ton of money for content providers to get the proper equipment. Look how long it took them to upgrade from 480p. They might skip 4k altogether.
Aren't 4k TVs the same price or cheaper (by size) now than they were when mass adoption was starting to occur in '06 and '07?
I think 4k isn't as significant of a jump in technology as HD was. Watching sports in HD was an instantly improved experience. While I haven't seen 4k in person, I don't think it will have the same kind of impact from watching a fuzzy ball versus a crisp ball on screen.
Either way, that's pretty poor planning on Sony and Micrsoft's part. Plain old HD tvs are starting to get phased out for smart TVs, with 4k starting to get big as well. I'm completely guessing here, but I'd say in the next 2-3 years the majority of TVs sold (in the US) will be 4k TVs. Since Sony and Microsoft want their consoles to be relevant until 2019 or whatever number they are spouting, that means the last 2-3 years of the console lifecycle will have up-scaling issues with the new TVs?
When the 360 launched, hardly anyone had HD TVs, but by the end pretty much everyone owned an HD tv. 4k could be a similar quick adoption (though like I said likely not as game changing).
4k TVs don't seem as horrendously expensive as some on here are making out, you can get a Samsung for £600 which given i remember my uncle getting a 1080p 48" plasma for £800/900 and that being considered a steal nearer the launch of HD TVs.
If you're in a store any time soon try and get a look at a 4k TV, i was in John Lewis around Christmas and honestly the 4k panels look gorgeous, you'd be surprised by the difference. The issue is purely about content imo as the price will fall naturally, there's a lack of it stuff to watch and delivery could be an issue given the move to digital distribution and the poorer internet connections some people are on.
I guess MS and Sony didn't want to be paying for chips that are pretty redundant currently and could be easily fixed with the release a 4k ready slim version of the console in 2017/18. Would there really be scaling issues? I think they both support 4k in some form.
I never said anything about 3.5 GB VRAM... I was replying because Giovela was saying something about people unable to play PC games in 4k, yet his own claimed PC has a graphics card that can play games on 4k, kind of ruining his point. So I was calling him out.

And im correct, most of the people in this thread who brag about 4k dont even have a PC powerful enough to accomplish it.
Hmm.. I kinda doubt this. Don't certain phones already do 4K? I doubt those are any better than even X1's APU. Probably just gonna need a firmware update.. unless the PS4/X1's HDMI ports aren't up to date. AFAIK there are different versions.
I've seen multiple 4k TV 's In stores, while some look nice others look terrible, imo. The picture on some of them just took excessively fake. Personally I think the picture on my pioneer KURO elite signature series monitor provides one of the most natural pictures ever displayed by a monitor (model: pro-101fd) while being incredibly detailed.

So you magically know that these people don't have a powerful enough PC to play games how? It's not too hard to pick up an r9 290 and play at 4k just fine these days anyways.
