New AVR’s for 19-20.

[Good4it]

Anyone know what the “boys and girls” may produce this year?

 

[lovinthehd]

Whut? You saw that Sound United is purchasing Onkyo/Pioneer? Might be more a question of who may not produce what in coming years....

 

[AcuDefTechGuy]

8K Video should be around the corner, right @Phase 2 ?

Most surely, it should be interesting to see if the AVR'S in the next year or two will incorporate 8K upscale. If so than my AVR or any for that matter will be outdated. I was hoping to buy Good4it A3080 at a good price, but now I may just hold up to see what's around the corner with AVR's since 8K is out now.

 

[lovinthehd]

LOL what 8k is available now?

Samsung released its first 8K sets last year. Their 85 inch QLED Model has a MSRP of only $15,000 !

Yeah saw that...but what about content?

Someone should wait for acceptable available content before spending on a TV set that can display that definition. As for TV programs broadcasted in 8K, I doubt that it will ever be a reality because of the increased costs.

How many 3D films or programs were shown by a TV channel? IMO, 8K definition is only good for screens of over 100 inch. Since the majority of TV owners can't afford screens that big, I doubt that the format will live long.

IMO, that 8K format will only be available strictly for theaters, big venues and public performances.

There is barely any decent 4k broadcast on Direct TV. They like to advertise 4k, but truth is their selection is sorry.

Just to be a contrarian I humbly submit 8K is now being broadcast in Japan.

​

NHK’s 8K (well it’s actually 7680 x 4320) broadcasts are now available on a daily basis on a special channel between the hours of 10 am and 10 pm. The picture quality of the broadcasts will be 16 x greater than that of HD, and audio will be delivered in 22.2 multi-channel. NHK will be broadcasting in frame rates of 59.94, 60 and 120P.​

​

I don't yet have a 4K TV, but just getting a good HD signal on more channels would be nice. Even on HBO there are obvious compression artefacts (banding, for instance) when I watch the last season of GoT

 

[AcuDefTechGuy]

No 8K contents on BD.

But Samsung has an 8K TV and JVC has an 8K-eShift NX9 Projector ($18K).

Even without 8K contents, it's for people to brag that they can upscale all their HD sources to 8K.

Not that anyone can see the difference between 8K and 4K.

What about the people that sit inches away from their 85" TVs? Did you consider them?!

That's a total lapse in judgement and utter lack of consideration on my part.

Lmao!! Nice! You made my day!! Lolo.

 

[snakeeyes]

So you’re saying there will be 8K adult content? LOL

 

[AcuDefTechGuy]

So you’re saying there will be 8K adult content? LOL

And 8K Video games.

 

[lovinthehd]

I'd fully expect them to lead the way as usual.

 

[Good4it]

I'd fully expect them to lead the way as usual.

3D?

 

[Trell]

3D?

3D was dropped from Blu-Ray 4K so I think there is little chance for 3D 8K anytime soon.

 

[Trell]

And you have to sit real CLOSE to the screen to see any difference from 4K but that might be a feature
