Falling asleep as a toddler to Dark Side of the Moon on a quadrophonic sound system my father built from scratch sparked a lifelong passion for high-quality audio and home theatre. My journey has taken me through broadcasting school, into a decade of large-scale, live audio and video production—I even had a stint in provincial politics as an MLA.

  1. @Jeff_Wilson Thank you!

    While I agree with most of what is written and have some of these at my home, I wonder if 4K is truly needed YET?

    Has there been enough content to justify the cost of 4K TVs?

    Should we be early adopters when those are the ones that generally pay the most $ for the least amount of useable time before an upgrade is needed.

     

    I guess this was probably the same when HD first came out?

  3.  You raise a valid point, @Wayne_dman.

     

    While there is limited 4K content today, there is always something in the pipeline being created. More movies and series are being released in 4K, both on disc and via streaming services, Blue Jays games are all broadcast in 4K, and more is on the way. There is also the option of purchasing a receiver with 4K upscaling capabilities that will take the majority of your HD content and match it to the quality of your monitor. 

     

    Anytime we choose to take a leap into brand new technology there are always compromises. Those of us who get in early may have to wait for the critical mass of broadcasters and consumers to catch up, but in the meantime, we get to ride the wave and enjoy the latest and greatest.

     

    As an added bonus, all of our buddies will be over showering us with praise while they enjoy the next big game.
