With 20+ years of experience in trade and consumer tech journalism, I have covered the tech space since before social media was a "thing" and the smartphone as we know it was even invented. Writing for various technology, lifestyle, and entertainment sites, I have covered and reviewed hundreds of tech products, from home appliances to wearables, fitness tech to headphones, TV entertainment products and services, and more. I'm also a passionate foodie who loves to cook and bake, a TV show fanatic (happy to give what to watch recommendations!), and proud mother to a 12-year-old son.
It’s great to see that 4K Blu-ray is on the way, but I think the market will be limited until that price comes down. The difficulty faced by 4K Blu-ray is simple: most smart TVs are coming with 4K Netflix, which is “good enough” for the majority of buyers out there. They’re unaware that they’re missing out on a picture that is less compress, better audio formats and extras, because for many people the thought is that “4k is 4k” right?
Streaming, for the foreseeable future, simply won’t be able to match physical media in quality, so for image and sound purists out there, a $600 bill (plus media at $40 a pop or whatever the exchange rate hits us with) are in your future.
Sadly I’m in that crowd. My poor wallet. Glad I have a Best Buy card
