Re: 4K Demo

I must admit i am a bit fed up about it Panasonic said they had never said the tv would open 4k channel from the internal tuners and none of their range would open 4 k at the moment

Re: 4K Demo

Really sorry to hear that buddy i always thought and still do that Panansonic lead the way for TV's closely followed by Samsung but after hearing this i now have reservations about the panasonic brand.

Fingers crossed that hopefully this can be resolved with a possible firmware update to your TV as we all know these days LED/LCD/Plasma TV's all have updates at some point to improve operation, My samsung's seems to get them literally every other week.

So, its just a 4K panel, no tuner inside supported

I doubt its the tuner as the Tuner's inside the Samsung's are just basic Satellite tuners that receive a signal it is then up to the other Hardware/Software in the display unit to resolve the Picture/Audio from the digital signal.

As the panasonic is clearly 4K UHD compatible the Hardware is there as explained above if enough people/Owners get in touch with panasonic and complain they may actually resolve this issue as it could just be a simple firmware update is all that is needed

Re: 4K Demo

Sadly this always seems to occur when there are no agreements set as to specifications,
every manufacturer decides to go their own way and, try to get their technology accepted.

Re: 4K Demo

As has been mentioned in some of the earlier posts in this thread
you could take your chance with one of the Samsung sets, there may well be others too,
but you take a chance. There always has to be transmission tests before any new system becomes available to the general public, these are for system checks and that is why Professional Stb's for testing them cost so much. I have no doubt that if you were prepared to pay around £2000.00 -£3000.00 you could probably find some, but even then you would not have a guarantee that you would have one with the final specification. Think of it like Philips v Betemax v VHS.

PS. I see Tata Sky India have a mention of a 4k Stb, other names are Technicolour and Pace UK.

Re: 4K Demo

Your 4k tv that you are talking about will be obsolete in a few months the oled TV's where put on show yesterday.
You can roll them up, they stick to the wall by magnets and are only 4mm thick cost about 5k for a 60" and the picture quality is far superior

This might be of interest....No prices unfortunately

Still very early days for this technology.

Re: 4K Demo

It seems to be a spacecraft....

Hoping that in a couple of years it will be a definitively accessible technology.
