Also, check the contrasts and black levels to make sure it's up to your standards.<br />Archimagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642574001287787545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-12610099549336882742017-10-19T05:52:00.634-07:002017-10-19T05:52:00.634-07:00Great article as always.

I have a choice of 43 inch Vs 40 inch 4k TV as a monitor.

Brightness, contrast, compatibility with latest standards (HDR10, DV) if important to you.<br /><br />I'm very happy with what I have - the Vizio P75. FALD tech provides excellent blacks and contrasts.

I guess indeed because broadcast TV did not have any program material.

It's all a compromised given the varied programming out there.<br /><br />At least we got away from 4:3 :-).<br />Archimagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642574001287787545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-82115197049518787542016-09-21T08:15:24.248-07:002016-09-21T08:15:24.248-07:00I would have liked if the UHD format had also come...I would have liked if the UHD format had also come with a wider movie format image, just like we went from 4:3 to 16:9 when we moved to HD.Willemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01421405679737892329noreply@blogger.com
