the TVs will get interesting soon.

3D printers look pretty cool as do the drones

Don't see the excitement about 4k tvs. The resolution improvement will be unnoticeable unless it's a 60" TV and you sit too close to it.

 

Android smart tvs sound interesting.

4K is about selling tv's to the gullible. Nothing more.

I think they are pretty devoid of genuinely interesting breakthrough TV ideas these days, so they try to get us excited about what is basically just fine tuning of what we already have. Higher and higher definition, when nobody was really complaining about definition, more exact Colour on screen, when nobody was unhappy about the colours before. 3d that doesn't really add anything to the experience of a decent movie. The thing is, they have to sell more units, so they have to make us believe we need something more.

Maybe I should check them out then

I seem to remember reading that it will be ages before the channel start broadcasting in 4k and that there is limit recorded content in 4k, which then begs the question - what is the point

I imagine it will be for gamers, 4k TV.

 

They were driving sales of HD TVs way before there was any significant amount of broadcast content in that format.
