Similar thing for me and the wife with this TV. It's on a stand right in front of our bed. It's a good panel size when it's close like that. The most important thing to me is natural skin tones, and this set has very good color gradation with the ability to get rid of all the over-processing of the image. And the 3D is actually pretty good. Now...I think my first UHD streaming binge will be 'Breaking Bad' on Netflix. I've actually only watched the first season. Gasp! I'm hoping the new Game of Thrones gets shot on the new Arri 4K 65mm Alexa camera. That would be the bomb in UHD.
We just finished season one of the blacklist with james spader . They deliberately did a lot of aerial shots over D.C. to show off the UHD. Season two is ongoing on TV now. Amazon has several shows in UHD. It should be enough to last several more weeks. Breaking Bad is badass. I found it hard to get into because the first 2-3 shows were a bit slow. But it gets better and better and is hard to say "no" to "watch the next episode?" ;-)
Cool cool cool. I've also heard 'House of Cards' is good in UHD. I have my own true 10-bit 4K footage that I shot that I am going to watch off the MacBook Pro. Technically, it doesn't get much better than that. 800mbps stuff. SSD's to the rescue.
I know it's a great show, I've watched a lot of the first season but I sort of consciously decided to re-visit it later on after all the hype died down.
And, OMG, this TV! Post-calibration this thing is out of this world. Game of Thrones Blu-Ray upscales soooo well. Probably my favorite thing about 4K is that I can have the set so close, yet not perceive a pixel grid. Just a smooth image, much like film.
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015...standard-supporting-devices-with-8k-displays/ VESA, the standards body responsible for such luminary technologies as DisplayPort and the omnipresent VESA monitor mount, has published the specification for version 1.4a of Embedded DisplayPort (eDP). The new standard builds upon DisplayPort 1.3, which was published at the end of 2014.
I'm not sure if any TV sold to date supports DisplayPort 1.4a as officially released. Now TVs and set top boxes and other media devices can hopefully reliably use the standard.
