Re: I don't see the need...

Thanks for posting that graph. I just looked at it and measured the distance to my 32" TV in my living room. (Still a SD set until it dies and we replace it with an HD one.) It's 9 feet from where I sit to the screen.

According to that graph, I'd need a 60" set for 1080p to be noticeable and a 90" set for 4K to be noticeable. Of course, my living room is too small to fit either size TV so I don't think I'll rush into 4K TVs when they start being sold.

good reason

For passive 3D viewing technology so both eyes get full HD. Also for larger screen sizes that actually look like HD without the screen door effect. With enough people looking for it, the market will bring more content.
