re: #50 Amory Blaine

Department stores all over america are selling millions of 4k televisions based on the assumption that there will be high quality streaming content (go ahead ask any salesperson).

Comcast caps usage at 300 gigs on many of their plans. Not much if you have multiple users in the house.

Depending on your 4K provider, you’ll need around 50Mbps for each 4K stream. Moreover, there are competing format for 4K delivery and different OS’s being used by each manufacturer. Buying a 4K television before things settle down is a crap shoot. It could well go the way of Quadraphonic stereo. OTOH, I’m looking forward to the drop in prices for OLED sets in the face f the 4Ks’ marvelousness and brandnewness.
