Well yes and no its my understanding its the same technology as any standard HD TV just curved.
If you need a new TV get a good deal on a current HD set around $600-700 unless you win the lottery. My suggestion is start saving your money for another couple of years until the Ultra HD 4K sets have started to come down in price.
There supposed to start coming out by summer and UHD 4K Blu-ray players are set to be released sometime by Christmas.
I'm hoping my TV will make it another 2 and half years and I'm actually thinking of going ahead and getting a new BR disc player since your standard Blu-ray players can now be found for under $30.
4k is a bit of a gimmick right now too. No one is broadcasting in 4k and between equipment upgrades and signal bandwidth it's doubtful that they will for several more years. Heck, most stations are still broadcasting 720p.
It might make a difference for movies but that will be niche at first. Most people just upgraded to Blu-Ray within the last 3 years. Average consumers will be hesitant to upgrade again so soon.
So I got a blu ray for Christmas,I watched step brothers and when I laid down it was like the movie was dark you couldn't see the characters face so I had to basically stand to watch the movie I thought it was just that movie,then I watched Freddy vs Jason and it did the same thing when I laid down,I've came to the conclusion it must be a setting on my tv,any clue or ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance
