Budget UHD TVs arrive – but were the 4Kasts worth listening to?

Movies in particular benefit though

Meh. HD doesn't make the plot, dialogue, acting, or directing any better. Personally, I don't much care about the rest.

We have an HD TV (couldn't really get anything else when the old one died), and maybe a hundred HD channels. We rarely watch them because the SD equivalents come earlier in the online program guide, so we never scroll as far as the HDs. When I do happen to see something in HD, the increased resolution doesn't do anything for me.

I remember when we (my family and I) used to timeshift programs using VHS VCRs recording in EP mode. That didn't hurt our enjoyment. Indeed, I find I'm less interested in television these days, with my 500 channels and on-demand and Netflix and HD and DVR and blah blah blah.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go yell at those kids.
