I believe manufacturers will get the cost of a 4k display down to HD prices in a few years. Then they don't want to keep 2 assembly lines running. So every set will be 4k.
I believe your neighbour will be shooting their daughters ballet lessons in 4k in a few years. That will build pressure for the format.
Satellite transmission tests have already been done with 4k. I don't know the details, but Broadcast Engineering Magazine reported it this month.
We don't know what new applications and opportunities 4k will offer. Larger displays make what possible? A 2d "Holodeck". Large immersion game experiences? We have not begun to explore what new opportunities and business models 4K makes available.
When Avid was introduced video editing on a computer would never be SD quality- computers were too slow. We would never stream high quality video to the home. Few people will ever Afford an HD set. We will never edit in the cloud. At a certain point in time, these opinions were understandable, but all fell to the relentless forward march of technology.
Does anybody really believe the development of TV stops here, now, in 2013 with HD distribution?
