led tv 4k image
Original W
hello, i was wondering if anyone in the tv sales or home theatre communities thought that with the release of oled (organic light emiting diode) or 4k resolution tvs sometime in 2013, that the price of tvs that aren't oled or 4k will drop much like standard definition tvs dropped in price when high def came out? In case your wondering im looking at the price of a Panasonic Viera Tcp50st30. THANK YOU
Answer
Yes the prices will go down, but not all of a sudden. Like all other electronics, the prices are constantly going down. Even when HDTVs came out, the prices on standard television didn't dropped overnight. Also, OLEDs TVs and 4k TVs are still a novelty, with only very pricey model are available to the general public. It will take 2-3 years to become mainstream and to challenge the plasma/lcd/led prices.
This is especially true if you want to buy a very specific model, like your case. If you are willing to wait that model would be when the new models will come out (so the stores need to sell their old stock). This is usually in the February-April time frame.

You're mixing terms here..
Display technology: CRT B&W -> CRT Color -> CRT rear projection -> DLP/LCD/rear projection LCD/Plasma -> LED -> OLED -> ???
TV resolution: 480i/SD (analog) -> 480p (analog/digital) -> 720p / 1080i / 1080p -> 4k/Ultra HD -> 8k? really?
Professional movie theaters use 4k right now. 4k makes no sense for screens under 60". I can see theaters going to 8k, but I can't see home equipment ever going this high simply because 99.999% of homes just aren't going to be large enough to support a screen large enough to make the difference between 4k and 8k visible.
Blu-ray only supports 1080p right now. It is possible to put 4k resolution video on a blu-ray disc but you'd only get about 30 minutes of video per layer. So you'd need a quad layer blu-ray disc or some other storage device with >100GB capacity to store a whole movie in 4k.
I don't see blu-ray doing this. Frankly, I don't see 4k ever going mainstream on the consumer market. What's the point? Most TV stations are still at 720p, and even most HDTVs in peoples' homes are barely big enough for people to differentiate between 720p and 1080p. Now you're asking them to jump to 4k? Not going to happen.
