Analogue warmth... to 4k video??

It will come, won't it?
Many HD productions have an unnaturally sharp and edgy picture quality.
I'm waiting for gadgets that bring back the analogue warmth to HD video, before I invest in any HD products 
Soon everybody wants a Super VHS-emulator.

The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

Actually Betamax was better.

Truth be told, I can't wait to be complaining about 4K video!  Right now I don't even have a TV in my new place (and won't until I catch up on other things like paying a friend back and getting a better car...).  Oh well!

craig - do you have a smartphone or tablet?
 
If so, check out the Vizio Smartcast displays.  As an example, the 43" 4K I just added to my PC was $380.

I happened to watch someone's old style TV yesterday and I couldn't believe how bad it looked - just a blurry mess of indistinct shapes and horizontal lines! But then again, that super sharp HD always brings to mind daytime soap operas, it's kind of tacky and soulless.

Try a tape emulator on the 2 bus.

Oh, I'm lovin' the fact that prices are dropping like crazy!  (And that the new TV's are finally of a higher resolution than any monitor I've ever owned.)  My eventual goal may be to kill two birds with one stone and get a nice TV that doubles as my computer monitor (or even monitors).
 
I do miss having enough dosh to run out and buy whatever interesting new toy gets my interest.  Oh well!
 
First things first!  Get a couple of paychecks.
