Today I brought home a new Ultra-HD 4k television (8 megapixel Samsung curved screen) and after tweaking the factory presets, which for some reason are always set to "cartoonish" out of the box, I'm now convinced this UHD screen is as far beyond my 2-year old Samsung 2 megapixel HDTV and that unit was beyond my previous Sony Trinitron.
Avatar (Blu-ray) was gob-smacking. The Life of Pi (BRD) was astonishing. Even old movies like The Lion in Winter and Arsenic and Old Lace were up-converted to the point that they looked like hi-def black & white, like Zelig footage or something.
I initially saw Avatar in a 3-D IMAX theatre, and I can seriously tell you it looks sharper and clearer on my new TV. The detail is unfreakingbelievable.
