What is the resolution of the human eye? Just wondering if there's a figure for how many pixels our eyes use?  Could a TV even match that?

Also aren't LED TV sets just LCD sets with LED backlights for every pixel, so they're not really proper LED screens as such are they?

Would it be hideously expensive to have a proper LED screen with red, green, blue LEDs in a matrix?

Also check this out a screen made of LEDs

Oh and curved screen just seems like a gimick unless there's a real benefit IMHO

Not sure on our eye res, being that they are curved I'm sure a lot comes into play with that.

Yes, LED screens are still LCD with different type of screen lighting used (edge vs full). They could just call them LED-LCD sets but I think that would cause too much confusion. I've seen the curved screen, not sold on them yet and cost is too much right now.

I currently have a Samsung 55" smart tv that I purchased around 6 months ago, love the set, picture quality is awesome. I have about 200 blu-ray's and internet service at home, so it's Netflix, Youtube, etc for me. I've wanted a 4K set since last year, however at $4,500 they were a bit pricey, now I see the price has come down a bit and I'm thinking of upgrading in a few months. I went to Best Buy a looked at one and was hooked at the picture quality. Looking at this one here.......

Wondering how the upscaling on BD's will look, I know Youtube has 4K content, maybe Netflix down the road. Also I will have to buy a 4K upscaling BD player as I know my PS3 will not support that. Anybody have or thought about 4K sets?

4K upscaling BluRay players aren't really 4K.  As I understand it, the HDMI 1.4 can just barely put through a 4K signal at 30fps, and then that's still questionable with overheads.  Also, as I understand it, upscaling only means that the device fills in lines of a less resolution source to a more resolution display.  It does nothing for sharpness or clarity.  It's essentially the same image, just having the extra lines filled in with duplicate lines of information.

4K TVs are largely pointless today.  There's nothing to see on them yet.  However, true Ultra HD BluRay is coming.  Last I read, they're standardizing the format and we can expect players and media on shelves within 12-18 months.  I'm thinking a Aug-Sept 2015 release for a huge holiday season 2015 sell.

Once the general public has an easier (and backwards compatible) device for their existing media and new media, that should drive display sales.

50-55" Full HD TVs are available for around $500.  If the 4K TVs can come down to 2-3X the price of 2K sets, then I think consumers will flock.  But until there's anything to watch on them, what would be the point of buying one?
