David Thorpe on 8k and Seeing Beethoven.

Thanks, I did enjoy that! I agree that marketing always pushes us to want more, yet few master what the technology they hold can actually achieve.

Part of the reason I picked up my 40d, 50mm & 24mm kit is because it will achieve excellent results and is probably far more capable than I am.

As a slight digression, I often wonder if am the only one with a 10 year old 32in HD TV (which I still think is modern BTW!) I walk past houses with 50in+ 4k screens and can't help but think it dominates their rooms and their lives!
 
It always makes me think of how motorbikes started marketing superbikes that has incredible amounts of horsepower, fabulous brakes, tyres that would grip forever and very few riders could use more than about 50% of their capability. But hey, my bike can do 193 and yours can only get to 186mph!! :rolleyes:

I have a 50" plasma Pioneer Kuro (KRP 500M) that I bought in 2009 and it still performs wonderfully. I am likely to only replace it when it dies. It cost $3500 new.
 
Actually I just skimmed the article. I was more impressed with the short film. Quite moving I thought. And of course done with basic kit and a small budget.

No, you are not the only one. All of our TVs are old and not smart and only one is 32inch, the rest are smaller. It might be that what we can get via a FireStick is fine for us, but can't see a reason to change.
