So all these idiots roam around telling me that I don't know what I'm talking about when I say 4K is a gimmick and full content support for it is a LONG way off. Good God, just try explaining bandwidth to these so-called "techie", Luddite, marketing-gimmick-buying-stupid-asses and their heads just explode as they're walking off hee-hawing like the donkeys they are. This is the same as trying to explain to some asshat who just bought an "LED TV" that his TV isn't actually an "LED TV" and that it's just an LCD backlit by LED's.
Yeah I remember walking into the wall of TV store and having the guy explain that each pixel was an LED. I kept asking him was he absolutely sure about that.
