At CES 2012 we began to see more 4K "Ultra Definition" TVs on the show floor but do we really need them right now? The highly competitive TV market has manufacturers throwing every unnecessary feature and buzz word at consumers to make them stand out against their competitors. Does anyone actually enjoy watching 240hz TVs that makes films look like cheap home movies? Who's going to buy a 4K TV when there's no content on the market? Blu-Rays aren't going anywhere soon and no one wants to see another disc format on the market. Internet steaming isn't going to fix the problem as we can barely get good HD on Netflix if you even want to call that HD. Streaming 4K content won't happen till service internet service providers get bigger bandwidth in the homes. Cable and satellite providers won't jump for 4K channels because they can use the same bandwidth that 1 channel takes to make more money off of 4 to 6 HD channels. 4K TVs will be useless on sets smaller than 40 inches. We don't even have 1080p content as mainstream yet. Stop selling consumers on 4K TVs and keep it to medical and other professional markets!
