On the subject of 4K sources, does the talk of a 4K Blu-ray player kind of surprise you? With much of the world going towards streaming, I am seeing 4K Blu-ray is a distinctly risky endeavor for smaller manufacturers.

I would like to see such a device - we live in a rural area our internet access is via DSL.

Our download speed is a "blistering" 5.0 Mbps.

If you think that is exciting our upload speed roars along at 0.75 Mbps.

Heady stuff.

But the DL speed is not so great for streaming.

I hears lots of folks talk about how they haven't touched a bluray disc in months or years. Well, I hear that from our industry. I'm not finding that to be the case as all with my clients. The ONLY way I want to watch a movie in a theater is via a disc. That's mostly in part due to streaming limitations in the area, regardless I like my physical media. (or ripped to server, but much prefer it local, not streaming)

IMO, and good old fashion 1080p bluray looks better than Netflix 4k.

I love how 1080p bluray is now "old fashion".
I guarantee I'll tell you the truth and I guarantee I'll tell you what you need to know but I can't guarantee that I'll be telling you anything you want to hear.

not at all. I can't understand why anyone in the biz would be surprised by it. I have several clients eagerly awaiting it (some that want me to import the Japanese Panasonic player for them that should be coming out soon). Like others have said Netflix and all he other streaming 4k sources barely keep up with 1080p B on the picture (d behind on audio), the only one that is even remotely decent is the Sony 4k DL. Anyone interested in quality A/V would be interested in UHD BD

I am seeing 4K Blu-ray is a distinctly risky endeavor for smaller manufacturers.

can't see why that would be the case. Especially considering it will most likely come at a premium early on. This the time where they can make the most money. Loo at 4k TVs there was a time when a k TV would be 10x the same 1080p TV today it is close to 2x.

I can picture the Yamahas, Denons, and Integras sourcing out a player from Funai or somebody that makes them cheap. Producing their own would be too expensive.

where do you think your AppleTv..... was made? No matter what you think is the future most electronics ( and their parts) are mass produced where it s cheap.
