Anyone remember how awesome the masters golf was when it first aired via BBC hd on sky? That was stunning, 20mb then it got cut to 8 and it went to rat****. I'm afraid 4k will only look as good as the bit rate will allow.

Well I've been pulling my hair out with this Netflix 4k streaming.After suffering horrendous picture quality in 4k,been trawling through loads of AV forums searching for an explanation or answer.I found a review from a guy in Colorado who tested Netflix 4K before it went live.He explained that you need to set your playback settings to High(ultra hd).My tv app doesn't have a in depth setting,neither does my iPad app.
I logged onto my Netflix account through Safari and found the setting for playback under "my account".I couldn't believe the bloody setting was set to LOW.I selected High(UltraHD) and bingo, I now have 4k streaming
House of cards looks quite impressive with Breaking bad just falling short but still very good picture.
With Amazon sorting out more 4k TV compatibility as its only Sony TV's that can stream Amazon 4k at the moment,things are looking up on the 4k front

Originally posted by BIG EDD View PostI did update my tv,it was the settings on Netflix that caused me problems.They were set on low and needed to be set to high.The Netflix tv app and the iPad app I've been using doesn't have the playback setting.It was on the main website for Netflix.All sorted now,streaming 4k now instead of a joke of a picture

Picked up a Samsung UE32H5000 today in Richer Sounds. Best selling 32" display on Amazon and I was able to price match with them to bring it down ?20 with Richer Sounds price. Benefit of Richer Sounds being a 5 year guarantee too.
Only used it with my PlayStation 2 via component right now but even just giving a few song a quick go I can tell that it's a very low latency display. Pretty barebones feature wise which is great for my usage as I only really bought it for playing games on.
?209 in total for a 32" 1080p display this thin still seems a little ridiculous to me, happy camper.
Messy shot for the road:
