Just walk into any Best Buy and you'll see the vast majority of their TV's are 4K and they're practically giving away HD TVs

Yes, thinking like a webmaster. I ordered a 4k monitor a few weeks ago the price was about $400 and change. A fellow I know that does documentaries is keeping 4k at arms length for a while. I understand the cutting edge thing, but HD is just maturing now and the quality is outstanding on 72 dpi monitors which most everyone has. Until the price of 4k monitors fall to the level they are now, nothing is going to matter. You will hurt your presentation if you are not 100% at the level of current HD and since the perception of quality will be the same, any lagging, jumpiness or loss of definition will count against you. So in the end, you will only have the marketing sound byte of 4K. Of course, I do wish you all the success and applaud the effort. Everything worth a shit comes out of the porn community. We drive the new stuff before anyone else. I don't know how much a 60" 4K television is going to cost at Costco or if there is even anything to watch on it. Between 3D, 4K and Virtual Reality, it's going to be a technological toss up as to what shakes out.
