Warm grey is the new blue. But the curious glow behind the new forum caption is still blue.

Now that looks better.

While I understand FixedR6's sentiment, I hadn't upgraded before now because my existing kit was good enough, and there was no compelling content unavailable to it.

However, waiting for consumer 4K is a bit like waiting for a 32-core processor before you buy a new computer: why do you think the improvement treadmill will plateau for long enough there to make it worth the money, when what you can buy now isn't?

Now that we've decoupled TV set resolutions from broadcast TV standards, I don't think there will ever again be an obvious good time to upgrade. I'm doing it because of equipment failure, and because my general purchasing philosophy is "buy the best you can afford, and drive it into the ground." So I expect to do the same with our next set, and don't expect it to be obviously outclassed by 3D, 4K or 5-sense-o-rama.

(Well, maybe that last one...)
