Pro football and other live sports will drive the 4K ultra-HD (UHD) movement the farthest forward. But for now, they're taking a back seat to the likes of Netflix, movie studios and video games with the online streamer launching a service tier that includes 4K content such as House of Cards and Breaking Bad series and a few movies for a mere $11.99 a month.
So those buying (or planning to buy) increasingly discounted very large-screen UHD TVs for the four-times high resolution than 1080p HD sets, as the holidays approach and CE shopping spikes, will find themselves watching original series, regular TV shows and movies in 4K, not live football.

This leaves Netflix as the first big mover in 4K programming having already shot season 2 of House of Cards in the format and possessing some movies as well. Fairly recently, the online streaming services kingpin created a new subscription tier ($11.99 is really cheap and only $3 more than its regular plan) for customers who wish to view 4K content and for other service enhancements.
"It's all about screen size. Because, if you take a 50-inch 1080 HD resolution set side by side with a 4K set of the same size, you aren't going to see that big a difference with the human eye," explained Ken Aagaard, executive vice-president of operations for CBS Sports, which produced last week's Thursday Night Football game at Gillette Stadium. However, he added, the farther you go above 50 inches with your UHD set, the greater the difference in resolution. "Images on larger UHD sets "are spectacular for games and movies," Aagaard added.
Cinemas, for example, would need a 4K capable projector to show movies shot in 4K on huge cinema screens. Aagaard looked at one for the huge set in his home but was put off by the exorbitant price, but knowing it, like the UHD sets, will continue to drop.
Pro football aside, those looking at the huge, 4K UHD sets as we approach the yearend shopping-fueled holidays can reap the benefits of viewing the limited 4K content on these advanced sets. Original series, movies and gaming are start for now.
I have been using various VPN solutions and must admit that Hola is the only one that has never let me down. All the rest are not 100% effective, thus you always need to switch. Too bad it is not available for Safari though.And yeah, I followed your advice and already watched The Interview today (in Europe). Good option for ignoring all these Christmas related movies out there been shown on TV.
Merry Christmas, Fred! I rented The Interview on Google Play, endured 57 minutes of it and then switched off.Thoughts:I love online releases. $5.99 to watch a brand new movie with The Wife is much cheaper than movie Tickets.Interestingly we went and watched The Gambler running in an AMC. It cost us $26 on Fandango for tix, $12 for popcorn and we had to walk to and from the theater.Both movies were underwhelming. but we sat thru the Gambler because we paid a lot for the tix (comparitively)Thanks,Pranay 2ff7e9595c
