i wouldn't go for the jvc either.
john lewis i think they have very good customer services and in most cases give extra years guarantee for the same price

Hence the reason images on 4K tv's become more noticeable when over 40" in size, in comparison to a 1080 or less.

We went from a 32inch to 55 and straight away noticed that dvds look crap compared to bluray, also some normal freewview tv channels looked crap at this size, channel 5 and the like, bbc was not so bad but you you could see a difference at 55inch, as more and more free view HD channels are now appearing things are much better.

So if I brought a 4k tv and watched normal non hd free view would that look better or worse than a 1080p tv, im guessing just the same.
Would bluerays look any different on a 4k tv as opposed to a 1080p tv, again im guessing not. 

back to currys and I ask about the refresh rate....complete blank looks and a long embarrising silence    :lol ...probs a bit too techy for the shop boys , we had a little laugh at thier expense  :lol

 

Yep I get to that stage with almost everything I buy, by the time I am ready to buy I know more about it product than they do

DVD's are PAL so although touted as 625 lines, the content on view is only 576 lines, that's why they now look a bit ropey in comparison to HD stuff.


As for older standard definition programmes on your HD tv, it is what it is.
What people don't realise is that it also depends on how the programme was filmed and if any alterations were made to the camera.
Without getting too into it, something could've been filmed using a 16mm film camera instead of a 35mm camera, so you have to cram the same detail onto a smaller frame of film.
Also a normal 35mm camera for example would pull down the reel at 4 perforations of film per frame, but we have the ability to adjust our cameras to pull down only 3 perf or even 2 perf's at a time, which again is cramming more stuff into a smaller space. This is simply done if it's a low budget job, a camera that has been adjusted to work 2 perf will obviously only use half the film stock of a 4 perf camera.
As you can imagine that can be a huge money saver, but picture quality will suffer.
