not much native uhd material to watch.Fortunately,the upscaling of the full hd1080p 2D movies and TV series is amazing.But what is truly outstanding is the 3D quality.The unbelievable amount of detail in the picture, the brightness of the 3D images and the sense of depth are the basic elements that make it a fantastic experience.
I am of course aware of the fact that the TV set i bought now is a bit of an exaggeration for 2014 (feeling some kind of remorse as well)and it will truly shine once more content of native UHD will be released in a year or two from now,but i considered it to be an investment for the next 10 years.

The results of the overall image quality were also improved when an expert in calibration came to my house and performed all the settings of the colours.Not that i had problems before.I just wanted the best possible result for my TV

Good news and bad news... 4k blu-rays

4K Blu-rays will be available by Christmas 2015, as well as 4K Netflix, so you'll be in the content then!
But something I don't get about 4K TVs is that almost all movies (certainly all modern movies) are in 2K, including The Hobbit. The only movies that could be considered "native" 4K are movies shot on film with no digital elements or colour grading, and most of those are generally old and need digital restoration as it is. So basically anything you watch on a 4K TV has been digitally tampered with and upscaled. If it looks good, then fine. But the purist in me is skeptical until I've seen it for myself.
I'm sure Imax documentaries look mind blowing in 4K anyway.

will be available next Christmas and mostly in 2016. And of course,everything you watch on 4k TV if the source is 2k is digitally upscaled.The thing is that not all 4K TV'S succeed in a great upscale. I searched thorougly before buying the particular TV set. The upscaling it does is one of the best if not the best in the market.
And when i decided to watch DOS in my new TV,the results were mesmerising. Beorn's house has so much detail,every carving in the wood is truly visible,every tiny detail. The same with Erebor,Laketown and Smaug. From the coins that are encrusted in Smaug's belly to the amazing details of Erebor's walls and Laketown's houses. Every detail they used in the sets is now visible and clear. Richard's Taylor work and all the others in Weta is now more clear than ever.
All in all,it always depends on how someone is used to watch films.There are people who find the detailed and bright images distracting,that's why they still watch DVD'S for example.Some say that HD (not to mention UHD) looks fake and like soap opera.Personally, i am used in the HD technology for over 7 years now and honestly,i cannot easily stand anything else other than that.But that's just me.

I really like HFR 3D! Will totally skip IMAX for BOFA. Like you said, it looks like you are seeing the movie out your window, and the 3D is so much better! Will have to wait and see if anyone else uses it.

So we'll know the format soon enough. I hope Cameron hasn't lost faith in HFR. We can't judge its success on The Hobbit alone. I also hope a more naturalistic project tries the technology out. Avatar and The Hobbit have such unnatural aesthetics I think viewers get confused about how much of that look is HFR and how much is production design.

The majority of new TVs are capable of 120Hz+ nowadays. More and more people are getting acclimated to higher frame rates.

I don't see HFR movies going away. It's just taking a while picking up steam.
