Actual LED TVs? do they exist? (2023 Update)

People still use that system? Even Sky TV in the UK is considering moving to internet only. So many advantages, like being able to watch anything at any time you like.

When most people have a 4K or better TV, any station broadcasting 4K will get all the customers.

Sadly that is probably true, whether or not those stations are the ones broadcasting the programmes that people want to watch. It's the equivalent of saying (as I remember people saying when colour TV began, though not in these words) "I'd rather watch crap in colour than a decent programme in black and white".

There are still people* who watch movies on DVD, so I'd guess that 1080 will still draw some folks after 4k is here.

*I call those people "not me".

And the method of transferring the data matters why?

Why sadly? Would you watch black and white?

Yes, if it was the programme I wanted to see. I'd wish it had been made in colour, or that a colour copy still existed, but I'd still watch.

I don't. No more than I'd go on a roller coaster with a blindfold on. Removing most of the information makes the experience not worthwhile.

It seems Q-LED is superior. Brighter, no burn-in, stronger colours, and cheaper.

Yes they exist but as you make the pixels smaller they can mit less light and the panel gets hotter. There is also an imbalance between the colours and their linearity. Often what is done is to use UV light and then use a phosphor to generate the colours. Brian
