Global 4K TV Shipment To Hit 22 Million Units In 2017

I can see this being popular with Home Theater enthusiasts but not so much being done on Cable TV or Streaming.
I assume there will be some form of player that will handle 4k content? and it will be backwards compatible with 2k and DVD?

looks like it's a glorified hard drive case. All u can do with it is subscribe to the upcoming sony 4k download service.

while exciting, this needs 15-20 years to mature.

The future of entertainment won't be a spinny disc, 4K will be streaming only. Content makers don't like the idea of you buying their products as much as they like you paying them for access TO their products. It's way easier for them to control and far more profitable with this method.
