I still don't understand the concern with having a PC tower in the living room.... I've had my air 540 in there before and it wasn't a big deal.....

I guess there is something nice about having a case that blends in with the surrounding hardware such as skybox, Bluray player etc. something that can fit inside a television unit.

Why would you have a Blu Ray player, separate from the PC that can and probably already does have a better bluray player? Just curious....since my PC has a bluray/cd/dvd player/burner for the occasional windows 7 reinstall.

 

Seriously...just curious about that lol.

I don't give a shit. I've got a 720p TV that I bought back in 2007 and it won't be replaced until it breaks.

 

I don't really play many games for gameplay anymore honestly. I play most games just for the graphics.

Not everyone does. And most people have a satellite or cable box. Plus a lot of gamers do own PC and consoles, sometime just for the exclusives. As I said, a lot of 5.1 sound systems come with a box. I personally have a Bose soundbar. It's just nice to have the option.

meh. fair enough, I do have a massive 470w surround sound setup next to the TV, with it's giant 3 disc head unit behind the TV. Personally I find a big impressive looking computer to be a welcome addition to any room, I dislike the "as small as possible" approach that tech has taken lately. It's fine for cell phones, but I want my PC as big as it needs to be to perform flawlessly and not overheat, or need to be cleaned out weekly to prevent overheating etc.

 

OH, and one other thing, just a gripe.

 

WHY IN FUCK DOES THE ON SCREEN GUIDE FOR DIRECT TV WORK SLOWER THAN MY GODDAMNED CELL PHONE LOADING A WEB PAGE WHEN IT HAS ONE BAR OF SIGNAL?!

 

*heavy breathing*

The people behind the on screen tv guide are idiots when it comes to programming.

Op you have missed the key part being

 

"Netflix did, though, provide more detail on the thought processes Hunt was alluding to during the CES press conference. Namely that he believes that when both the PS4 and Xbox One consoles do their traditional two-year hardware refresh (which would be due around October or November) they will add the necessary components to deliver 4K video playback."

 

And afaik xbox one already does this just limited to 30hz which i don't know any movies out that are filmed in 60hz (i know there are some but ive never seen it)

 

No it doesn't. The xbox one will output a maximum resolution of 1080p.

The XboxOne and Ps4 already support 4K/30fps video so why are they even talking about this?

 

No they don't. This update would allow 4k video output but it's still just a rumor by netflix.
