Sorry, brother - - - - - you seem to be a wee bit behind the times. 8k is
the cutting edge and in the broadcast studio IIRC its more like 10 or 12k
that is viewed as the cutting edge (not much use). 4k is now in the domain
of the sub $300 TV market.

I'm finding that a 30% failure rate in 6 to 9 months is now considered
normal. 20 years ago things sure weren't that 'good'.
