Television Next In Line For Industry-Wide Shakeup?

New submitter pjlehtim writes "In a recent interview. Samsung's AV product manager, Chris Moseley, said, 'TVs are ultimately about picture quality. ... and there is no way that anyone, new or old, can come along this year or next year and beat us on picture quality.' Sounds familiar? There must be a change in the perceived role of television in the entertainment ecosystem before the general public starts to care about the smart TVs manufacturers are trying to push. That change is likely to come from outside the traditional home entertainment industry. It's not about technology; it is about user experience, again."

16 Bits per channel? Even Huge budget blockbusters are only mastered at 12 bits per channel. The only time I've ever worked in 16 bit is for math during compositing. It's always output to 10 or 12 bit. So like, that would be serious overkill.
