    "Seriously, if you want to buy electronics you either do it on Cyber Monday or you do it in February."
    what a stupid generalization, and it shows complete ignorance on how companies change and evolve.

    "Everyone knows that."
    Everybody knows a lot of thing, they are seldom correct.

    "We don't care about 3D."
    I do, albeit it not strongly.

    "We also don't care about 4D.
    I do, very much so. Have you seen a 4k film on a 4k TV? IT's fucking amazing.

    "Nobody cares what the "industry" wants us to buy.
    if that was true we wouldn't have iPhones and Tablets.

    "The only reason we even bought 1080p HDTV sets in the first place was we were forced to."
    Stop acting like you speak for even a tine percentage of the population.

    The internet is middle aged, maybe it's time you grew up and stopped being an ignorant hater?

    However, you can get new tones within a audible frequency and/or shape with tones that are outside audible frequency and/or shape.

    Also with bone conduction you can hear frequencies outside that range..well, hear isn't correct becasue the frequent changes, but you can be aware that are happening.

    The we can dig into auditory masking and so on.

    IT's a rich and complex field.

    F65 used to shoot "After Earth" is 4k.

    35mm film is much higher then 4k, so we can get 4k quality.
    Many many movies are planned to be shot in 4 k.
    Your statement is simply wrong. Maybe you should try this thing called 'google'. It search the 'internet' and thuis you can find out iof the things you say are true, or just bullshit.
    Be prepared to sacrifice some sacred cows.
