Thanks man.
So he's come back to me and now given me a price of R6000 ZAR. That works out to well over $400. I'll see if I can talk him down some. If not, I'll pass.

Gaiz,
Let's say there are two 55" TVs. One is 1080p and the other is 4K. If you hooked up a standard Blu-ray player to them and played a standard 1080p Blu-ray, the image would look better on the 1080p TV, right? (Because the 4K TV would be scaling up the video, whereas the 1080p TV is displaying the image in its native resolution.) Am I off?
I think the idea with 4K TVs, they are supposed to be exactly 4x the resolution of a 1080p display. Anything scaled up from 1080p to 4K will involve turning one pixel into (the same color on) four pixels (turning a small square into a larger square). So, in theory, the upscaling should be perfect.

Don't forget you can just make your TV output 1080p from a 1080p source and not do any upscaling.
I can't get into the mechanics of 4K sets, because I really do not know a ton about the processing/scaling involved...but both of my LG 4K sets work just fine with 1080p content being ran through them. Now, as to if they're upscaling, changing the overall resolution...who knows, but they do just fine.
BTW...finally got a taste of 4K HDR and wow, it can be amazing if it is done right. 4K didn't impress me a ton but the second I saw some HDR content (was watching the Tick on Amazon)...it is mind blowing at times. The color depth is just amazing.
You will always find a use for a 20 inch PVM, at some stage. IMO, 20 is much better than 14.With today's prices, 300 for a BVM seems like a steal. People are paying well over that for lesser monitors.
I got a Sony PVM 14 L2 recently for 165. I think that's a decent price. I bought it untested but it's in great working order. I passed on a 20 inch PVM locally listing at 200 for the simple fact that I was looking for a smaller set to put on my desk.
I think composite is the epitome of true retro visuals. RGB is for the spoiled hipster who never grew up with CRTs

You also think that S video wasn’t around until the psx/Saturn era.
But you also think there were never any rgb usage in the United States; I’m gonna go with you’re full of shit.
