Anyone experimenting with 4K TV ?

Posted by AbeCollins (A) on February 8, 2026 at 06:47:49

We had our outdated CableTV box replaced with the latest tech a couple months ago. I learned that the CableTV company broadcasts certain special events in 4K UHD. The new CableTV box supports it along with our TV's. Some over-the-air TV (you know, with old school TV antenna) also transmit 4K broadcasts but your TV will need an ATSC 3.0 compatible tuner.

While I'm not a videophile and 4K isn't a priority I found that the picture quality can be quite amazing. I played with 4K on the 55" OLED TV in the family room but from what I understand the higher resolution is even more noticeable on larger screens. We've streamed movies in 4K before but live broadcasts are especially crisp.

The Xi6 Cable box and TV support 4K UHD HDR

We'll checkout the Super Bowl in 4K Sunday evening

The iPhone snapshots of the TV screens above don't do it justice. We were watching some Winter Olympics in 4K last night.

"4K UHD (Ultra High Definition) has a screen resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, offering four times the detail of 1080p Full HD. These screens feature over 8 million pixels, resulting in sharper, more detailed images, particularly on larger screens. They also often support HDR (High Dynamic Range) for better color and brightness."
