    It’s about time the electronics industry as a whole realises that innovation for the sake of innovation is rarely a good thing

      Look, we can’t have TVs that last 15 years anymore!

      We need to keep people buying every year or two. Otherwise line not go up! Don’t you understand that this is about protecting The Economy?!

    Theres a ton of other things I want my TV to do before more pixels.

    Actual functional software would be nice, better tracking on high speed shots (in particular sweeping landscapes or reticles in video games) higher frame rates and variable frame rate content, make the actual using of the tv, things like changing inputs or channels faster, oh man so much more.

    Anything but more pixels.

      I have a Samsung frame because I wanted a TV that didn’t look so much like I had one, but the software is so goddam bad. The only way to switch sources quickly is to set them as a favorite which isn’t always that straight forward if you didn’t do it right away. Regardless you have to let the the home page fully render before you can even worry about that. Even the Samsung TV app which you would think would be perfectly optimized for the hardware since the same compare makes the software is barely functional and loads like a web page on AOL in 1998
