The annual Consumer Electronics Show just wrapped up in Vegas and the tech press seemed determined to convince us that 4K televisions will soon be replacing our current HD TVs. I can’t help but think that 4K is a desperate push by the electronics industry to revive flat TV sales. Such high resolution detail can only be appreciated on screens that are 70 inches or larger. Some people might have room to accommodate such a monstrosity in their living rooms, but my 46″ TV still seems gargantuan to me. I’m sure my next television will be both thinner and larger, but only because that’s where the market is heading. Hopefully, I won’t need to knock out a wall to enjoy season 10 of Game of Thrones.
