Yeah, just regurgitating what I read. And math hurts my head!
Is there another way to improve now days tv, except for density of pixels, no.
You mean yes.
Only one set on the market has an auto calibration feature. (So far as I know, I haven't bothered to look lately.)
Most of them produce crappy color no matter what.
The response time of LCDs could be improved.
Or they could abandon the plasma joke and leave LCDs in computers and actually produce SED TVs, those look remarkable, but nooooooo.

And use frame rate processing in those, only use a decent algorithm.
But that would have to be marketed as, "Look! We decided to stop borking TV so now it looks right!"
So yeah, market the dots by all means while we wait for that to happen.

As if I were average consumer, none of this makes sense to me except "whats 4k? Its better picture, you should buy it"
Start making entirly different tv is like stop making gas powered cars. Companies need to reinvest billions into entirely new product, and its not going to happen any time soon.

Let's not forget Crystal LED...
Companies are already investing billions in new technology, it happens constantly whether that tech actually makes it to market or not. We would not have the plasma and LCD screens we have now otherwise and OLED was almost a no-starter because of the horrible life span but enough money was thrown at it to develop emitters that would last more than a year or two.
So China is both behind the times and ahead of the times... depends on where."Mr. Green he's so serene, he's got a TV in every room."
Most households have at least one TV here. I always had a TV when I was in the UK. I don't have cable now though, so there's no point in me having a TV. Not paying for..."40+ channels of shite" I do have fibre internet and a DLP projector however, which I use with a laptop for when I want to watch online stuff on the "big screen", like movies and TV shows streamed from PPTV, and downloads, etc,
BTW CRT TVs are still very common here, in fact can still buy them new.

That works best what your doing.... streaming.
The local Best Buy store here is selling Smart TVs with the dead WebOS, and has soundbars with *gasp* vacuum tubes!!! so not surprised that some might still rock a boombox complete with the 80's look and cassette player. Target is carrying battery-powered 'flip clocks' that were last seen in the late '70s.
Seems 2014 is the year of rehashing old tech. i was hoping we'd be moving forward but this year seems more like reliving the glory days than a new year for futuristic tech.

A home theater in-a-box? A tv like that deserves better.
I might start toying with the WebOS TV to see if the infamous 'too many cards' error rears it's ugly head. If I recall that left a bad taste in many webOS user's mouths...
But vacuum tubes, they are so inefficient and prone to generating heat and failing. Why would anyone want something generating more heat inside a PC? Also how long must one wait for the sound bar to warm up before use? Last time I used a TV with tubes (and not just the crt) the thing probably played audio for ten minutes before the picture would appear.
I cringe at luddites. I can only hope they remain a minority as I certainly have had enough of the tech throwbacks lately. Flat design being the worst and refusing to die.
