"The P series naturally gets the version of Netflix that allows 4K streaming, and Vizio tells me the app update for Amazon Instant that allows 4K is coming soon along with UltraFlix, a new 4K streaming service said to include lesser-known films."
Again whole story isn't told.
The reviewer claims to have been testing since 2002, so when he makes this statement, one would logically have to assume he knows what he's looking at and saying. 4K is a resolution being sold as the next big thing and yet professionals admit differences are not mind boggingly great. The TV advertisers and TV tech professionals aren't agreeing at all. TV manufacturers don't give shit about peoples real experiences, just buy the dang TV from them and go away.
Ntek has been trying to sell the same hype using vaporware and boasts.
The market isn't impressed.
Demo files and test patterns are one thing, but for now most 4K material people have access to will arrive via streaming. The Netflix app worked well, delivering what the on-screen menus said was a steady 4K stream, a testament to the new souped-up Internet connection at CNET's TV lab (your mileage may vary at home).
As usual, it was tough to tell the difference between the 4K and 1080p streams. I set up a quickie comparison for four CNET co-workers, with two TVs streaming 4K from native Netflix apps and two streaming 1080p from a PS3 -- all synched to the same episode from House of Cards -- and asked them to pick out the two 4K sets. None of them guessed correctly.
Of course none of that is Vizio's fault; the differences between 4K and 1080p are small on any TV,
