1/14/15: "We saw lots of 4K TVs at CES. 4K content? Not so much."

Excerpt:

"So how much 4K content is out there right now? According to Ultraflix, which wants to become the Netflix of the 4K generation, not a lot: Just 500 hours or so, according to Aaron Taylor, Nanotech Entertainment’s senior vice president of sales and marketing. This includes the MGM movies Rocky, Robocop, Rain Man, Fargo, and The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly; some IMAX documentaries and concert footage; and miscellaneous other productions. Content providers are also holding back some of their own 4K content as incentives for consumers to sign on to their own services. But more and more will become available, especially as filmmakers continue to shoot in the 4K format, and as studios (once again) mine their archives.

Expect to pay up to $9.99 for a 48-hour rental of 4K content, Taylor said, although electronic sales are also coming. M-Go, a joint venture between Technicolor and DreamWorks Animation, will allow users to download 4K content that they have purchased and play it back on a Samsung SUHD TV."
