CES 2014 4K TV: The newest and most advanced format in television seems to have arrived. If last year the idea of a 4K TV is to far-fetched and impossible, the past week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas reveal that it’s not the case today.

Pete Pachal of Mashable ask, Will every screen be 4K in the future?” It may not, but what the past week has shown is the format has arrived and will be the new standard in hi-res displays.

All major TV manufacturers like Samsung, LG, Sony, Sharp and Vizio, has unveiled 4K TVs at several screen sizes. Vizio’s 120-inch 4K TV is the largest TV unveiled beating Samsung’s 110-inch Ultra HD TV. The entry level sets for the TV, which gets you a 50-inch 4K TV from Vizio, starts at $999.
According to Pachal, the new 4K TV sets now include HDMI 2.0 connectors, which makes them compatible with everything the 4K format can throw at them, including frame rates of up to 60fps.

Netflix’s Reed Hastings was at LG and Sony’s news conferences and was billed by Mashable as the “4K’s biggest evangelist.” Hastings was at Sony’s when the electronics giant announced their partnership with Netflix to focus on 4K content. The Netflix CEO also assured attendees that they will be streaming 4K in a way that doesn’t choke the Internet.

Sony has doubled the native 4K offerings they will have available in its Video Unlimited downloading service. Amazon and M-Go has said that they would both begin offering 4K content this year. YouTube was also amongst the companies jumping into the bandwagon, saying that it will stream 4K content using less bandwidth and lining up hardware partnerships to make it happen.

Mashable notes that at CES, the format has seemed to achieve some kind of critical mass. What we need to stay tuned for now is if the format will become commonplace. Pachal wrote that at the moment, there is no broadcast standard for 4K, for cable or satellite. There is also no disc format to have a 4K picture played on one of these TV sets.

It remains to be seen how people would adapt to this new technology, but as some of the biggest leaders in tech has already shown, 4K is worth the look.
