Has anyone calculated how long it'll take 4K to become the norm?

Just wondering something, When did 1080p become the norm and how long did ittake to get there? I wanna try and estimate how long it'll take for 4K broadcat/display will be on tv's. and for sale at reasonable prices etc.

first 1000-lines TV was broadcasted by the BBC in 1940 ,,,
in the mid-80ies, socalled D2-MAC was established as a norm, and  was used '92 for broadcasting the Olympics from Barcelona.
in the US, '96 HD-tv was broadcasted on a regular base... Japan launched HD-tv around 2000...
There are few hurdles to go: standards, bandwidth and content.
Standards - are just a pita ... licences, patents, 'political' interests. 4k is incredible amount of data, so compression is of paramount importance - but which one? h265? VP8? ...
Bandwidth - actual satelite transmissions are for economic reasons often 'crunched to death': by numbers a 1080 picture, but so highly compressed it looks more like VHS
Speaking of VHS: the 'tape wars' then (VHS vs. the 'better' betamax), was finally decided by the p***-industry...
which leads to 'content': the fail of home-3D is mainly based upon the lack of content. each 'standard'=company offers a few titles - done.
To produce now in 4k is probably the future-proof decision; but as long as the consumer has no real 4k-'experience', we will stay with 1080p for quiet a while.
My personal foreseeing is:
4k-screens are used to display multiple pictures simultanously - just watch how the younger generations consume media: watching a YT-video, searching for the next, 'texting' WhatsApp meanwhile, receiving pics by FB, listening to Spotify all the time..
.. and maybe, some content gets delivered in native 4k ..

  • Recently ordered an unlocked iphone 4s on Nov. 24th. However, I have yet to receive a shipment notification email. Status of order has been on processing items for a week now. Anyone know how long it generally takes to receive shipment notification?

    I recently ordered an unlocked iphone 4s from the apple store online on Nov. 24th. However, I have yet to receive a shipment notification email. The status of my order has been on processing items for a week now. Does anyone know how long it generally takes to receive shipment notification?

    I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
    On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
    I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
    I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

  • How long does it take to delete all the files in a lost MacBook Pro?

    How long does it take to delete all the files in a lost MacBook Pro?

    Quite a while since there may be 1/2 million files or more to delete. There is only one quick way, and that is to reformat the drive.

  • How do I use Firebug with a website I created? I want to see how long each thing takes to load on the page. The server is very slow.

    I have created a website/blog with Wordpress. It appears to be on a slow server because it can't be opened or takes forever to open. A representative from Wordpress told me to download Firebug to find out how long each thing takes to load on the page. I downloaded Firebug but I can't figure out how to use it. Please advise.

    OK. You've kind of skipped over the reason why you want to go back five hours, but my assumption would be that you've made changes to a Pages file that you want to revert.
    There are two ways to tackle this. From Pages itself, open the current version of your document, and from the File menu, click Revert To, and Browse All Versions. You'll then be in the Time Machine interface for that file, and can browse back to the version you want.
    Or, outside of Pages, you can select the file (or the folder it was originally in, if you've since deleted it) and enter Time Machine from the TM menu (it sounds like you've already tried this?)

  • How long would it take if I order the iPhone 5s Friday?

    I want to order the new iPhone 5S friday morning and let it deliver in Germany. How long would it take before it arrives? It would be perfect if it arrives the 27th of september...

    Depends on how many iPhones Appel Germany has for pre-order.
    Place your order as soon as possible to get earliest delivery.
    Other than the above, there is nothing your fellow users can tell you,
    Key factors will be how many iPhones are available and how many are
    gone before your place your order - no one knows either number know.

  • How long does it take to delete an old user/administrator from my MacBook Pro?  Hours/Days?

    I just bought a new 2011 MacBook Pro and I want to give my late 2006 MacBook Pro to my niece for college.  It's in near-perfect condition.
    I'm trying to delete all of my user info and files.  I went ahead and created an account for her as an "administrator".  Then, I logged off from my account, logged in as her and then tried to delete my old account under System Settings / Accounts.
    I got as far as to remove the user account and to delete the home folder for my old user account.  Now it says "Deleting account..." under my user name.  It's been this way for about 6 hours.
    I have no way of knowing how long it takes, but does anyone know if it takes hours?  A full day?  With no status bar to indicate the deletion process, I have no way of knowing if my old computer is "stuck" or if it's actually working.  I have yet to try and stop the process for fear of screwing something up.  But if anyone has any idea how long this might take, I'd appreciate it so I can move on and do other things while this computer just "does its thing".
    Thanks!

    Cool.  Thanks for the response back.
    The late 2006 is running on OS X Lion (10.7). 
    As for the "Activity Monitor", where would I find that?  I tried to search for it...but nothing popped up.
    I did, however, "get info" on the hard drive icon and noticed that the available disc space has gotten bigger, which would indicate to me that there have been some program and file deletions during the course of the day.  In fact, when I started the process, there was only about 50Gb of disc space available.  But, it seems like that number has doubled, which indicates to me the disc space is slowly freeing up. 
    Again, it would be nice to some how know how long it would take.  Maybe this "activity monitor" is something I can find and see.

    I tried to update the software overnight, and it was still in the beginning stages of the progress bar when I woke up.  When I restarted the process I have to restore the phone, its again stuck in the beginning of the process. Does anyone know how long this should take?  The beginning sections seemed to fly by.

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,

  • How long does apple take to send a motherboard? (From the Us to Europe)

    My new 17'' macbook pro had a problem with its motherboard so apple will send me a new one. Does anyone know how long it will take to arrive at my house?

    In fact, Apple doesn't sell parts directly to end users at all. New Apple parts can only be bought by Apple authorized service providers and Apple's own service technicians. From whom did you order this board?

  • IPhone 4 water damage - Replacement (how long will it take?)

    If i just completely broke my iphone 4 (won't even turn on) due to water damage I understand that I can get a $199 refurbished replacement.
    I was just wondering if anyone knew how long it would take to get the replacement phone. For example, if I went into the store gave them my old phone, would I be leaving with the replacement phone that day or would they have to send it to me in the mail?
    Thanks in advance.

    If you take the iPhone to an Apple Store, then unless they happen to be out of stock on replacement units, you'll walk out with one.
    Regards.

  • HT4539 How long does it take to download itunes match?

    Hello,
    I subscribed to itunes Match 2 days ago and it is still downloading,  does anyone know how long this process takes?

    iTunes Match is a service. There is no software to download or upload. What is happening is your iTunes library is being mirrored in the cloud by iTunes comparing what is in your library to what is availble on the iTunes Store. Any tracks that are not "purchased" or "matched" will be uploaded. How long the process takes is dependent on the size of your iTunes library and the upload speed of your internet connection. Based on these two things the process can takes hours, days, or weeks. Just be patient.

  • How long does it take for cc to download to desktop?

    Hi everyone  - I just signed up for CC and can't seem to download the desktop version. The installer is just hanging forever on my desktop. Does anyone know how long it should take to install?

    Hi Goonerang,
    You can try adjusting the location of your temporary directory.  This will be a system configuration issue though and not adjustable through the Adobe Download Assistant itself.
    Many factors, such as the connection type and network traffic, affect download speed. See Troubleshoot download problems
    Let me know if it helps.
    Thanks!

  • Updated app metadata but App Store unchanged - how long does it take?

    This morning I posted an update to my application metadata to tell users about a bug that was found in my app that was posted last night, that I'm working to fix the problem and post a version update. However the App Store is not showing my updated metadata. When I log in to iTunes Connect it shows the updated data, but not on App Store. Anyone knows how long it usually takes until the metadata gets updated?

    Just to update others, it took me from morning-time in Israel until the evening. I suspect that as soon as the working day in California started the App Store people start reviewing changes and approving them manually. ***** that you have to wait, but that's life. In the meantime I updated my website. My app requires the users to go through my website to access a server utility so fortunately for me I can post urgent updates on my website, but for other developers I imagine it may be quite annoying if they want to announce an urgent bug or problem and have to wait.

  • How long does it take to access app store during a Lion reinstall?

    After updating Safari, it does not respond at all. I am reinstalling OS X 10.7.5. I attempted this last night it never could sign into the app store. I began the process again and found that it was taking a while to begin the procss. How long should it take to start accessing the app store?

    App Store should be there at the push of a key,  depending on your download speed.
