Excellent post, Mr. Goodman. Thank you.

Yeah, I know. I spent a couple of days researching various options for importing a Seiki from the US. Cheapest shipping option was 350 Euros and would have taken a couple of weeks. FedEx quote was...

Seiki, or their parent company to be more precise, told me in an email that they will launch European 4K models in the near future. They already announced their 4K models at IBC, in the Netherlands,...

Paul, my point is that no amount of expensive post-conversion can make a proper 3D movie out of a movie designed, composed and edited for 2D. However, a 2D shoot done with post-conversion in mind,...

3D is out? Tell that to Disney and all the other studios who pump money into 3D post-conversions in order to charge premium ticket prices. 3D helps break BO records so studios won't let it die. If...

Quite the contrary, Paul. I applaud your decision. The best of luck with the application!

Has anyone tested the new version yet?

Seiki is launching EU models in the "near future", according to an email I received from them.

Awesome stuff, thanks Vitaliy. I'd like to see pricing and delivery info before committing fully, however.

There are no Blu-rays with Deep color because it's not supported/allowed by the Blu-ray spec.


Blackmagic Intensity Pro has a 10-bit HDMI output, I've been told.

Nice find, thanks! Interesting how this mentions 3D many times...

Ditto. Been reading a lot about it (and other "too good to be true" energy technologies) and it deffo sounds like a hoax. Would love to be proved wrong, obviously.

GT120 and GTX285 are both from 2009, neither will do 4K over HDMI. With DVI-to-HDMI adapter, who knows?

As for AMD, I believe their Southern Islands series cards were the first AMD ones to support...

It supports both 4K formats, broadcast and theatrical.

Excellent. That's fantastic news, thanks!

Elsie, there are now basically two different variants of HDMI 1.4. There's the original, non-3GHz one which can't do 4K -- and the newer "Fast HDMI" 3GHz one which supports 4K. But both can be, and...

OK fine, but I was talking about HDMI output, not DVI. That's a different kettle of fish altogether.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. Got an email from Seiki today, telling me their US models are not CE certified... but they will launch European models "in the near future".

My alarm bells tend to go off very easily whenever I see anyone using the word "quantum". Quacks and woo merchants are very quick to use it to explain any amount of horse****. Now, I'm not saying...

GTX 560 Ti hails from 2010 and is built on Fermi, so it won't output 4K over HDMI. First Kepler-based cards were released in March 2012.

Nvidia cards built on the Fermi architecture, like the GTX 460, cannot output 4K over HDMI. The card may have HDMI 1.4 but it's not the 3GHz version which is required for 4K output.

GTX 680MX is based on Kepler architecture and supports 4K output over HDMI and DisplayPort.

Nothing to do with drivers: GTX 460 simply lacks the necessary hardware for 4K output.

That info claims it's a 3D panel. Interesting.

I'm pretty sure it won't work, unfortunately.
