At the IFA trade show today, the BDA has confirmed plans to finalize the spec for 4K Blu-ray development. The first 4K disc players should start rolling out to stores during the 2015 holiday season.
If CES was any indicator, UHDTVs are going to be big over the next few years, and that means there’s going to need to be 4K content to go along with them. The problem is trying to figure out just how to go about it, be it streaming, downloadable or disc based.
When it comes to sound, it doesn’t get much better than Blu-ray. Or at least that’s what we thought before Dolby announced that they’re improving things even more. They’re going to be using TrueHD technology along with 96K upsampling to provide the best audio possible for the home environment.
