4K is going to be incredibly niche because it's hugely expensive for broadcasters to make the switch, and no broadcaster wants to have to spend money they're not going to get about a ten year return on.mistercrayon wrote:Maybe the jp one gonna be in 8k?

It hasn't been decided yet afaik, but increasingly, big events like the final will be shot in 4K and just downscaled to HD for us plebs. The problem is that while the lens and camera technology has caught up with the standards we're used to working with, there just isn't enough of it being bought by anyone to facilitate an entire tournament of that size. They've still got a couple of years to make a decision though.The Daddy wrote:On such matters though, will the next world cup be the next big TV step-up?

Good luck to him! Worth bearing in mind that the main Olympic park is nowhere near Rio. In fact it's a good 30-40km away from the main body of the city to the west in Barra.

My mate who sorted all my tickets at 2012 is off, he's going to pretty much everything again. Will be interested to hear how he gets on, he's sorted accommodation via air bnb so he's probably virtually dead already.

Don't drink the water. Don't have ice in drinks because it's made with the tap water. Salad will also have been washed with tap water. Basically everything will give you the shits and you need to take a crate of Loperimide with you.
