Cup Final – in 4K on BBC iPlayer

That must be for those who have no terrestrial channel services BL, right? As it’s also on Beeb1 right now.

Sorry, I didn’t know that BL. As my declining sight can tell no difference between that and HD 1080p, I have never considered it.

I often wonder what my parents would make of even 1080p. Or my big brother, who passed in 1988. For my dad, the big news was colour TV, which meant he could watch snooker without wondering which grey ball was which. And football, which let him see shirt colours again, that he had not seen since his last live match many years before. That’s when he began stealing TV time from my mother!

That’s probably because 1080p is upscalled on a 4k TV, so the difference isn’t that great. If you sit close enough you could tell, but form the standard distance of further it all looks the same.

Current stood looking at a 55inch 4k TV (1080p us), a a 40 inch 1080p and 2x 24 inch 720p all showing golf. From where I am they all look as sharp as each other. They are all 10 to 30 foot away from me.
