I am limited to 60GBs download per month, so downloading 4K content would eat this up pretty quickly. Besides which, I am happy with the resolution of the content I get now, so it doesn't really bother me that much, maybe in a couple of years I will change my mind.

Simple lack of an Android streaming app, poor layout on Smart TV's(bluray players too) , old selection of films and shows compared to Netflix and Now TV,

means Amazon Instant Video is slowing sinking into the ground.

But is it -REALLY- 4k? Or is it like Netflix' supposed 1080p which is so washed out and overcompressed to be near unwatchable on a normal telly IMO.

Seems doubtful tbh. I reckon only when there's a new gen of UltraBluRay or UHD-DVD will we get uncompressed video in large quantities.

I don't like the idea of my neighbours clogging the Interweb superhighway with tons of 4k data anyway... ;-)
