So how do you go 4K? Do you need an amp if you have a 4K ultra hd Blu-Ray player?

As above. Just wondering if you need an amp or not? Can you get away with just a 4k Blu-Ray player and TV?

If your bluray has 2 Hdmi with 1 for sound and the other for video, then you don't need to upgrade your AV reciever. If you want both atmos and dtsx then the new Amos should HDR compatible any way. Some atmos Amos like mine are not HDR compliant do I would have to have 1 Hdmi to the TV and the other to my amp. And, obviously I would also need to buy a 4k TV.

you are getting the bug aren't you gel I.e. New OLED Panasonic TV and 4k BD :)

Cheers mate. I am getting the bug a bit but not sure if 4K is worth it? Or if it's just a fad like 3D?

I can't see every 4K ultra hd Blu-Ray player having 2 HDMI inputs just like 3D? I guess we will pay extra for 2 HDMI inputs.

First player from Samsung only appears to have 1 HDMI out.

Probably worth waiting for Marantz, Oppo etc to release their players but if people cant wait at about £400 the price of early admissision is not too bad a pill a swallow if your desperate for it

I reckon Oppo will be about £600.
