DirectTV and Samsung has teamed up to finally make 4K content available to everyone.
I went to a Costco in Danville, California and to my surprise they were promoting DirectTV being able to delivery 4K content directly into specific Samsung 4K Smart LED TV with DVR functionality without needing a typical satellite set-top box. In general 4K content is really hard to get so this is a nice way to help jump start the 4K TV market.
The DirectTV salesperson claimed that any of this year's Samsung 4K Smart LED TV would be able to support DirectTV at 4K resolutions at 60fps. The 4K content really looks really smart and so it this exclusive deal between Samsung and DirectTV.
