I've seen some of the Quad HDTV on a trip back to asia sitting beside a regular 1080p TV..it will for sure make 1080p fanbois cry haha

whatsmore, converted from asia currency, it is only $1000~2000 more than current north american 1080p TVs..

Eh, let the suckers have it. Unless you're laying on the screen itself, or are an eagle, you won't be able to tell a sh*t of a difference between 1080p and this joke.

Too bad there is no broadcasting standard for that resolution, so it is pretty much pointless for anything other than specialized uses.

What is the resolution of real life ?

 

[NuclearNed]

There won't be any content in that format or resolution for a long time. Too many companies have too much money tied up in Blu-ray and HDDVD to jump ship so soon.

Thats a question that can't be answered how you'd like it, in a clean number, but you'd have to stand painfully close to this TV compared to 1080p to see a difference.

Yeah, I think at about a 40 degree viewing angle I wouldn't want to go any larger than that. I'd have to start turning my neck to see different parts of the screen. At this viewing angle I think you can only really tell the difference up to 1440p.

Sounds cool for computer usage, but for a regular display with nothing even close to that native res as far as source material, seems kind of pointless.

 

[GTaudiophile]

And no BR or HD DVD players will output that hight. Nor will videos be made in that resolution.

Indeed.

Eyes can reportedly see 65-85MP or something like that, BUT we only focus on 20MP or something like that at any given time as not everything is in focus.

Source resolution has peaked at 1080p for the near future. (Next 10 years or so)

Display resolution will likely go the way of digital cameras and we'll see 3, 4, 5+ megapixel displays come out in that same time frame.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

I think all TV/Video/Media needs to make a transition to 2MP before we start dreaming of 8MP displays. This will take eons to catch on.

 

[BD2003]

I just hope we'll see convincing 3d long before they keep ratcheting up pixel count for marketing purposes.

 

[Squisher]

Quick, everybody throw their HD TVs out the window.

depends on your eyes and brian

 

[0roo0roo]

depends on how quickly hd's get cheaper i guess. if in 5 years 1080p is in every house because panels become insane cheap then the high end will be open for something more.

Really. Cable companies have a hard time getting bandwidth for 720i channels right now.

The year is 2012. Quad HD is the only way. Bandwidth is no longer any concern.


And by then it will all be on demand anyway.

Did you really mean 720i?

 

[ultimatebob]

Good deal! Maybe this will bring the prices of 1080p displays down.

Just wait for Ultra High Definition

"18 minutes of uncompressed UHDV footage consumes 3.5 terabytes of data and 1 minute of footage consumes 194 gigabytes"

"Preliminary response of the UHDV was somewhat negative. This was not because of the lack of the promised technology, but more in the fact that it was too good. Some viewers got motion sickness when viewing the video image because the image was so close to reality."

Holy mother of hell...

 

[0roo0roo]

there is no too real lol

sorta like saying a speaker sounds too good right?

can't wait for 100" screens, that would be badass.

hey, just a decade ago plasma/lcd panels at even 42" woulda blown your mind. so u never know.
