Ultra High Definition TV
 

http://www.japanprobe.com/2011/05/22...definition-tv/





This 85″ LCD display has a resolution of 7,680 x 4,320 pixels, which is equivalent to 16 times the resolution of HDTV, allowing for the display of incredibly detailed, high-quality images.

In the past the only way to show the Ultra High Definition broadcast at full resolution was using a projector, but due to Sharp?s UV2A LCD technology, which allows for an unprecedented level of precision when controlling the alignment of liquid crystal molecules in an LCD structure, Sharp have been able to create a flawless 33megapixel display.

Isn't anything above 2k just diminishing returns where visual perception is concerned? Looks like it would be overkill.

That will never be mainsteam.

3-4 years tops

That picture is incredible! It looks like a window through to real life... I think its fantastic, but I wouldnt like to purchase the camera to film true 7000*5000 :(

Nice bit of equipment :)

I was thinking the same thing. If you compress images (JPG vs RAW) you lose quality. At some point the video compression will cancel out the quality of pixel display.

Prediction: 25 years from now, compression will be almost lossless (99.8% RAW), and pixels in displays will be imperceptible to the human eye (26,000x16000 pixels). It's just a matter of time.

Sharp is doing some very good and interesting things lately, I'm still an LG man though.

nice bit of kit

What resolutiin is real life anyway?

Anything is better than 3D shit!

I was going to purchase a 3d camera to check out the material when watching it.. do you think it wont take off?

Ofcourse it will :)

I must get one asap!

Nope. No ultra HD content. Networks and cable channels have spent tens of millions upgrading to HD. They're not going to spend millions more in just a few years to upgrade to ultra HD. Not to mention broadcast network can't even handle 1080p so they certainly can't handle ultra HD. Cable and satellite companies have limited bandwidth so unless they only want to offer 1/8 the channels they have now they can't do ultra HD either. No ultra HD online steaming either. Most people don't have connections fast enough to handle it and won't for the foreseeable future. At least not in the US. Even if they did, bandwidth caps that ISPs are now enforcing will make ultra HD useless. All those companies that spent BILLIONS developing blu-ray are not in a hurry to go to ultra HD format. They are still trying to make money on blu-ray. So if there is no content then no one will buy these things.

I'm pretty damn happy with regular HD now that most networks and channels have finaly upgraded to it and prices have dropped to be affordable to most people.

Also, look at the production end of UltraHD. It's already a pain in the ass to post-produce effects and edit for 1080p. Just imagine going 8 times bigger. The amount of hard drive space and computing power needed would be incredible.

As a digital animator, I'm still just getting into rendering in HD, which takes up so much more time. Now 3D is getting popular, which means rendering double frames(one for each eye) -- and they eventually want to spring this UltraHD shit, which will be crazy to render and display during After Effects processing.

We're just moving way too fast.

We'll be going back to pluggable VCR sized tapes called "hard drives"

3-D is a fad and will be done in 5 years. Sales of 3-D TVs are a joke. What all these posters saying it's inevitable don't get is there is only so much bandwidth. Boprcaster use 6 MHZ wide channels and have amax bitrate of 19 MBps. Which is barely suitable for 1080i. Espeically since broadcasters still use mpeg2 compression. Now if they switch to mpeg4( which no broadcasters I know have any desire to do ) you can do 1080p. But that's it. No way you could do 2k let alone 4k. DirecTv uses Mpeg4 they barely have enough bandwidth for what they currently have. Now way you're getting 4k TVs. In 2025 TVs will still be 1080p.

Porn site will be claiming their videos are in Ultra HD in a matter of months...

would be useless for years until TV and movie industry buys cameras that support it
