I'm just not sure this is where they should concentrate.

With that said, movies are filmed in what could be considered 4000p. IMAX is even higher. But unless media is available, I dont see the point beyond outputting from a beefy computer with SLI videocards to a projector.]]>Dec 18th 2007 6:41AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/Dec 18th 2007 8:04AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/
Digital media (downloaded content) could probably be made available in the future, when/if these screens become available at an affordable price. Whether studios would want to release 4000p content into the wild is highly debatable, even if they are able to hamper it with what they perceive to be unpenetrable encryption and DRM. I could see home videos shot in 4000p, though, at some point in the future. Wouldn't it be funny if your home movies looked better than the video the studios and networks allowed you to see?]]>Dec 18th 2007 9:42AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/
480 x 9 = 4320
720 x 6 = 4320
1080 x 4 = 4320]]>Dec 18th 2007 9:00AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/Dec 18th 2007 10:36AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/
We've already reached the limit with which our eyes can detect any change in resolution. In fact, 720p should be good enough for normal TV sizes 60 inches and smaller and normal viewing distances. CNET already did a review of 1080p and 720p and found very little noticable difference. 2000 is just silly. More excuses to sell technology.]]>Dec 18th 2007 10:39AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/Dec 18th 2007 10:48AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/
If you eventually want a 65" ( which I do ) this type of resolution is a must.]]>Dec 18th 2007 11:44AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/Dec 18th 2007 12:17PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/Dec 18th 2007 12:25PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/
We haven't even got the switch-over to digital yet (which some people are reportedly mistaking for HD).

No-one is broadcasting in anything other than 720/1080i.

......and with the minute take up any high def video disc format the notion that this TV res is going to be anything beyond a point of interest amongst the tech-minded or the incredibly wealthy (or previously mentioned businesses) for at least 10yrs is just preposterous.

720p/1080i are going to be with us (eventually) for a least a decade, probably more than 2 (in Europe we had PAL for 40 yrs).

They say tech moves quickly but TV is still just TV.
No matter how much some of us like to watch movies on out large HD TVs the mainstream mass-market are really not quite so bothered.]]>Dec 18th 2007 12:40PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/
This kind of stuff makes me feel sorry for your average consumer who doesn't know any better. They just assume a bigger number is better and will gladly pay extra for specs they simply don't need.]]>Dec 18th 2007 2:12PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/
Listen, you should keep your PS3 fanboy bullshiz out of this conversation. Halo 3 ran in 1080p upscaled just fine, and never had frame problems. Hence the 60fps multiplayer. You want to talk frame rate issues, lets talk PS3 and the USA Today article bashing the PS3 over games such as Madden 08, and how shizzy they run.

With that said I think TV's need to be controlled a little bit more, because unlike computers people can't afford to upgrade them every 2 years. I'd bet the average ownership of an expensive LCD tv is 5-10 years. I've had mine a year already and hope to have it last at least 5 years more before I buy a new one.]]>Dec 18th 2007 3:33PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/Dec 18th 2007 11:47PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/18/samsung-exec-hints-at-4000-x-2000-resolution-lcd-panels/
As for ps3 fanboy, I dont own a ps3. The point i was trying to make is halo3 is a less-than-720p game. Upscaled or no, you can "upscale" ANYTHING. And I don't have a problem with that resolution, as I love my 480p Wii. My point was that game consoles would have to be beefier in order to handle such resolutions. A computer really needs two videocards running in tandem to reach acceptable playable framerates at that resolution.

Sure its great to dream, but as I said before, even though technology seems to move so fast, we arent THERE yet. Lets all worry about things that are more practical, such as OLED 1080p.]]>Dec 19th 2007 3:59AM
