I guess if maybe that resolution was plastered over a 360 degree experience?]]>Jan 14th 2008 1:50PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/14/33-megapixel-super-hi-vision-ultra-hdtv-could-be-on-the-air-in/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/14/33-megapixel-super-hi-vision-ultra-hdtv-could-be-on-the-air-in/
In fact, many people out there still don't see a need for it.]]>Jan 14th 2008 2:59PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/14/33-megapixel-super-hi-vision-ultra-hdtv-could-be-on-the-air-in/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/14/33-megapixel-super-hi-vision-ultra-hdtv-could-be-on-the-air-in/Jan 14th 2008 4:42PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/14/33-megapixel-super-hi-vision-ultra-hdtv-could-be-on-the-air-in/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/14/33-megapixel-super-hi-vision-ultra-hdtv-could-be-on-the-air-in/
With correction, I have 20/20 vision, and on a 150" 1080p projected image, sitting 10ft away, I can see the narrow gaps between the pixel rows. I think 4k at 100" is still a visible improvement, and UHDTV at 200" is probably still a visible improvement. I've seen the NHK UHDTV demo on a 300" screen. The funny thing is that it had a single stuck pixel.

I think this assumption
"Based on the resolving ability of the human eye (with 20/20 vision it is possible to resolve 1/60th of a degree of an arc)"

Is based on the ability to see that two different shapes that size are indeed different (a square from a circle), which means that 20/20 human vision can probably resolve about 1/120th of a degree.]]>Jan 14th 2008 5:29PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/14/33-megapixel-super-hi-vision-ultra-hdtv-could-be-on-the-air-in/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/14/33-megapixel-super-hi-vision-ultra-hdtv-could-be-on-the-air-in/Jan 14th 2008 2:14PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/14/33-megapixel-super-hi-vision-ultra-hdtv-could-be-on-the-air-in/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/14/33-megapixel-super-hi-vision-ultra-hdtv-could-be-on-the-air-in/

Especially when you consider the upcoming 75-85" displays, having 2160p (1080p x 2) or above would not be bad...if anything, to reduce the pixel size and visibility. Imagine the pixel size of a 42" 1080p display on a 84" display :-)]]>Jan 14th 2008 5:42PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/14/33-megapixel-super-hi-vision-ultra-hdtv-could-be-on-the-air-in/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/14/33-megapixel-super-hi-vision-ultra-hdtv-could-be-on-the-air-in/
What you end up with is a picture that gets *fuzzier* as you get closer, as opposed to a picture that gets blockier.]]>Jan 14th 2008 7:23PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/14/33-megapixel-super-hi-vision-ultra-hdtv-could-be-on-the-air-in/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/14/33-megapixel-super-hi-vision-ultra-hdtv-could-be-on-the-air-in/Jan 15th 2008 10:02AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/14/33-megapixel-super-hi-vision-ultra-hdtv-could-be-on-the-air-in/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/14/33-megapixel-super-hi-vision-ultra-hdtv-could-be-on-the-air-in/
I can see Quad HD taking off soon but this thing got a long way to go before it's mainstream.
