Samsung SDI shows off 63-inch 4k x 2k plasma

There's a slight possibility that you haven't noticed, but Samsung SDI is on fire. Like, seriously burning down FPD International 2008. After treating onlookers to a flexible OLED, a 40-inch Full HD OLED display and an assortment of other eye-enticing panels, the outfit has one-upped itself once more with a 63-inch 4k x 2k plasma. Sure, actually finding 4k x 2k content will be a challenge, but who wouldn't want to be ready for the inevitable worldwide domination of Super Hi-Vision? Most of the other specs (contrast ratio, luminance, where it's being stored with loose security, etc.) were sadly absent, but with a native resolution like this, the rest takes a back seat anyway.

Finally, all my 720 and 1080 HD at native resolution! Where do I pick one up?

2K displays allow more headroom when playing back 1080p content. Remember how only one display could resolve all 1080 lines while there was motion on the screen (HDguru). Every 2K display can easily display all 1080 lines. So a 2K display holds advantages over 1080 displays even if 2K content ever comes.

Contrast ratio will NEVER take a backseat to resolution. The day resolution becomes more important (unless the resolution is just terrible) is the day I stop caring about the quality of the picture and buy an LCD over a Plasma.

How close do you have to be for this to make any sense?

Can HDMI support this resolution? or we going to DisplayPort?
