Oh, the beauty of progress. Just a few months back, Epson seemed fairly content showing off an HTPS panel with a WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) resolution, though today that very product just seems lackluster. Up until now, 4K x 2K projectors were reserved strictly for cinemas, businesses and consumers with a) more money than sense and b) room for a 200-pound beamer in their basement. The planet's first 4K-compatible high-temperature polysilicon (HTPS) TFT liquid crystal panel for 3LCD projectors measures just 1.64-inches and supports displays with resolutions as high as 4,096 x 2,160. Your guess is as good as ours as to when this stuff will actually hit the market in a functioning product, but yesterday is as good a day as any to start saving up.[Via Akihabara News]
no all we need is HD Walls
now....
I think this technology almost brings that. 4K resolution is pretty clear at wall-sizes of 150-180" diagonally imo since 1080p looks clear at 100-120". As long as your home doesn't have rediculously large rooms, you might be able to buy a lot of these an hdmi splitter/repeater that supports 12x outputs, a lot of cheap long hmdi install quality cables from whatever online site and you could have an hd wall in every room. Just be prepared to add $100,000.00 onto the cost of your house. Mind you, if you are already paying $500,000.00 for a large house, that doesn't seem like that huge of an increase.
All we need is a replacement in the form of LEDs for Xenon arc lamps so there is no need for HTPS.
Where is the source media going to come from? Are 4k Blu-rays in the near future?
