Question Did Blu-ray resolution take a big enough leap?
DVD to Blu-ray took video resolution from 480p (about 720x480) to 1080p (1920x1080). Could blu-ray have gone further and jumped right to 1440p (2560x1440 to maintain 16:9)?

Was the technology to get the bit-rate there at the time? I'm pretty sure the TV resolution could have been easily done. Computer monitors have been supporting 2560x1600 for many years now after all.

Does anyone know why blu-ray stopped at 1080p?
