1440p

[WickyWoo]

I seriously doubt you will ever seen any software to take advantage of it. Game systems will eventually take advantage though

[DavePS3]

I think you can be sure of one thing... this medium will keep evolving. The industry never stagnates... you can bet resolution will eventually go up.

I heard the ps6 is 1400000p

do you remember back when the ps2 came out and they had that comercial about the ps9. and at the end it said ps2: the beginning. that was the best comercial ever!

From what I've seen, the next step will be the Digital Cinema 2K format, then the 4K format at some point.

Don't confuse display resolution with content/distribution resolution. Displays can do whatever they want by scaling.

I dont think much advancements in resolution will be made. I think advancements in media in terms of reaching uncompressed video will be the next logical stage to go.

DVD was the same for over 10 years. So dont expect 1440p to be around for awhile. Whatever the next standard is (probably BD) will exist for a long time. People are still catching up to 1080p at their homes.

The 1440p will be more common in computer monitors first. Higher resolution and more screen space there is always changing.. and video cards already support resolutions in the 2500's.

to me, that's dumb, WHY in the HELL would you want to sit farther away from a larger screen?

to me, when you are sitting further away from a larger screen, you are proportionatley keeping the screen size the same as if you were sitting closer to a smaller tele. sorta defeats the point of buying a big screen tv dontcha think?

i want my field of vision enveloped, not the same as what was provided by my older model.

Actually a big/main advantage to a big tv is your can sit back further. To an extent a larger tv at a closer distance just makes the picture worse. Once you pass 40" or so bigger tvs are made so you can sit farther. My dad for example gets 50"+ tvs because he sits a good distance back due to large living room.

A bigger tv does NOT mean a better picture!

You are laughing but i have watched 1440p on my 2560x1600 screen and i was stunned.

You don't really think home theatre has peaked with 1080, do you? Major advancements in technology is how these electronic companies keep us buying new equipment, constantly upgrading our experience. If it's not 1440, then it will be something. And maybe not in the near future, but 10 or so years down the road, we will see the next big thing. And we will all be broke again.

[Calgaryman24]

ahh i see. I wonder if Bluray players would need a firmware update to take advantage of even higher resolutions than 1080p.

[spicynacho]

Doubtful. HDTV is being pushed by the FCC with the end to analog broadcasts. The next step (for home theater) will probably be at 4K. This is what some digital projectors for movie theaters use right now. Anything less would be a HD DVDesque half step.

In actuality, what will probably happen is 1080p will be the standard for about 10-20 years, then we will have ultra HD 7680 x 4320 Pixels. It is under development by the same people that came up with HDTV about 20 years ago.

Why do people believe this? Digital TV is being pushed, not HDTV.

It's going to take at least another decade to get a 720p minimum set in 85% of households (mass penetration).

1440p is not going to be anything but an extra feature for gamers on the highest of high end TVs and on computer monitors. Sure you might see it for professional installations, but not for the consumer market software

My PC Monitor is already 1600P running at 2600x1600, wasn't Toshiba supposed to release XHD TV sets this year? and OT but WTF happened to Laser TV's they were due Holiday season 07

[MotionBlurr]

As time goes by technology get better but our eyes get older and we won't even able to see 480i but hopefully our children will enjoy it.

No, it won't. The likeliness of 1440p in the near future is a financial aberration.

Imagine that last year, the installed base of 16:9 TVs in the main European markets was close to 20 percent. Not flat screens, I'm talking about SD and HD sets! It took 10 years of DVD and satellite programming, so that 1 household out of 5 had a 16:9 TV in Western Europe.

Imagine the ratio for the entire planet. It would be like, 1 or 2 percent?

My point is that putting HD screens into people's homes is perhaps the most gigantic project that Consumer Electronics undertook in all times. It will be years and years before 1080p televisions become commonplace in our homes. You can bet that CE and entertainment industries won't attempt another upgrade during our generations.

The same reasoning goes for content. TV channels can't handle 1080p yet -- too much data to encode in real time and too much data to broadcast. As for HDM, they're already trying very hard to get Blu-ray past the 1 or 2% DVD market share.

1440p is nothing but a wild dream in the R&D labs. I remember visiting the Thomson CE labs in the early Nineties, where they were already testing blue laser technology. Look at how long it took before it became industrially and financially viable.

I agree, but at the same time, if a certain advancement comes along it may be too tempting for a CE company to say to a consumer: Hey, look what our new tv's can do! Even if it's just for the uber rich consumer who just has to have everything under the sun.

Maybe the next step will transcend beyond pixels which would mean that resolution won't apply.

Are you talking about 3D? Resolution is measured in voxels. Resolution still applies and probably will always apply.
