4K Blu-ray content on the horizon?

[stephen buccleugh]

[I don't understand this thread's addressing 4K bluray as "about to arrive"!

Surely you must know that The Thin Red Line (criterion), Bridge on the river quai, the citizen kane restoration, the wizard of ozz and many others transfering at 4K resolution to bluray are already on the market scanned from 4K masters!

And don't forget Baraka was scanned from a 7K digital intermediate!!

I know our current systems can't display this much resolution, but this is the direction home video wil go once we get new players and screens capable of displaying full resolution. Can you imagine watching a movie with over 2000 lines of vertical resolution?????

I hope I live to see it.
