Richard, would you care to comment on the possible risk of using digital cameras that match the resolution of commonly available consumer display equipment?

With film they can improve the telecine up until the limits of the film (we recently see the Blade Runner FX elements given an 8K telecine) but if you've shot on 1920x1080 digital, that is your maximum for eternity.

We see WQXGA monitors, and the announcement of the 2160p Panasonic plasma. So, the consumer equipment is already starting to exceed 1920x1080p.

I guess, there is also the DI issue too if film is used. If all the FX are done at the resolution of the DI, then that pretty much locks the feature into the DI resolution forever too, doesn't it?
