And I still think the amount of full frame shows is so small, black bars on the sides would be just as minimal. Tv shows framed at 1:85:1 would easily be able to be justified to fit a 21:9 framed tv.

I see them all over Wal-Mart. They are the Phillips 21:9 displays that they put at the end of end-caps to advertise various products. They are usually turned vertically. I believe Phillips has since folded though, right?

A lot of that going around here.

+1. It's like reading the last paragraph only of a news article.

I originally thought that we would not be finding out the next hdtv screen resolution would be until 2015. But, from what i posted on the first post of this forum thread meaning the website links, it appears as if 2160P will be coming out sooner rather then later.

Right, 4K displays are hitting shelves next month, but you're missing the point. There's hardly any content yet. HD cable/sat is still only able to handle highly compressed 1080i/p, which is about the equivalent of 480p upconverted. The only 4K content available right of this moment is Sony's digital collection device, which is running around $800 and only contains a handful of films.

When do you suppose that 2160P(4K) Blu-ray movies will start to be released, considering that 4K displays and likely 4K BD players are hitting shelves in stores by next month ?

There are no 4K players hitting stores next month because there is no content for any player to play in the first place. As I told you more than once earlier in this thread the BDA is still working on the specs for a larger capacity BD to handle 4K resolution. The only thing hitting stores next month are 4K displays, period.

I think this post alone should be enough to end any questions here on the availability of 4K and its content.

I'm not a troll. I am just trying to find out when 2160P ultrahdtv's and 2160P BD players and 2160P BD movies will start to come out, considering that its been 2005 that 1080P was released.

4K Displays: Next Month
Native 4K Content: Unknown

Got it now? Also, 1080p displays actually came out in limited numbers in 2004. It ended up being about 2 years after that until we got an actual format(s), which was BD and HD DVD.

So only the 2160P ultra hdtv's and not the 2160P BD movies and not the 2160P BD players yet, right ? What about hdmi cables that support that hd screen resolution ?

I've answered the same questions from you multiple times. Maybe you need to go back and reread my answers.

Oh, i see. So 2160P ultra hdtv's coming in May. As for 2160P BD movies they are probably coming in either 2013, or 2014 but i am only guessing on that though.

Yes. I have no interest in the 2008 - 2010 films. I'm interested in the older ones. Glory as well as Ghostbusters, and Groundhog Day whenever that one comes out, since I know they did that one.

I noticed on amazon.com that there are webpages for these upcoming BD releases with 4K(2160P), that are already listed on there now as well. Also, i found this bit of information on amazon.com on all the webpages for the upcoming 4K(2160P) movies on BD > http://www.amazon.com/s?url=search-a...qid=1366504323 .....

So from what it sounds like it says that i have highlighted above, people will be able to use their current hdtv's and blu-ray players. Which is a good thing for people that might of recently bought 1080P hdtvs and 1080P blu-ray players. Oh, and i almost forgot to mention this, that those BD releases i posted a link to on amazon.com and from here on blu-ray.com, have a May 14th 2013 BD release date. Maybe that is going to be when hdtv's and blu-ray players with the next hdtv resolution number after 1080P will be released, meaning 2160P .

What all of this means is that you are still getting 1080P and they are just using the 4K master as the source. Nothing more! These are in no way, shape or form 4K movies and the resolution is absolutely not 2160P.

It's all marketing so they can get people to re-buy titles they already have at a very marginal improvement in picture quality. Don't fall for it people!!

Once 4K TVs are affordable and there is a standard 4K format for home movies then these discs will be crap. In the end they are still 1080P and the only thing that a 4K player and TVs can do with them is to upconvert the picture, the same way your current blu ray players and 1080P TVs do for DVDs.
