Consumer Electronics Industry Announces Ultra High-Definition

[Eva01Master]

enthusiast for 1080p is 1440p.

To me if 1080P 16:9 is mainstream the enthusiast would be 1600P 16:10, 1440P 16:9 is the upper echelon of mainstream without being fully enthusiast yet.

Nice and all except for good luck finding any content at those resolutions to display. We will be stuck with 1080i broadcast in the U.S. for the foreseeable future with the cable\telco companies compressing the crap out of the data on top of it.

Even if the studios created such content, there is no storage medium to put that much data on, so we need Blue-Ray 2.0 as well.

Probably not BD 2.0, but flash based storage (with some write support, hopefully, so that bookmarks can be set, or passwords in case of content your chidren better don't watch). Optical tech will beciome too slow at some point.

Agree. Except maybe Japan, where they are doing some tests with 4K TV for an year now, the rest of the countries didn't even fully implement yet HD TV. Heck, the countries that have Full 1080p HD TV can be counted with 1 hand fingers, the rest are still in the process of implementing 720p or 1080i TV channels. Probably the PC market will evolve much faster, but I don't see any time soon 4K monitors with normal price. We need some breakthrough on GPU department also. Running a game on that native resolution today is a fast slide show at best...

yea even the 1080 signals from comcast look like their from a lower quality online streaming server. soo many squares... esp in darker scenes... though I think my friend has his tv's settings wrong

overall i'm not impressed with digital tv... looks too much like low quality hulu videos most of the time.

Neeh, is the TV signal. Because there are so many channels they need to highly compress the signal, also some channels are even 720i as I discovered with my tuner... Is simple, just compare the quality of a BluRay movie with the ones from a HD TV station. The difference is enormous!

I don't normally advocate for XBox when it comes to gaguing high-def because the 360 usually upsamples 720p to 1080p rather than rendering the game in full 1080p. Geometry Wars 2 is one of the few games that does run full 1080p and between the quality and the brightness it will show you what high def on a high contrast ratio display really can do. Playing it on an LCD vs a Plasma is night and day alone, resolution is clearly obvious in Geometry Wars 2 imho.

I also agree with movies, the quality of Bluray can be vastly superior to that of cable. However some channels are better than others as Prima.Vera stated.

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2

true... there is a big difference. He still has his settings off a bit though... he's in love with that tru-motion crap... It's cool when it works but its kinda messes up the image when it can't keep up with the action. also... his contrast settings are too bright lol. but I guess he likes it that way so i don't say anything. at least he turns off the tru-motion when gaming. (ps3 and his pc when playing star wars the old republic)

that is a nice jump!

wish they had gone with HD 3.0 as mentioned above... numbers ALWAYS work better than throwing adajectives infront of things. whats next. Super Ultra HD and then Super Duper Ultra HD?

a number scheme would have worked much better

If they had gone that route they could say hd 3.0 3d content
