Over a year ago we first heard of a technology referred to as both Super Hi-Vision or UHDTV as it was also known as. At the time the resolutions it was expected to show were a very high 7680 x 4320 making it the equivalent of 16 HDTV’s.
We spotted a TV built by LG recently that claims to show a UHDTV resolution although this particular screen has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. What it allows you to do is get real close up to the TV and still see a clear image.
The main problem is that it is expected that the higher 7680 x 4320 resolution screens could be seen in around 2020 along with content created at that resolution. The question has to be asked if an in-between resolution that LG have made would be worth aiming for. Currently no content is created at that resolution, so is it worth switching equipment over to something that wont be around for much longer after that?
Also, are there any benefits to a regular home sized screen of say 40 – 50 inches to display higher than 1080p? or should it be just reserved for the huge screens? Who knows. Maybe the larger content will allow zooming in to zones of the screen showing more details for those who want to see more detail. One thing to note is that the images shown here are of an 84 inch LG screen.
Relating to the Sony Playstation 4, I personally think the PS4 will focus on making good 1080p content rather than focussing on too many things.
