A little info can be found here, hope this is true.
look at the resolution compared to High definition!.

I hope the scaling is good because I don't even want to think about what kind of GPU it will take to drive that anyway.

Don't personally see the point...i mean your going to need 60 inch plus screen to even see the difference...

Sinny · 30 May 2007 at 18:30

60" of goodness though ;D

This is one of those 'many years down the line' things. Currently we don't have discs that could store a film in that resolution, no broadcaster can broadcast in that resolution (or even in 1080p for that matter) and no gaming system/PC can render at a decent framerate in that resolution (or at 1080p in most games). Hell there isn't even enough bandwidth for decent picture quality on Freeview/cable/Sky.

My PC could definately run Pong at that resolution

34million pixels...that'll give plenty of pixel-perfectionists cold sweats

Hopefully we'll be off of LCD by then.

Yeah I wonder if they'll let me return it for a dead pixel

The whole article is just hype/speculation.

Can't see it happening for many many years, the movie industry would have to change the way they make films, the television industry wouldn't be able to afford it and god knows what sort of computer you'd need to hit that res.

, personally i think that is a bit of an overkill.

Theres always tech like this in the pipeline or due this "fall" but 9 times out of 10 it never shows up.

Like holographic disc I recall hearing this news like 4 years ago lol.

Theres been like a dozen companies out there saying were gonna release 20gig DVDs and 12gig DVDs and hitachis 300gig disc lol

Am still surprised blueray/HD disc formats arrived but as always theres something better round the corner.

I think the HD era is finaly coming along, more and more films are being filmed in HD, I read only few nights ago bollywood filmed its 1st film with a HD Camera, the same that was used on Starwars last film.... Another 2-3 years and I bet its the norm

Any film shot on film can be made into HD, as a standard film scan is something like 2000x1500, it's just down-scaled for editing and then blown back up for the cinema, then down scaled again for tv/dvd.

You know I had a gut feeling about that, was trying to hunt down the link where I read about bollywood filming there 1st film in true HD

Edit found the link:

Think in india they dont have the facilities to perhaps convert it.... well it sounds like it in the link above could be wrong though
