Super Hi-Vision Renders HDTV Obsolete

At 7680x4320, over 33 million pixels make up the Super Hi-Vision image this represents 16 times the resolution of a 1080p image. To get a picture of the bump in resolution, a Super Hi-Vision image could be approximated by tiling 16 of todays best HDTVs together. In comparison, a 1080p picture represents a six-fold jump in resolution over standard-definition television.

very good news. now when we evolve super amazing vision in 50,000 years, we won't have to wait for TVs that can take advantage of it.

This will be in the PS4

Sounds almost fake, really.

good luck pushing content for that down the pipe

how does this render hdtv obsolete exactly?

Ya, the change to HD has taken 10+ years to get where we are.. with lots to go.. We'll see this in about 50.. maybe.

good luck pushing content for that down the pipeThey said in the article they'll be using mpeg-4 AVC compression for it. It will just take a long time before storage catches up to it to be able to hold all of the data.

screw bluray and it's 25gb

This article is a load of shit. This isn't even close to experimental commercial application. Claiming that it "renders hdtv obsolete" is a stupid and misleading statement.

That is like saying hydrogen fuel has rendered gasoline obsolete.

HDTV isn't even a standard yet. This is pointless.

I want one of those headsets like in the movie Strange Days to beam the images right into my brain.

Don't get worried that your HDTV is going to be out of date in a year, they even said in the article that this technology won't be ready to broadcast to consumers until 2020, which by that time storage devices will be labled with terabytes instead of gigs.

I'm still making low 5 figures, can you tell?

Don't worry, we won't see this for 20 years. Just about the same about of time it took for HDTV to become available.

Mpeg4? Awesome! Now I can see posterization in super-high def!
