Saw this link on HDBits, probably old to a lot of users but it is the first time that I have read it.
Cannot wait for the future tech.

Resolution of 7680 × 4320, jesus

Theres one of those in my basement.

Daaamn!

Overkill, if you ask me..
I don't really see much difference between 720p and 1080p..
I mean yea, how clear can you get.. but is there really a point?
It's like the purity of water.. You make it so clear and the next guy goes and makes it twice as clear.. but it's still just water...
Anyway, let's wait for the first 7680 × 4320 pc monitor. The normal size for a pc monitor will be around 40" by then.
Your GPU will have to have 50 gb of gddr6 memory and has to have a cooling system with it's own little helium compressor...
I just don't see it yet. I know it'll be the standard in a decade, but at the moment it's as unreal as flying cars - could be done in theory.

Most films these days out of focus shots anyway, meaning people and objects close by are clear and the background is slightly blurred. So unless that changes for good I honestly see no reasoning to increase the resolution or technology for high definition.

As for 720p vs 1080p I also see hardly any difference, however I have a '42 inch HDTV plasma, one of the smallest on the market so to fully appreciate 1080p you have to go big big

If they would make something that uses same resolution as the native res of movies shown in the cinema (like Digital Cinema, also the res that most movies like for example Wall-E, Toy Story etc is rendered in) it would be enough for me ^^
But that resolution...imagine the size of a 4320p rip xD
Would pretty much sit there at 100+ gigs per movie

[msantosrs]

4320p amazing...

Well, I don't know about you guys.. But I have perfect vision, so I can actually see the individual pixels on my 1024x768 17" monitor. 4 Times this resolution would be about perfect for me. Because at that point the image would be ultra smooth.

It wouldn't need a super cooling system. As chips get smaller and smaller, they produce less heat. That is why chips have been increasing in performance, yet not increasing in heat. And 50GB GDDR6 Memory stick will be easily feasible in under 10 years. (Although it probably won't be GDDR6 by then. Either a high iteration or a new type of memory.)

Your speaking about a 17" monitor though. If you watch a video on a PC, then take it to the HDTV you can see the difference immediately, it's different. However for full appreciation of the 1080p files you need a bigger TV around the 50" mark. I have nothing wrong with my vision, I am long-sighted and as an example I have a 720p 7GB Transformers encode, and then got a 1080p 16GB rip and I could barely notice any difference between the 2 encodes on a 42" screen.

Size doesn't matter. Having a bigger TV only means that the pixels themselves are bigger. A bigger TV usually means you stand back further than you would on a smaller one. So it really doesn't make much of a difference about the size. And there's no difference between an LCD Monitor and an LCD TV. Both showing the same 1080p file.

And yeah your not going to see to much of a difference between 720p and 1080p. It's not that much of a pixel density increase over what 4320p would be to 1080p. Even if you can't see the individual pixels, the higher pixel density becomes, the more realistic the image appears. Because the clarity of the image coming into your eye increases. You'll see one day . 20 years from now you'll be looking back at 1080p video like you do to 800x600 screens today lol.

People have to keep in mind that a resolution of 7680 × 4320 is hardly intended for typical consumer use. I suggest everyone read up on a little something called the "acuity of human vision":
http://www.audioholi...of-human-vision

Simply put, our eyes have a resolution limit. Beyond our ability to see it, increased image resolution is simply an academic exercise. It can have no real part in improving the viewing experience.

Similar to how audial perception is measured in frequencies, visual perception, or acuity, is measured using a comparative distance ratio. When put in terms of television resolutions, one must consider the ratio between screen size and viewing distance. In this regard, I also recommend that everyone read the second part of the above article, Understanding 1080p Resolution in Displays:
http://www.audioholi...n-displays.html

Quote

Put bluntly, from 8 feet away while watching a 50 inch plasma TV, the human eye is generally incapable of reliably distinguishing any detail finer than that shown on a true 720p display!

Pass a certain point, higher resolutions only offer two things: increased screen size and closer viewing distances.
So to make full use of a resolution of 7680 × 4320, one must sit about 16 feet away from a display size of about 400". I don't know about everyone else, but I certainly don't have a room large enough to accommodate such an enormous setup.
