Sony ready to ship 4k TV

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/08/sony-announces-massive-84-4k-flat-panel-tv-set-to-ship-this-year/ Wow ... I'm in for two lol

Like anything would support 4k already(I could be wrong), and 80 inches is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too big.

I'm sure there will be a 4K movie format to correspond with the 4K televisions.2Chalupas

Oh of course. Blu-Ray isn't the highest quality whatsoever. 1920x1080 is nothing. Actual film, which technically doesn't really have a resolution, is way bigger than Blu-Ray. So in that case, 4K movies are very possible. They just need to launch a newer format. 4-Ray?

At least, that's my understanding of film.

can you imagine how bad the upscaled 548p PS3 games would look on that?

80" sucks, it needs to be 84"

Sony's a movie studio as well, so I'm sure there will be a supply of 4K movies coming out.

hmmm sorry to burst your bubble and if you just research 4k, blu ray isn't a format which is just restrained to hd as dvd was. The only reason dvd was bad was because of how much you could store on the disc, it had a limit. nor is blu ray a highest quality whatever, it's a format which has alot of storage, it does not restrain itself to only go up to 1080p, thats just because tv's and films are made to that spec for wider audiuences, if you actually knew, you'd know that sony's latest blu ray players are already set up for 4k movies. here's the proof

i hope this helps you all

And Sony and it's customers wonder why their not doing so well financially. Similar to 3D, 4k will be pushed, but will not amount to anything. Do they really think people are going to purchase 80inch + tv(which is the min. size to see any difference with 4k)?

Sony pushes tech further ahead before any other company and every non Sony fan bashes them. But then you see the Xbox slowly adopt all the tech that Sony puts into their systems. Why? Because it's better!!! Stop bashing and being negative about every great tech Sony creates. It's positive, great, and moves things ahead in a positive direction.

In time the cost will come down a lot just as HDTVs have.
