Is PS4 will be... 4K?

Well on CES Sony annouce 4K Upscaleing Bluray player and hint that they working on first 4K TVs

What is 4K? it's simply think that comes after HD and standard in which resolution is 4 times higher then HD,4096x2160 to be more exact

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution

Currenly only existing 4K displays are projectors and some monitors

Considering the fact that PS3 was pretty much one of HD pionerring devices, there major quastion come in.... will PS4 gonna be 4K device or atleast sub to that (higher then HD)? Or it is worth to wait another 5 years even if 4K TV come in in the way?

4k = 4x 1080p. Simply enough. An upscaling Blu-Ray player would be just that...something that upscales to 4k.

However, a game running at 4k? No way. This ain't PC.

Well it does not need to run in full 4K as PS3 don't run on full HD at most. And isn't current consoles are equile to hardware of PC on times where they been made? so PC or not it does not matter

Considering the vast majority of movies aren't in 4K...and you wouldn't even be able to tell the difference unless you had a massive screen...I think it's safe to say that the PS3 will not display 4K resolution in any capacity.

Uhm no.

It takes 4 video cards to run TODAY's games on 4 1080p panels. You think the PS4 will be able to do that for even mroe advanced games?

You ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------> reality.

Think what only games runs on 1080p today (on consoles ofcorse) ;]

Muahahahahahaha...(gasp)... hahahahahaha 4K!!!!! Lololololol.... (cough)

4k is over 8 million pixels most gpus cant even out put that high. Unless the ps4 isl ike 5000$ i dont see this happening unless its running pac man.

If current gen consoles can barely handle 720p, what makes you think the next gen consoles will magically jump up to handling 4K when a PC can't even do that?

Games in 4K? No Way.

I doubt even 1080P will be standard across most games next gen.

WiiRocks66

And some don't even run on 720p. And again, think what games runs on 1080p on consoles today and why?

Also GPU not does not matter here, device still can output 4K. PC already can display beyond HD, how it's possible to display it via consoles? 4K output, but who said it needs to be 4K game?

And before you think im crazy, if PS4 will be annouce this year i would not expect 4K it seems to early technology, but who knows what 2012 may bring to the end

Hermits r jus jelly that next gen console kan run games at better res than theyre $10000 Pcillmatic87

I'm getting you a dictionary for your birthday. What is your address?

I highly doubt it

not going to happen, would be far to expensive

Nope unless its going to cost 5-10 grand, plus you can have your 5 grand tv. As it was stated running something like eye finity on 3 is hard for many high end rigs.

Ben-Buja

Yes, some PS3 not even run 720p, yet both PS3 and 360 even with upscaled games are device that can output to 1080p, why not PS4 would be able to output 4K whatever game resolution is?

Upscale is bad, doesnt change anything and can make it worse

***** please, pc can already run 5760 x 2160 if it wanted.

But many PC players ARE playing on an LCD tv (like me). Most HD tv's have a PC input OR high end video cards (like mine) have an HDMI output.

which completely wastes the hardware inside it, you do know to even output games at the res your talking about you would need some high end gpu/gpu's (as in $600 gpu's) and if you upscale to that res why even bother?

and? that has nothing to do with what i was talking about, a monitor or lcdtv outputting that res is going to cost a fortune, btw i am well aware you can plug a pc into a lcdtv

yay more BS from the land of console hardware, first the PS2 is going to make CGI look like a joke, then PS3s will replace the home PC, now PS4 wants 4k? Give me a break...better yet, keep it coming, laughter is good for the soul.

Ah... so we agree that releasing a 4k system in the U.S. is just absurd.

I can see it supporting and will make a nice advertising gimmick but don't see it actually being used much due to lack of content at that resolution the pixel junk games should be able to run at 4K native though :D

icyseanfitz

Future proof.... and again what games run on 1080p on today consoles that most games have trouble to be 1080p games? What would happen to those games if 1080p would be no problem anymore?

Keep im mind PS3 came out in days where 1080p TVs been not cheap either

of course, not only would the screen cost a ton but the hardware to run at that resolution would be far too great to sell in a console

i cant understand you at all, the ps3 came out at $600 and it couldnt run games at 1080p (when 1080p was pretty common), whereas you are saying that the ps4 will release and be running stuff at or near 4k (which is pretty much non existent at the moment even with pc's) and be affordable, thats called dreaming

Uh, yes, the GPU would matter a lot here. On consoles, even if you set your resolution to 1080p, every game will output at it's native resolution. CoD, for example, is something like 1024x600. The TV then upscales(or downscales) the image to the TV's native res. The console GPU is rendering 1024x600 pixels, the TV is scaling upscaling it to 1080p. For a game to really be 4K, you would need a 4K tv, a GPU that can handle outputting 4K, and the game to have a native resolution of 4K. Simply put, it will cost far too much.

But PS3 it runs 1080p games if you didn't know XD i'm ask WHAT those games are? and what would happen to those games without 1080p problems on other games?

Here tip, You aggre with guy that PC can do even beyond 4K but you would need costly monitor, now you saying 4K is not possible even on PC. It seems you locking yourself to specific kind of games here, forgeting about some other games.... THINK, it's easy

PS3 not outputing native res of game, DVI could handle that, but HDMI does not support that.

And again i'm not crazy, i do belive it might be too early for PS4 to have 4K outputing, but in world of tech you never know what may happen and i know SW is where people hardly to belive in future tech, like OnLive which here was annouced as imposible tech.... guess what it's possible

Again TC, why does it matter?

TV shows are shot in 2K (a little more than 1080p). The vast majority of movies (and all 35mm film movies) are shot in 2K.

Animated movies are rendered in 2K.

And, you wouldn't even be able to tell the difference when something is in 4K.

Take a look at this chart:

You'd have to have an absolutely massive screen to even properly make use of 4K (a little more than 2160p) resolution.

What? I can barely understand you, and you have no idea what you're talking about.

The tech to [affordably] render a game in 4k resolution is WAYY off. PS4 would have to be a $1,000 console that still bleeds tons of money.

Maybe you right, but we still got 4KTV outputing device if Sony will provide them why not promote in same as they did with 3D?

PraetorianMan

You guys still dont diffrent rendering from outputing and fact that game does not need to be high-end and struggle with hardware, again what games run 1080p on today consoles?

4K will probably make my eyes bleed.

ShadowriverUB

Because 4k upscaling means nothing when

1. It's just upscaling. All 5 people that'll be able to use it right now won't care either.

2. There is no content what-so-ever that supports 4k resolution. We didn't crap ourselves over 1080p upscaling DVD players, we won't bother looking at current 4k upscaling Blu-Ray players.
