Woah. Anyone out there fancy an 7680×4320-pixel display on an 85-inch panel? No pricing info as yet, but I’m confident in saying this is going to be expensive.
YouTube can’t really do this panel justice, and as is noted in the video, you need specific cameras just to shoot at this kind of resolution. The questions in the video are a little inane — it’s not really worth asking why it’d be expensive to make an 85-inch, 7680×4320 panel — and perhaps within 10 years, this kind of panel will look rather mundane.

woah
Isn’t 8k basically at the limits of what we can resolve using current film/optics?
Will be funny in 10 years when panels like this are available at JB for ~$1000 :–P

(Wolfram Alpha says that’ll be when it’s 8k4k on a 27in panel – http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=x%3Dsqrt%287680^2%2B4320^2%29%2F325 )

Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 2:43 PM104dpi is INSANE for a television because your face is generally over two meters away from the screen.
Unlike iKaran above, who compares an cellphone screen density with a television.

Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 4:20 PMThe intention was humorous, as indicated by the “:P” emoticon. I do humbly beg your pardon.
(that said, poster/printed DPIs are much higher – why not TV?)

Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 5:46 AMActually the dpi for posters and any other printed formats larger than A3 tend to be lower than 300dpi because it’s cheaper, less difficult and unnecessary.
Unless you’re blowing up a high quality photo for your own personal collection or for art or something, it just doesn’t commonly get done in the same super high res. The whole high dpi thing is a bit of an urban myth in commercial printing. Many prints might typically be 240 or even 150 dpi
DAN!

Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 3:09 PM8k is fine, but when is 10-bit color going to become standard. 16.7 million colors is old news, give me billions!
