whoa .. check this out..

Rumor: Apple to launch 4k video format?

what you guys think?

3840×2160p also known as ultra HD. It is already in use in Japan.

only usefull on 50" and bigger.

Would be typcal of Apple to go for something "noone" else does. Why can't they all just work on the same 4K format and make it open source?

~Apple tend to pick up someone else's idea and make it look nice.
I don't believe they've come up with an original idea in about 30 years!

Also, with all the ultra, mega extreme etc. prefixes, what happens when they run out?
Will we get megaUltraExtremeTotallyAwesome HD @ 21600?

wow!
2160P?
expecting!

They should start by getting AppleTV to play 720p High Profile or maybe even 1080p

Well from the sources they think that TV's will be in your living room by 2022. My eye sight will be screwed by then so I dont think i will need it lol.
To be honest how far do you really need to go with the res.
To me 1080 on a 50" screen at 8-10ft looks as crisp as it ever needs to be. I can understand if you have a 65" screen or something but is it REALLY necessary?
Personally I think they just like to push and push with things because they can. That doesnt mean that everyone is going to ditch 1080 sets and rush out buying these though.

Just my opinions

Soon my eyes will run at a lower res than movies
I tested out a few test movies on friends @ SD and HD and mostly people couldn't tell the difference...

Because we can ≠ because we should
