Sony's got a thing for 82-inch displays, and sure enough, it's showcasing yet another iteration at this CES. This go 'round, the display being highlighted was displaying content at 4K -- well, when it wasn't showing four separate screens at 1080p apiece, that is. Drooling yet? Veronica Belmont from Mahalo Daily is waiting just beyond the break to walk you through. 
belmont....where have I heard that name before?? wait...am I supposed to drool over the 82" screen or Veronica?? I'm so confused.
She was from CNET remember then she quit and joined some other company
oh...I thought she was from that Dracula-fighting family or something...
whats 44444444444444444444 KAY???
It's basically 2160p, or 3840 by 2160 pixel resolution. 4 times the resolution of 1080p (I think)
I was thinking the same thing... Why is it cool?
Resolution is linear, so 2160p would "only" be 2 times 1080p resolution. But I think, following the tag, that "4K" means 4096x2400, so it's a bit different from 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratios.
4k is great because its 4096x2160 compared to 1920x1080 for 1080p or 2k.
Cnet is dead to me, especially after veronica left. So hot.... What were we talking about again?
You nerds need to get out more ;-)

your right... I need to get out and buy some more lotion/vaseline
thx!
great, now i will have a way to display RED One Footage in all its glory!
snkkkkzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
for those that can afford a RED ONE PRO
Am I the first one to think that 4M would make more sense than 4K?
Engadget HD / Anyone,
What's Sony using to feed these displays?
Sony's Media Block Server LMT-100?

Or something else brand new.
Vanguard.

No, 2160p is 4 times 1080p, because it's twice the width, and twice the height, so you can fit 4 1080p images in a 2160p frame. Hence, 4 times the pixel count, therefore 4 times the resolution.
Very simple.
