Video: 82-inch 4K Sony prototype display gets showcased
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.

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?
andyo @ Jan 7th 2008 10:35AM
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?

Engadget HD / Anyone,
What's Sony using to feed these displays?
Sony's Media Block Server LMT-100?

Or something else brand new.

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.

Am I the first one to think that 4M would make more sense than 4K?
