Samsung SDI shows off 63-inch 4k x 2k plasma

There's a slight possibility that you haven't noticed, but Samsung SDI is on fire. Like, seriously burning down FPD International 2008. After treating onlookers to a flexible OLED, a 40-inch Full HD OLED display and an assortment of other eye-enticing panels, the outfit has one-upped itself once more with a 63-inch 4k x 2k plasma. Sure, actually finding 4k x 2k content will be a challenge, but who wouldn't want to be ready for the inevitable worldwide domination of Super Hi-Vision? Most of the other specs (contrast ratio, luminance, where it's being stored with loose security, etc.) were sadly absent, but with a native resolution like this, the rest takes a back seat anyway.

So THAT's the screen I will play on my PS4?

[gareki @ Oct 31st 2008 1:00AM]

Yes. Yes, it is. That is the screen you will [i]play[/i] [i][b]on[/b][/i] your PS4. The screen will send somatic input data and visual data to the PS4 and, with the PS4 and this set thus working in tandem, you will play the screen, the PS4 modulating its whirring noises and turning its lights on and off in a measured and patterned way in order to convey information about the game world, such as size of the environment, topography of the environment, and enemy location within the environment.

/Sorry - both because my comment wasn't funny in the least and because I'm no better than a grammar nazi. (In this case, you'd could say I'm a semantics or logic nazi)

Sony's PlayStation marketing team will say that all games will be in 4K pixels and be 5D, but the reality will turn out to be that games will render in less than 720p at 30fps and software scale to 4K. Deja vu?

4000 x 2000 pixels and your mother still doesn't fit....

Where's Waldo?

[Jason Gurnick @ Oct 31st 2008 12:33AM]

There's SOOOO much 4k content out there..... Now that cameras like the RED One are in the hands of the plentiful, 4k king..... Yes, something like this won't be on a Best Buy shelf anytime soon... But it's a peek into the future... Go SAMSUNG SDI!

[Michael @ Oct 31st 2008 11:16AM]

True. Plus 35mm film scans at 4k.

[MojoBaby @ Oct 31st 2008 12:35AM]

Wow... Dog food commercials are going to look so amazing!

[Chris Knight @ Oct 31st 2008 12:41AM]

Dam! This plasma must weigh like a tank!

[MrNuclear @ Oct 31st 2008 6:16AM]

It's a flexible OLED, so probably a bit less than a ton.

[img eL @ Oct 31st 2008 3:40PM]

Nah its a plasma, u just got mixed up with there previous annoucements. This plasma might be lighter than others in this size range, we'll see.

[hustler @ Oct 31st 2008 3:09AM]

Such resolution makes viewers vomiting.We'll have new sports,who can vomit the furthest.

[Bad Beaver @ Oct 31st 2008 5:44AM]

Great for photo slideshows.

[Peter @ Oct 31st 2008 7:52AM]

I'm not even going to try to play Crysis on this; my graphics card would likely explode; although it would look sweet
