10 years would be nice, but previous to my new 1080p Samsung I was always upgrading every 5 years or so as resolutions increased. Now that we're at 1080p, I wonder if it will go higher yet.
Yes this is true but networks as well as Sony have already stated that they will not adopt this new format as it will require too much cost and will require more upgrading There simply is no need to go higher than 1080p.1440P is on the horizon .... I've already seen it at our industry conventions (Cedia). A few issues they need to work out first (like HDMI can't handle it yet) before it arrives on the consumer market.
They were shooting for a mid 2011 release of the resolution standard.
There is much to do to get the execution of the current standards improved. For most consumer applications, the existing standards can be extremely good, but much of what we see is not even close to potential. The difference between a calibrated and OOB set is far greater than the benefit of 1440p. If they just made all displays capable of being calibrated completely and properly, we would have much better images than if we all had 1440p with the current limitations in many sets. Then there is the production and distribution chain...Yes this is true but networks as well as Sony have already stated that they will not adopt this new format as it will require too much cost and will require more upgrading There simply is no need to go higher than 1080p.
