Ditch your titchy LCD screens now

Personally I'd hope for a better TV experience.

 

Indeed, and in Ireland ( as in other Countries I'm sure) we pay a TV license fee for the privilege. Nature documentaries would look good on that screen though.

Sheesh, in the last five years we've seen Plasma, LCD, LED, HD, 3D and as if that isn't enough, now they've developed something else to try and sell us!

Don't forget the flexible LCDs screen! I mean, it's so useful! :rolleyes:

Have to agree, I'm not entirely sure what value we get for our license fee each year, The only good thing to come out of the RTE in a long while has been "Reeling in the Years", I love that show with all the nostalgia, think it was on replay there a week ago, but I don't think it would benifit from super HD resolution, and for €200 a year, I'm pretty sure I could do without it, still though, great show... Who knows, probably would be great for looking at movies on though, or as you say, nature documentaries...

I am quite happy with 1280x1024 resolution on a 19" TFT monitor. What I don't know, I don't worry about :smile:

Truly excellent show -- it caught me by surprise as I didn't know it was going to be on until I was idly scanning the schedules for BBC4 the same evening. Footage of the EE Lightning was particularly impressive, as I often fly one of those in FS9 as a change from puttering around in a Cessna :lol:

Sony have just announced a 4K TV set at IFA 2012. Its an 84" 3,840 x 2,160 3D TV and it looks like it is going to be insanely expensive. However its nice to know that all this will be affordable in about 3-5 years for people who are not millionaires. I mean take a look at 3D when that first started Sony were asking three grand but now the same set is just three hundred pounds.

How many GPUs to achieve good FPS on that resolution with 3D? :rolleyes:

 

In all seriousness, a resolution that large is going to require some monster GPUs. 2 GTX690s might not even be enough.

 

We are going to need to have a few more gens of GPUs to be able to handle these extreme resolutions.

Exactly. Even if we're getting resolutions like that, hardware will need lots of years to catch up.

 

About TV, I don't think it would benefit from a resolution like this. 50% of it is still advertising, and in my country the resolution is 720x576. I'll not hold my breath.

We might be looking the wrong way entirely on this. As I mentioned in another thread. Monitors might be old tech one day:
