Hi, :) lol over here in the UK we are just getting into 1080p on the HDTV Stakes, and 95% of the people dont understand the difference between FULL HD and HD Ready.

You have to have SKY HD or Cable to get any channels, and what they broadcast isnt much anyways, and they cost a lot to subscribe to too. :/

We are so far behind the Rest of the World, for almost everything even for HDTV and Broadband.

And now by 2015 in Japan they plan on launching ULTRA Hi-Definition TV, 33 Mega Pixel with (7,680 x 4,320) resolution a screen size 16 times the resolution of FULL HD 1080p, and it comes with 22.2 AUDIO!! In other words 24 speakers.

LOL I doubt the UK will ever manage to get this, we cant even own a TV without being threatened and (possibly) assaulted (not just in your pocket) by the BBC, but maybe the USA will get it sometime after Japan, after all they usually do.

Can you imagine though... Having something similar to an iMAX in your own house or a screen so big you'd probably need a 200 foot lounge to sit in with it lol.

The data for it is MASSIVE though!, 24GB/s uncompressed stream, and Blu-Ray and HD-DVD use compression for their data and it is said they can get the video on UHDTV down to 180 to 600 Mbps and the audio was compressed from 28 Mbps to 7 to 28 Mbps.

Here are some links.

I wonder what they will come up with next?

I dont know if I will ever get a 1080p let alone something like this, lol.

Have Fun, Thankyou, Bye! :)
