Sharp unveils LCD with 4x the resolution of HDTV

sharp super HDTV.jpg

I hate to break it to you, but your HDTV is slowly but surely falling off the cutting edge. Yeah, when you bought it you must have thought it didn't get any better than that, but guess what? It's already gotten better, and that $6,000 plasma screen is getting into 13-inch black-and-white with rabbit ears territory. That's because Sharp has produced a 64-inch LCD monitor whose resolution is four times that of your paltry HDTV. It has an insane 4,096 x 2,160 resolution, meaning it can show four HDTV images at the same time when divided quarterly. That's a lot of pixels. The tech won't be making its way to consumer TVs anytime soon, so you're safe as the cool kid of the block for now, but look for this stuff to trickle into Best Buy at some point in the future, no doubt just in time for you to save up another $6,000 to hop back on the cutting edge. Sucker.

That is awesome... not just for tv but for BIG computer screens too. As far as TV goes, two words.... SPORTS BARS!!! A sports bar could have 4 HD ballgames on one screen, then the possibilities of multiple screens and some big some quartered... about time someone went ahead and surpassed the existing technology instead of riding right along side of it.
