UHDV: Looking Beyond HD

 

Japan have already demonstrated the next generation of HDTV with the advent of UHDV, or Ultra High Definition video. UHDV boasts 16 times more detail than 1080p HDTV with a screen size of 7680 x 4320. This resolution is so high it makes a mockery of the 2k and 4k resolutions commonly rendered to in cinema. UHDV doesn't just boats a good picture - it also sports a whopping 22.2 sound channels!

Don't get too excited though, it's going to be years before this even makes it past being a prototype. If it ever did make it to our homes the line between TV and reality would be a whole lot finer.
