How long will 1080p be the "Standard"

[Disco Batman]

Simple question.

Whith 1080p TV's pretty much being the standard (very few new 720p sets).

How long will it last, how long till our growing collection of Blu's are replaced by some bigger badder higher def standard.

Will 1440p be the next big thing?

I'm just wondering how long you all think it will be till we are abandoning what we have for the next big thing.

1080p has already been around for a few years and companies have already developed "Ultra High Definition Television (UHDTV)" displays capable of 7680 × 4320 pixels, four times as wide and four times as high (for a total of 16 times the pixel resolution) as existing HDTV, which has a maximum resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. They are naming this Super High Vision.

Although Super Hi-Vision has increased resolution compared with existing HD standards, it uses the same number of frames per second (60Hz progressive scan, 50Hz interlaced, whereas modern cinema films are usually 24Hz and standard definition video 25/29.97Hz).

Thank NHK of Japan as the leader of the development.

Surround sound will also benefit from these developments - "22.2 or Hamasaki 22.2 (named after Kimio Hamasaki, a Senior Research Engineer at NHK Science & Technical Research Laboratories in Japan is the surround sound component of Super Hi-Vision (a new television standard with 16 times the pixel resolution of HDTV), and has been developed by NHK Science & Technical Research Laboratories. It uses 24 speakers (including two sub-woofers) arranged in three layers. "

See if that doesn't flip your chickens...

Amen, Bro!

Even though 1080p has been available for some time, it's really only the last two years that the pricing and sales numbers have allowed it to become mainstream. As soon as major brands hit $1000 for a 42" screen, the sale made sense to people who aren't a bunch of raving loonies like us. I think that even though tech innovation is still roaring ahead, the decision is going to be about how soon the bottom half of the middle class is ready to buy a new display and that ain't going to be anytime soon.

Amen, Bro!

That's why you have to marry the right Wife.. It's not like buying new a TV, you don't go for the most expensive and biggest right off the bat.. You have to see what one appeals to you, and if that one is really want you need or want..

I see the tech moving ahead, but I don't see it going mainstream anytime soon.. This hobby will always be for a small percent of the population..

[ImRizzo]

That's why I don't have a wife...

Amen to that, Bro

I'm not even sure will have to wait 5 years. Technology these days changes so damn fast and it drives me crazy. I don't even want to buy Blu Ray movies because some new format will be right around the damn corner. My motto is perfect the technology now before moving on to the next. Don't even get me started.

+1. The manufacturers will always want to push us into new technology and so new purchases sooner than is merited. And with many, many people, it works. Regarding BluRay, however, I must demur. If there's a movie I really like, I want it on a well-mastered BluRay; the PQ difference is just too big. For one-off movies that are fun but no big deal, DVD is fine, of course.

Yours,

I agree that in a short time, we'll be able to buy/rent much higher resolution players, movies, games, etc. but I voted in the poll 10 years because of the word "standard". It was a long time coming for the broadcasters to finally adopt HDTV, and in fact it's still a work in progress. A lot of money was spent to upgrade all their equipment, etc. that I can only imagine that it would take at least 10 years for the Broadcasters to upgrade again. So as a "standard", I think 1080p will be around for at least 10 years in the US...Japan is an entirely different animal.

That is why I am now divorced twice and on my third engagment at the age of 34.

I'm twice divorced, too expensive, the next time I will simply be a surviving spouse, it's cheaper.

That may be the best advice ever
