Beyond HD: a 500-inch screen?
January 29, 2008
BBC News:In a research laboratory in Japan, the country's public broadcaster, NHK, is working on a successor to the familiar high-definition broadcast system. Super Hi-Vision — or Ultra High-Definition TV as it is sometimes known — carries some impressive statistics. It has a screen resolution of 7680x4320 pixels, 16 times greater than current HD. To watch the format NHK has a purpose-built 500-inch screen in its labs, along with the world's only 22.2 multi-channel surround sound system, which the format also supports.
