Screens way in excess of HD quality have been available for a long time. The
determining factor is the mass market availability and the broadcast
material able to be displayed on them. The technogical limits are bascially
irrelevant.

This is why I dont buy any newspapers any more. Even the broadsheets
are full of **** like this.

Basically the entire article is rubbish, HDTVs are not defunct.
(Although we could easily get into the 1080 argument) Nicole martin
would be far better employed explaining the benefits of this system
for large screen presentations than making up rubbish about how people
that bought HDTVs have wasted their money

You took the words right out of my mouth. I read the article thinking
exactly what you just said. Here here, my boy!

If it's 33 times better than HD, that means it will require something like
1089 times the bandwidth of HD, doesn't it? Or 4356 times the bandwidth
required for one SD channel transmission.

Can't see many of them coming on Freeview then.





imagine how powerful processors will be in 20 years time - by then
compression schemes will be feasible that make H264 seem like ancient
history.

That fly... is your magic wand.

Super Hi-Vision is currently being tested by NHK, Japan's public
broadcaster, but the BBC is planning to use the technology to screen
the 2012 Olympics on big screens in city centres across the UK.

That's going to be a very expensive three weeks of curling and low
quality football...

"It's as if you are actually at the stadium," said Vincent Letang, a
senior television analyst at Screen Digest. It gives you an immersive
feeling which standard high definition technology simply can't do."

Note the words "standard high definition". Oh, the irony!

That, "every bead of sweat and straining" ?

Were they including the England cricket team in that description ?

I thought it was about the fortcoming "Celebrities On The Toilet", when one of
them's got constipation.

===============
High-definition television to become outdated

If you splashed out on a high definition television at Christmas,
you're in for some bad news.

Japanese broadcasters and the BBC are already working on a successor
which promises to deliver pictures in a quality 33 time better than
the best HD sets on the market.

given how many decades HDTV existed before launching in the uk, i'd
venture that i will be retired before this one sees the light of day here.

If it's 33 times better than HD, that means it will require something like
1089 times the bandwidth of HD, doesn't it? Or 4356 times the bandwidth
required for one SD channel transmission.

No, they're reserving them exclusively for the shopping channels?

I'm looking forward to the PC World ad when these go on sale.

Of course it took The Grauniad to point out that they can currently
only store 20 minutes of footage on their test system and they don't
even envision broadcasting over the airwaves until 2025. I think
anyone with a new HDTV can rest easy in their bed.

It will be smudged with DOG **** and then over compressed, which is
something even 1970s PAL TV pictures didn't succumb too.
