HD Being Replaced by Super Hi-Vision
It’s so funny that I happened upon this article because the wife was just “talking” to me about my pre-occupation with HD. I was saying that I’m not going to buy another DVD until I get either HD-DVD or Blu-Ray and she essentially responded with, “Why bother when in a couple of years there will be something even better.” And then I see this article on IGN talking about Super Hi-Vision, a standard that’s supposed to be coming to consumer use sometime in the “near” feature, giving consumers a resolution of 7,680 x 4,320 or a 16 times higher resolution than 1920 x 1080 (1080p).
Geez. I mean, will we even be able to see the difference? Any programming in 1080p looks ridiculous already! And they say it’s gonna be even better?! Check out the short article on IGN here.
