The hardware is there, x-plane at 12270x5160

But what use is it. You can't see the high resolution if you're far enough away to see the whole picture.

Digital IMAX uses 4K projection at 4096x2160, does that look low res?

The best you can get is IMAX 70mm film which is comparable to 8K (8192x4320) which looks great projected all around you inside a huge dome theater.

Use this to see what size tv you need

unreal 3 being used to make movies and more?

Thanks for this.

Clearly 4k resolution is a silly idea for the mainstream market. Dunno what some are going on about pixel density for...

Hey, 'i r stupid', how about reading the OP first and then understanding the context of the thread first?

EDIT: It's not all we care about. It just happens to be one of the base parameters which determines how much visual oomph can be represented on-screen. Personally I am more serious about refresh rates.

Doesn't it already go, 1080p-1440p-super hd?

Hey, I saw a soccer game in the mall yesterday where this girl was playing on a soccer field projected from the ceiling.  She kicked a non-existent ball.  It was interesting, to say the least.  I wish I'd have taken a video of it but I wasn't thinking.  I'd bet this would be your likely successor to better resolution and motion controls.

There ya go.  I thought it looked cooler than that, though.  Oh well, I've been wrong before.  I bet Nintendo or somebody is looking for a way to bring this thing into your livingroom, though.  It doesn't matter if it's good or bad.  It only matters if it's different!

I'm sitting here and looking at a 1080p 25" screen and i can see all the pixels.  I personally can't wait for higher resolutions, atleast twice the res would be a good start.

1440p then 4K and 5k.

What's a lollipop doing in the middle of the road?

THIS THREAD IS ABOUT HOME CINEMA. NOT DESKTOP SET-UP.

GDMNT.

EDIT: I have a 42'' screen and if I am further than a few feet away then I can't see any pixels. My eye sight is 20-20.
