This basicly means 1080P is not TRUE HD?
1080p is only able to be seen on TVs over 48" so 2540p would be like 120" which basically pointless to see.

That all depends on your viewing distance. My monitor is 24" and runs natively at 1920x1200. I can guarentee that at the metre or so I sit away from the screen there is a noticeable difference between 1920x1200 and 1680x1050.

Anyway, the reason this camera (and all high end digital film) is for when you project it onto a giant cinema screen. It is also this high because when applying effects you want the extra resolution. 4k and 2k transfers are the norm in the industry. Generally, the extra resolution allows for better sub-sampling, which is exactly how full blown, AA, motion blur, shadowing etc... works when raytracing. Exactly the same reason why high end audio apps support 192khz 32-bit sound.
