2160p tvs are not going to come to the market and no content will follow that

Imagine the clarity you currently get from a 24 monitor with a pc game in high definition

now you will get that clarity and sharpness on a 2160p tv at 40 and 50 inches.

Currently no one is broadcasting content beyond 720p. (prove me wrong)

But there are 1080p bluray movies and a few games running in 1080p

I am not talking about over the air broadcast just movies and videogames

I believe by 2015 we will start to see the beginning of movies and games taking advantage of 2160p tvs

extreme niche with practically no content. I think not.

I stick with what I say if you want to enjoy all that content start saving your pennies

you guys think what you want to think, I am sticking with what I believe.

It cost the industry a trillion dollars to upgrade their hardware and software to enable HD recording, editing, storage and broadcasting.   Do you really think they are ready to spend another trillion or two to do that all over again already?

Do you think that the broadcast airwaves can even handle 2160p resolution?  Consider that the majority don't even operate in 1080p yet (720p or 1080i).
Cable?  Go look up their bandwidth increases since offering HD movies.   Now up that bandwidth by 4 and see if they are OK with that.  Worse still is that most are locked into a 19Mbps with MPEG-2 compression.   Good luck getting them to move up to AVC and 76 Mbps video feeds.

What movie medium will you get your 2160p movies on?  A 2160p capable movie format does not exist nor is one in  the works.

1 hour of uncompressed 1080p video requires about 559.87 GB's of storage.  1 hour of uncompressed 2160p video requires about 1.72 TB's of storage.
2 hour high bit rate Blu-ray movie is about 48 GB's.  That would make it about 180 GB's for 2160p.
