Wait wait wait. I do not even own a blu-Ray player yet or any bluerays. What does this 4K thing do ? Picture clearer?

4K is a term used to describe panles with a resolution 4 times higher than Full HD, 3840x2160 pixels.

OT: Casually yesterday I read this news about LG bringing to EU and NA their first 84" 4K TV... which has a price tag equivalent of $22.000

Also, as HappySqurriel  said, how many games will be able to run at that res natively? You need a 680/7970 to run games smoothly at 2560x1440, image the power necessary for that kind of res.

Oh I thought it was 4096*3072, but that is for cameras I see.

I'm not sure either, but it makes more "sense". After all 2*1920=3840 and 2*1080=2160 so 3840x2160 is 4*1920x1080.

And as far as I know it's not that hard expensive to make it compatible. The HDMI 1.4 spec supports 4K, so any device with an HDMI 1.4 should be able to work.
