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.

this article is probably just a sensational way to say it will have HDMI 1.4 support ... which frankly is a no brainer really.  i'm sure the next xbox will too.
