Resolution is not everything, TV was stucked in 480p for 30 years. 720p has been a standard for almost 15 years by now and hasn't reach a markert penetration beyond developers countrys. The only ones realy interested in ramp the TV resolution are TV manufectores and retailor. The 3D didn't have the impact they wished, Stmart TVs the same. |
My gut feeling says the opposite, this generation will be longer with a move to streaming services. If something new comes in 5 years it will be a streaming only box. Nintendo will probably come out with a new console in 5 years, but no new hardware monster from Sony or MS.
TV broadcast was stuck over here in 480i for 30 years. Europe enjoyed 576i though.
720p and 1080i are used for tv broadcasts nowadays, movies 720p 1080p streaming, 1080p optical discs. 1080p is the real standard.
Anyway speak for yourself, I'm very interested in ramping up the resolution. I like an immersive experience and a bigger field of view does a lot to achieve that. A 40 degree field of view would be ideal but 1080p is still lacking at that range. A 4K display will make 720p look better too btw, you get a better result upscaling from 720p to 2160p (3x, 3x pixels) then from 720p to 1080p (1.5x, 1.5x pixels)
