Prediction: Apple is the company that takes TV past 1080p into much higher resolution displays (when they actually release an Apple TV). Movies are already shot at much higher resolution, and Apple will introduce Apps (subscribe to a show or network, for example).
- laconian 15y agoIf that happens, then I predict the end of all-you-can-eat Internet. ISPs are kvetching enough about Netflix as-is.
- dlikhten 15y agoHeh I wanna see someone stream a double-1080p over internet. It would suffocate the pipes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_of_tubes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_of_tubes) and knowing netflix and similar services this would be pretty bad. Also I think my wallw ill have to have a TV painted on it to actually fit something big enough into my house. 720 is good, 1080 is already above any reasonable need, and anything above that is just visual masturbation IMO. I watch 720p with no noticeable quality loss. Maybe it's upscaling but still.
