How long do you think 1080p will be the HD standard?

Question

More specifically: how long until 1200, 1600 or 2560p become take the place of 1080?

Answer 1

It's really hard to say unless you're an EE at a major TV company...

All I can tell you is that there are 3 technologies I know of coming out - TV can only get so clear before no one notices the difference!

1) 3 angle TV - This tv has 3 tuners built in, along with different viewing angles using colored lasers. 3 different people can be sitting in one room, one in front of the TV and the other 2 on each side at a 45 degree angle and all watch different shows at the same time, on the same TV!! They'll have to use cordless headphones for the other viewing spots though...

2) HD2TV - a European company has perfected a technology that is 25X the resolution of HDTV!!! They have designed the camera's, media, and players. At this phase, they will only be releasing it to large theaters with a big budget, however it is backward compatible with HDTV so you can then buy the movie in HD or Blu-Ray

3) My favorite :) 3D TV!! The video will be recorded from 16 angles throughout the movie, then "interlaced". If you were to play this content on a regular TV it would show as a blur, however a special 3D TV will have a lenticular lens over it making the image appear as if it were sticking a few feet out of the TV!!! Tell me you would buy that?!

From what I've heard, these are the next generation TV's, but I haven't heard of anything just going up a little in resolution...

Hope this helps!


...to clarify for the person asking about the difference in 1080i/p:

"i" stands for interlaced meaning lines 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 etc are showing the same frame at the same time...

"p" stands for progressive meaning lines 1,3,5,7... are playing a particular frame while lines 2,4,6,8... are playing the next frame to make the video more "fluid" or lifelike, however you are not gaining any resolution, this shouldn't dissapoint you - it is a better picture, you just aren't gaining resolution.

Answer 2

I just bought a Toshiba 42 LCD with the 1080p and was told by Directv that they are only up to 1080i right now and that it will be a while b4 they are at 1080 p because if I understood her correctly 1080i uses alternate line for inf (exp. Aline has info when b line does not and vice verse,) and 1080p uses a and b at the same time meaning twice as many pixels used and better picture. I hope I was not misled but that is what they told me.

Answer 3

1080 is going to be be implemented by a lot of television companies. Looking at the history if tele- and radio communication the investment is rather big, and will cause the industry to hold for ca 5 years before making another large investment. Some channels will be availabel in better resoluton in 2-3 years.

Answer 4

1080P is not the industry standard. How could it be when broadcasters use either 702P or 1080i? Those are the current HD standards no matter what marketing scam the TV manufacturers use to brainwash you into thinking 1080P is.

I have a 1080P plasma and the only sources for that are HD-DVD and Blu Ray. So, no it isn't even close to being the industry standard.

Hi. Well we already have (almost) LASER TV.

S.E.D (Surface - conduction Electron - emitter Display ) TV is not far behind Laser TV

And not far behind SED we have CARBON NANOTUBE TV.

And last but not least we already have PHILIPS 3D TV.
