Why Can't they make more than 1080p HD?

Question

why not 2000p or even more!

Answer 1

In fact, they are working on 1440P. The higher5 the resolution, the more difficult it is to make the panel. 1080P sets are significantly more expensive than 720P, although the difference is narrowing. Wait until you see the 1440P price. Aside from cost, there's no reason to until you get to really big sets. With 1080P, there's no reason to get one until you get up to 50" or bigger sets. Bigger isn't really needed until you get really big.

Answer 2

They can, but who would pay for it?

They came up with 480i back in the late 1940's.

It became so popular - they could not deviate from the standard despite 60 years of technology and computer improvement.

It took ... 5 years to get through all the arguments to define both 720 and 1080 as part of the new standard.

And then - it took an act of Congress to force stations to upgrade.

The whole reason: commercials pay for all of television. A HD commercial will reach FEWER people than a standard def commercial (and be cheaper to produce). So there is no business reason to upgrade.

Answer 3

They can, but there wouldn't be any way to broadcast it. Even 1080p takes up so much bandwidth that the FCC will not allow broadcasters to go any higher than 1080i.

Answer 4

I will bet in 20 years, if no better technology emerges, 2000+ vertical pixels will be the standard for all size TV's.

But I will assume in 20 years we will no longer be viewing TV with pixels.

Answer 5

they can, it is just too expensive, or too hard to manufacture or design, or the cables dont have the capacity. (but that would be great picture!)

Answer 6
