LG releasing 3480 x 2160 Resolution, 84 inch (7ft) TV, Even Though Nothing Currently Supports the Re

Fun-fact: The average map in C&C Tiberian Sun or Red Alert 2 is about 2500x2500 the engine uses pixel based rendering so each map unit = 1 pixel. So if your monitor is 1600x900 it'll show you 1600 map units wide, and 900 map units wide.
using this kind of TV with such games would result in the entire map being drawn, and being letter boxed in the center of the screen!
[QUOTE=Robber;34132124]I played Just Cause 2 on highest settings using Eyefinity at 5.2 megapixels and this is only 7.5 megapixels. I'm sure most high end PCs could easily run games at that resolution.
But my 5870 can only do 2560x1600! :saddowns:
Seriously though, are there graphics cards that support 3480 x 2160? HDMI does support it according to Wikipedia.[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure but I think that new drivers can up the supported resolution.
Posted this in another thread:
[QUOTE=Tezzanator92;34132756]Surely that LG tv can use 4 HDMI inputs to create a 2x2 grid of 1920x1080 images?, just use something like eyefinity to composite the 4 1920x1080 feeds together and there you go, full resolution attained while spreading the load over multiple GPUs. Multi monitor on a single monitor.
Just guessing, of course.[/QUOTE]
I know there was a Toshiba Quad HD TV that could do this.

I want to mount one of my wall as a home monitoring station.

My desk could support it actually.

Display port.
I think it's about time we move on past 1080p
I had the same reaction at this as first time i saw a 24 string bass or that 8 string guitar wich i actually just ordered..
[QUOTE=Kljunas;34130938]
Well, so it provides an extremely high-res sharp picture but it's limited to 30 Hz.[/QUOTE]
Fine for movies
What about monitors with greater pixel density rather than greater size?
Well, youtube already supports 4K, so I'd have something to watch. Choose original resolution.

It'd be nice if they stopped claiming "high definition" as more scanlines and as a better lossless compression format instead. Imagine the VBLANK for these things!
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;34130156]We've got a 105" projector screen upstairs. I assure you that even a medium sized home can support it.[/QUOTE]
For a TV this size you would ideally need to be 21 feet back from it. I can't think of many houses that have rooms that long.
[QUOTE=Mac2468;34130069]right after i get a 52 inch[/QUOTE]
Yeah like you can actually afford that TV if it was out earlier :rolleyes:
I'm going to stick with my 59Hz 640x480 resolution CRT monitor, thank you very much.

The projector (and seating area) is no more than...10-12 feet from the screen or so I think. 21 feet is way too far back.

I meant for the 84 inch TV mentioned in the OP. I am not sure the same formula of working out viewing angle and distance works for projectors.
A Tv is good if it can display RGB and CMYK colours. Having a larger resolution is not necessarily needed since the HD 720p and 1024i is enough for most people

[QUOTE=viperfan7;34130489]thats why I have a monitor for my PS3, also use it for my computer, I just wish it had a DVI input as well so I could have both plugged in at the same time
or if someone could point me to a HDMI KVM switch type of thing[/QUOTE]
Yeah. I should pick one of these up as well.

Can anyone explain to me how a 3480x2160 screen is somehow '4k' and not '3480k' or '2160p' or something? Where do they get '4k' from?
Well, 4K resolution is used by imax, Well they put together 2 2K screens. But you get the point.
I highly doubt this is meant for consumer use but for companies that want to put on a presentation or something like that.

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution]4K is an emerging standard for resolution in digital film and computer graphics. The name is derived from the horizontal resolution which is approximately 4,000 pixels. This designation is different to the standard resolution designations which are represented by the vertical pixel count; for example 720p and 1080p. 4K represents the horizontal resolution because there are numerous aspect ratios used in film — so while the horizontal resolution stays constant, the vertical resolution depends on the video source (a.k.a. letterboxing). There are several different resolutions that qualify as 4K.[/url]

Holy shit.
