NEXT: THE TV SYSTEM THAT SEES BETTER THAN YOU DO

Thrilled with your new HDTV system? Prepare to need something better. World, get ready to need UHD-TV. Yes Ultra Hi-Def is coming and it will make your HDTV look primitive. It will initially come in two definitions, the better to get you to buy two systems rather than just one. The top of the line, the one worth waiting for, will offer resolution of 7680x4320 pixels, that’s 16 times the resolution of 1080p. And it will sport a 22 multichannel 3D sound system. (Will you really be able to tell the difference between 22 channels and 16 channels?)
And do you really need a device that produces a picture that resolves higher than your eye? No doubt Rush Limbaugh will be one of the first to own such a system. And viewers in California will probably find such voltage guzzlers outlawed there.
The marketers expect it to take until 2023 before major residential penetration is achieved. I think that will depend on the economy. There will always be a market for the best and latest but how big that market is remains to be seen.
