Ridiculous ...

Would love to see one of these in action in real life.

Why? unless it's 5m wide?

Why? unless it's 5m wide?

If you read the article:

16K Size (576 Units) – 790-inch

For reference, the 790-inch 16K display measures 19 metres wide and 5.4 metres high.

And 2k isn't even mainstream yet.

 

[Quicks]

Thought it will be huge, much easier to make a display big at 16K than say a 40" to do 16K, not really evolutionary

You living in 2003?

All of SABC / ETV and DSTV are "2K", and have been for a while... and so is the rest of the world.

Talking about tv's, not content.

2K is mainstream. Go into any shop and see if you can buy a standard def TV. It's all HD and above.

I don't know what you call standard def. FHD is by far the majority. Sure I can go into any of the major shops and buy an 8k as well, doesn't make them mainstream.

You're contradicting yourself.

FHD is not 2k.

And 4k content is still a rarity.

And 4k content is still a rarity.

Not on Netflix.

FHD is not 2k.

It is. The only difference is DCP 2K is a few pixels wider than FHD. (2048x1080 vs 1920x1080). Resolution is defined by it's height. (480p, 560p, 720p, 1080p, 2160p, 4320p... etc) not it's width. The width is referred to as the aspect ratio.

2K is referred to for cinema use and FHD for consumer use.

True cinema 2K, 4K and 8K will never be used in the consumer space. Don't confuse the two.

And 4k content is still a rarity.

Rarity? All the series I watch are in 4K. Most YouTube channels I watch too are in 4K.

FHD is not 2k.

Also, why do you think a DCP standard would be mainstream?

DCP 2K is only used on cinema cameras and projectors. It will never be used in the consumer space. Its a intermediary format.

FHD and UHS is the consumer variant of the two DCP standards.
