2160p?

Yes, its true. Your plasma HDTV that broadcasts in 1080i is now outdated. Westinghouse is displaying their new HDTV at the Consumer Electronics Show. Westinghouse has developed a 52" TV that is capable of broadcasting in 2160p. This new mega HDTV is being referred to as the "quad." The reason for this name is that this HDTV has 4 times the amount of pixels compared to HDTV's that broadcast in 1080. (Information taken from Softpedia)

This seems like a big advance in the world of HDTV's and I would be interested to see how clear and vivid 2160p looks like. Although I couldn't find a price tag on this technology, so I doubt that I will ever be able to afford it. It will be interesting to see how long it takes this technology to be offered on a wide scale and if their will be a new formating war for DVD's in 2160p. I hope that the HDTV market does not become like the computer market where new and better technology is being produced daily and everything you buy becomes out-of-date once you take it off the shelf. I think that HDTV's are an amazing creation but I also think that they promote a materialistic society and give people less motivation to be active.
