Enter The 2160p HDTV

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i'll-take-two-to-go dept.

Dr. Eggman writes "The Consumer Electronics Show is kicking it in high gear as Westinghouse shows off its 2160p or "Quad" HDTV. While enthusiasts pine for new 1080p monitors Westinghouse has stated that the Quad HDTVs, like the 52" on display, "does not really target the consumer market, but high-end industrial applications.""

      I know of only 3 in the 60 some homes that I am friends with... I have never had a home as a friend and you have 60. How does one become friends with a home?

      Stupid Firefox. I tried this in Firefox and it didn't work. Where are the "favourites" in Firefox?

      You could make a 5 foot, crystal clear shot of balls slapping an ass. *shudder*. 1080p is enough for me, and I have 20/10 vision.

  4. for high-end industrial applications by Thansal · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yah.

    right.

    Who wants to predict howlong it will take for those old fashion 1080P sets to become outdated, and that you really must have one of tese new 2160p sets if you want to even THINK of keeping up with the jonses.

    As a quick note. I am actualy finaly ditching the first, and only, TV I ever had (making it around 14 yrs old now I think), a 20" CRT that had some sorta funky colour burns on the sides...
    I am replacing it with:
    My boss' old 20" CRT that works!

    What can one use to feed this beast ? Where to find very-very-HD contents ? Hook up four DVD players, with each disc containing a quarter of the movie's image. Then lign up your remotes on the coffee table and use the index and middle fingers of both your hands to press play.
