News - BBC broadcasts gig in Super Hi-Vision

[CWH]

Ah, see I thought that because the level of HD is classed by the vertical resolution (720p or 1080p etc) that 4k was also the vertical resolution. So 4k is the hoizonatal resolution then?

This makes Super Hi Vision even more impressive then.

4k is the vertical resolution - 4x the 1080

Thats pretty damn impressive - I give it a few years until people start trolling one another on forums about whether you can see the difference on a 32" tv set

That's what I thought, but not according to Wikipedia:

Seems that is the horizontal resolution.
Super Hi-Vision is what NHK is calling 8K or Ultra High Definition.
