At the moment, I'd rather they got 1080p broadcasting sorted, rather than the 1080i we currently get...
We'd have to get bigger DVR's
Still - gotta admit, 2160p50 at only twice the bitrate of 1080i50/1080p25 is pretty impressive.
That's 8 times as much picture for only twice the bandwidth.
Progressive video can often be encoded more efficiently than interlaced, I believe (mocomp and such). Also, one has to wonder how a good 1080 feed upscaled to 4K will look compared to "the real deal". Well made DVDs often look very good alongside not-so-good Blu-Rays.Originally Posted by zaph0d

Isn't it about time we standardised globally on 60p?
Oh, and UK HD broadcasts on freeview run at 8-10Mb, so this is 4x times that...
Holy crap never expected to live to the time we would enjoy such a glorious quality.
Personally, I'm not convinced that I see the point for TV broadcasts - I'm not sure that 1080p is really missing much detail in terms of films, certainly not on the typical-sized screens that the average consumer has.
PC screens... now that would be interesting.
If you are well off enough to own an 80" television might be quite useful!
THey need to sort out regular HD broadcasting in this country first though.
Ridiculous - by the time the first 8k broadcast/film is available, the majority of, say, Sky's channels will still be low bit rate SD.
