HD (ATSC) uses MPEG-2 not MPEG-4 (H.264).

HDTV adoption took an act of Congress, a couple of billion in subsidies, and over a decade — that despite being a significantly more meaningful shift than what will come with moving to Ultra. TV makers are hurting to find a repeat boom like the one they enjoyed with the move to HD, but I’m afraid it’s back to the old days when we swapped our TVs maybe once a decade.

Most of what TV cameras are pointed at ISN’T fractal, so the same density of detail doesn’t maintain at higher resolutions, therefore, even the old algorithms are more efficient at crunching bigger pictures.

As for Tsahi, my 32 inch HDTV doesn’t approach being a true “retinal” display, so there’s plenty of room for it, even on a laptop, I suppose.

To me it seems like a solution waiting for a problem to come around. There’s definitely market niches for that, but I just don’t see it fitting into living rooms: http://www.nojitter.com/post/240003601/are-we-headed-towards-a-4k-industry

At least not the advantages part of it…

“Imagine not being able to tell the difference between your TV’s picture and looking out your window?”

Imagine articles that aren’t trying to sell something.
