Remember the first time you saw a Blu-ray or an HD TV and you thought everything looked like soap opera? The visuals were, without a doubt, very impressive; you could see every wrinkle on the actors’ faces, every blemish on their body, how much make-up they managed to cake on, all sorts of stuff.
That was just 1080p. Can you imagine what the future is going to look like with resolution that is four times that high definition-ness?
It isn’t science fiction. 4k resolution is becoming increasingly popular in filming movies for the big screen. And Sony and other companies have been working on 4k resolution for their next generation of entertainment systems.
While most HD is currently at 1920 x 1080 pixels, 4k means 3840 x 2160 pixels (even though that’s only mathematically 2 x 1080p, it actually is 4 x 1080p in resolution terms).
In other words, it turns this:
1080p is on top, if you coouldn't notice
Into this:
Fortunately for gamers, this evolution of visual beauty will soon include the PS4 (why not just call it the PS4k?) BGR.com has learned from an unknown source that the PS4 will indeed support this amazing 4k resolution. Video game graphics are going to be insane.
Sony is working on the S790 player that will increase their Blu-ray resolution to 4k, and both Sony and Toshiba are working on 80-inch televisions capable of 4k resolution. The idea behind this is, as televisions are getting bigger, the resolution has to keep up. 1080p looks its best on screens up to 80 inches. Beyond 80 inches, a higher resolution, like 4k, is needed to maintain the quality.
In the near future (2013), 4k TV owners, especially PS4 owners, are going to be drooling at their television sets.
Wow, that is a big step, I must say! Going to be amazing, although I am more of a PC gamer myself, but I guess I could spare some money for a PS4(k) and an 80″ TV.
great so now my eyes will burn into my brain
PS4 + 4k 80” TV + Battlefield 4/FIFA 14 = Now I may rest in peace
would it still work on tv that dont have hd resolution?
well whats going to suck about this is before you can play on the 3840 x 2160 pixels graphics on the game you will need to buy a tv that supports it.
The only thing about going into 4k, that I see, is that to view it in that resolution you would need a TV or monitor that can support that high of a resolution. It was the same sort of problem with the retina display on the “new” iPad (or iPad3). It is in a super high resolution but there are hardly any video that would utilize the full potential of that display.
When PS6 arrives. Anyone in this blog will be dead by then.
What are you talking about? The PlayStation 1,2, and 3 came out when I was alive and i’m only 15. About time the PS6 arrives(“MAYBE”)I would be like 28 or so. About time the PS10 arrives everyone that made this website and thats in this blog will be dead….
Unfortunately whilst I feel that the PS4 will be “capable” of 4k, I do not think that in the next few years consoles will be capable of playing games in these resolutions. The highest spec Gaming PC’s (and do not start an argument with me, PC hardware is more expensive because it is better, console games don’t lag because they are optimised) are barely capable of such things so consoles are a long way off. The Xbox 360 and the PS3 are currently based off hardware from 2005 and that hardware wasn’t top of the range then. Believe it or not most console games are not actually true 1080p, most are just 720p at maximum playing through a 1080p TV. I just cannot believe that Sony will be able to sell a 4k console in 2013 for a reasonable price. If the console cost like $1500 then maybe, but at $500 or less it is not possible. For the record I own both a Gaming PC and the consoles (360 and PS3) and they are all good!
The PS4 will definetly not come out in 2013. it has ten year life cycle that started in 2006 so we can excpect the next console by the year of 2016 or later. i do not agree that 1080p looks it best on up to 80 inches. i belive it is limited to up to 65 inches. i have seen 80 inch 1080p TV and it was horrible!. but it is good to see that sony is future proofing their next console just like they did with the ps3 in 2006. It is still the best Blu-Ray player you can get and it is amazing game console. The next console has to support Wireless N along with the new Wireless ac wich has 1000mbps!. i hope that sony’s next console will ship with bigger hard drive options and has an ssd(though that will probably increase the price tag). If it will be as portable as the Ps3 slim it will be very good. hope they put a new and much better cooling system in it,maybe even watercool it with closed-loop system,that would make it less loud and more secure. it would be conveinient to have more connections on the next console.
