Samsung Says Phooey to 1080p, Goes 4x Better with Quad HD

From Gizmodo.com:

After boring us to tears with matters of little import at a jam-packed press event at CES, behind the scenes, Samsung was prepping the real stuff. Top of the list: A Quad HD TV with a rez of 3840x2160, twice as sharp vertically and horizontally as today's best 1080p sets.

2160p? I bet it looks amazing, but it would be a little unfair to the consumer IMO. 1080p hasn't even become the standard yet, with HD broadcasting still only being able to display in 1080i/720p.

But still, I'd love to see what it looks like in that high of a resolution, Samsung's are my favorite HDTV's.

DARKKNIGHT5990d ago

sony is already exploring this territory in ultra high def displays.

Crazyglues5990d ago

yeah but think computer monitor... this would be perfect.

ichimaru5991d ago

i thought the human eye couldn't notice any better than 1080p?

socomnick5991d ago

human eye can see like something like 200+ megapixels so yes it can see better than 1080p.

ichimaru5990d ago

oh,thnx. guess i heard wrong. so will there be a noticable difference, like 1008p vs 720p

spammy_nooo5990d ago

50 Gig Blu-ray disc = 1080P movie with extra content
200 Gig Blu-ray disc = 2160P movie with extra content

Only possible with Blu-ray BTW.

And I know that they haven't -*actually*- reached 200 gigs yet. Just sayin' though.

bootsielon5990d ago

My exact thought. Bubbles for you

DJ5990d ago

Yeah, uh, I'm happy with 1080p.

spammy_nooo5990d ago

I know, right?

I, personally, am happy with 720p(that's the best set I have.)

1080p does look better, but after a while its just not worth the money.

IMO!

Bladestar5990d ago

ofcourse you are... don't worry in no time Sony will announce a higher resolution for their TV or something and you will be all over it.

Omegasyde5990d ago (Edited 5990d ago )

Later this year Microsoft will drop the 360 at Christmas and go with the new xbox console; Xbox Revolution.

The only thing MSFT will let you carry over will be your XBL account and the system will have no backwards compatability.

Wait a second! This scenario sounds like November 2005!

Go away troll.

Here's a closer look at the new ASUS ROG Ally X as early renders are leaked online

It's almost time for the ASUS ROG Ally X to be revealed, and these leaked renders already provide a look at the device and its specs.

Is it running the same Windows OS? Because that is the biggest issue with the current Ally.

Now if only Lenovo would do the same for the legion go

New and improved ASUS ROG Ally X battery life is just what it needs to compete with the Steam Deck

Yet another leak for the ASUS ROG Ally X points towards as much as 8 hours of battery, but how does that compare to the competition?

Vits15d ago

Honestly, I really like this updated version. But it doesn't solve the biggest flaw that the original had for me: the Z1 Extreme APU. Yes, it's an extremely powerful part, but it is not part of AMD's Adrenalin driver update program, so it's dependent on Asus for driver updates. And unfortunately, Asus doesn't have a stellar record of support for their devices.

Goodguy0115d ago

Up to 8 hours basically just means the least demanding games. AAA gaming at highest wattage would probably be about 2-3 hours which is good compared to just about 1 hour with the current ally. The OLED Deck can do about 2-3hrs.

mrcatastropheAF12d ago

With much less performance so that makes sense.

The Steamdeck shines at the lower TDP end but gets absolutely mopped at the high end.

Similar longevity with much better performance is a big win for the Ally X

Killa7813d ago

Too bad Asus are all awful company.

PRIMORDUS13d ago

They used to be the best when it comes to motherboards, now I will never buy anything from them again.

Firebird36013d ago

8 hrs yea right. Running tetris?

Skuletor13d ago

Only after setting the screen brightness to the lowest level, of course.

Notellin12d ago

They tested the battery life watching a game of Tetris in 360p. Running Tetris natively brought the number down slightly to 1 hour and 38 minutes. 😂

Asuka13d ago

Nope. The only improvements I want to hear is better customer support. Otherwise, I can't be bothered.
