There is actually something better than 3D TV out there it’s called 4K or 4K resolution TV. The idea behind 4K is that it provides the maximum resolution possible 4,000 pixels of resolution hence the term 4K. 4K is being developed for both digital movies and television and it will soon be in your living room.
Actually you can have it right now if you want to shell out $11,000 US or £7,200 UK for the Toshiba Regza 553X3 TV set. Toshiba and the tech press claim that Regza 553X3 can upscale some 3D and high quality film content to the 4K level. Sony has also entered the 4K market with a 4K projector similar to

Y4K? The 4K TV Revolution is Coming

You may already know by now, but new home theater projectors, and soon TVs, will be arriving sporting over-the-top resolution of 4K. Do you want it? Do you need it? What is 4K anyway?
4K is the shorthand term for an onscreen resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels, which is about 4 times the number of the 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels) TV you just bought. Only a few companies right now offer consumer 4K projectors for home theater use, and there are no 4K TVs on the market, but I expect 4K to be one of the big messages coming out of the Consumer Electronic Show in January (several prototypes have been shown at conferences).
So why 4K? First, let’s be clear—the primary reason manufacturers come out with a new technology is so they can make you think the old technology isn’t good enough anymore. Then you run out and buy the new thing. (How many people have replaced their perfectly-good iPhone for a new iPhone?) Sometimes they’re absolutely right. When HDTV was introduced, standard television hadn’t seen a significant change in decades, so HD was exactly the revolution the industry said it was. Then came the 720p vs. 1080i vs. 1080p debates. When 1080p first emerged, many people argued it was unnecessary and impossible to discern. Depending on the TV, the seating distance and the content, some of those naysayers were right, though today a good Blu-ray on a good 50-inch or larger 1080p TV can’t be beat.

Forget about 3D and HD, it seems the future of television is 4K.
4K refers to the 4,000 pixels of horizontal resolution, as opposed to the current 1080p high def standard, which describes the number of vertical pixels.
TV giants Sony and Toshiba were both showing off new 4K TVs and projectors at this year's show, with Toshiba's Regza 55X3 TV and Sony's 4K home projector, the VPL-VW1000ES, both set to be available to Japanese home cinema fans in the near future.

This December, MAKUHARI, Japan--Toshiba has been showing off a dazzling 55-inch glasses-free 3D TV here at the Ceatec technology trade show. It will soon be launching in Japan and Germany, and people are queuing for half an hour to see it.
It will be the world's first 4K TV for the consumer market. The Regza 55X3 has a QFHD (Quad Full HD) screen with 3,840 x 2,160 resolution. That's about 8.29 million pixels, four times that of full HD, and quite a leap from previous 3D Regza models.
With a button push screen is turned on to 2D mode. There's a camera under the screen that tracks viewers' faces to adjust the 3D viewable range.

Sony and Toshiba battle to bring 4K TV tech home

The opening day of CEATEC 2011 saw two of Japan's biggest technology companies, Sony and Toshiba, announce 4K products that will be available in the shops this December.
Toshiba revealed its 4K glasses-free television for the Japanese market, the Regza 55X3, while Sony showed off its 4K home projector, the VPL-VW1000ES.
If that last sentence gave you a case of déjà vu don't worry, as both of these products have already been announced – Toshiba's at IFA 2011 (under the guise of the 55ZL2) and the Sony projector at this year's IBC. Sharp also showed off its 4K television at CEATEC but this is still a prototype at the moment.
The difference between these products being shown off in Japan rather than Europe, however, is that they will be available before the year is out in a country that is on the cusp of offering 4K television transmissions.

There's no word on exactly what tech ESPN is putting in, but with ESPN 3D already up and running and the 1080p-ready LA studios plus MPEG-4 broadcast equipment ready to go, it wasn't a shock to hear Chuck asked people to "get used to hearing the term 4K TV." If you're not familiar with the name, check after the break for an Engadget Show segment we filmed with him in Bristol last year as well as a press release that rattles off his (long) list of accomplishments

Samsung shows off 4K super-high resolution 3D TV

Metal oxide transistors helped Samsung power 8 billion pixels in an HDTV and will usher in the next generation of high resolution displays
There are 2,073,600 pixels in a 1920x1080 HDTV. That’s two million! A rare few monitors exceed that resolution--the 2560x1440 Apple iMac screen ups the pixel count by a million and a half to 3,686,400 pixels. Yet even the Apple Cinema Display can't hold a candle to a prototype 3DTV Samsung showed off last week, which manages to pack eight million pixels into a 70” screen. Impressive as lofty numbers can be, the technology behind Samsung’s TV is more interesting than a raw pixel count.

Is 4K Necessary in HDTV?

At CES this year I saw a number of 4K or 4K x 2K (3840×2160) resolution TVs and projectors on display. The only time I’ve seen so many 4K displays under one roof was at Infocomm, a trade show that focuses on the professional, commercial and large-venue market (think Jumbotron) not the home market. A recent article by DisplaySearch analyst Paul Gray suggests there’s not much of a need for 4K displays (except in limited circumstances) and that there are several important issue which could impede their implementation.
But 4K displays may be coming to the home, and you may have good reason to want one....

Today at VidCon 2010 in Los Angeles, YouTube director of product management Hunter Walk announced that YouTube will be launching a whole new level of HD streaming - 4K Video Streaming.
By selecting the “original” setting, users will be able to watch videos in 4096p resolution. While this won’t have much effect on creators whose cameras don’t go past 1080p, but according to Walk about 10 percent of all videos uploaded to YouTube to date are in HD quality, which makes it one of the largest HD video sites in the world.
Improvements to the annotation feature were also promised, with more customization to come in the fall and winter. “You’ll be able to bring in even more types of information,” Walk said, including the ability to pull in a live Twitter feed into a video.
