Sharp's 4K LCD features native 10-bit output, pricing revealed

We have heard about 4K TVs for quite some time. In fact, if you have around $35-50,000 to spare, you can get a Westinghouse 46" 4K (http://www.westinghousedigital.com/details.aspx?itemnum=204) or a 56" 4K LCD display (http://www.westinghousedigital.com/details.aspx?itemnum=240). However, these screens come at a resolution of 3840x2160 and 16:9 aspect ratio.
In a contrast to current Quad HD model line-up, Sharp entered the market with a 64" (162cm) LCD TV (http://www.sharpsme.com/Page.aspx/europe/en/0904fcfc-3a65-4379-bdd1-f875c83fe1e5/18.03.2009/) display featuring a resolution of 4096 times 2160 pixels. It looks a little bit weird that the panel is still 16:9, but this is more natural than 3840x2160, a 16:10 resolution squeezed on 16:9 panel. Specifications are pretty impressive, especially given the screen density of 85 ppi [Pixel Per Inch]. To be honest, we would have to say that this 63" screen is more a 43 kilogram heavy computer display than a Consumer Electronics part. With the help of Eyevis, this product feature a lot of features from professional LCD displays.

What GPU can push that res effectively. Seems like a waste, there is nothing that can utilise the res, to read text you'd need a microscope

Quadros....lol, aren't they insanely expensive also. pretty niche markey. Actually thought of a use for the res, retouching. The display is able to show close to 9 megapixel, problem is at 63" you would need it about 10 ft away from you, otherwise the viewing angle from left to right would probably distort the colours. I still want 1 though, you could watch 2 HD movies side by side...or better yet use it to view 1 movie in proper 3D
