It's been a bit slow on the list, so I thought I'd share an article from =
the BBC site:

http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-19370582

I don't know that it's particularly relevant, considering there are only =
3 cameras in the world that shoot in the format, but I was interested to =
see that you can already buy a TV which supports digital cinema =
resolution ( 3840 x 2160 ) for $22,000 - not sure what you'd watch on it =
though:

http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/22/lg-4k-84-inch-uhdtv/

Most of the work I've done over the past year has been for =
multi-projector playback, so the large resolutions don't scare me - I'm =
just a bit surprised at how quickly the forecast is for this stuff to =
become mainstream.  I don't really see a demand for 8K material by the =
year 2020, which is what they suggest.  I think the enthusiasm for 8K =
television will come from manufacturers and no-one else...
