Plain Ole HD? Pshaw, Get Ready for Ultra HD

That beautiful 1080p picture you're enjoying? Well, you may as well just chuck it in the garbage, because Ultra High Definition is coming. Research firm In-Stat put out a report today saying that while it will take some time before the UHD market hits a critical mass of 5 percent household penetration, over the next five to 10 years, companies in the TV ecosystem will be able to experiment with business strategies to turn UHD into a strong business for the long haul.

UHD offers 16 times the resolution of Blu-ray along with 22.2 multichannel three-dimensional sound. Current proposals for UHD have the technology coming in two flavors: 7680 x 4320 pixels (8k resolution) and 3840 x 2160 pixels (4k resolution).

8K would finally satisfy me I think. Couple that with OLED screens. We would finally have smooth enough, and good enough color range screens to really look like your looking through a window.

now come on most things aren't even in 1080p so this is just to soon when we see everything hd they i will like the idea of uhd not that i don't want it but come on to soon for this no content for the tv i remember buying my 1080p and had no 1080p stuff to watch only bought it for my ps3 coming out later that year. We have to wait for the next big things witch for me is oled now i want that now you don't need content for that so bring that on and i don't want a 20" model i want a 55" one but will have to wait for that to but that is what is next

It's never too soon. The technology has to be set in place before an industry is willing to start moving towards it.

I just picked up 50" Panasonic Full 1080P HD plasma and clarity is so amazing that it made my old 50" Sony LCD 1080i look like a 14" crt. Even regular divx files look as clear as watching LIVE TV. Anyway I guess the UHD might become standard in 2015 or so as 1080P HD can easily satisfy all of the videophiles needs and not to mention the level of equipment requried to have UHD transmissions or devices to output.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
