Nvidia Shows Tegra 4 on 3820×2160 (4K) Display

And surely I mean a 80" 4k resolution Ultra HDTV. With the recent announcement of Tegra 4 it became clear that it was going to support a maximum monitor output resolution of 3820×2160 (4K). More after the break.

Well, to put the icing on top of the cake ever at a Mobile Exhibition (MWC) in Barcelona they are showing off Tegra 4 on a nice 80" 4K Display.

The big problem with these resolutions is simple, there is no support or content for it. 4K Ultra HD TV is a thing of beauty alright, when you look at such a screen, it's more like looking out a window — the images are that real. however 4K content has yet to arrive.

Tegra 4 (codename Wayne) will be a quad-core Cortex-A15 (with a fifth, low-power companion core), with a 72-core GPU — six times more than Tegra 3.The Tegra 4 SoC would get a six-fold of graphics processing power compared to the current generation, 72 Shader processors. It doesn't stop there though. Tegra 4 will apparently be capable of outputting 1080p @ 120Hz, full hardware encode/decode for video up to 2560×1440 (1440p), and a maximum output resolution of 3820×2160 (4K).

Hopefully the media for this wont be vapourware like 10 to 16 bits per colour - 30 to 48bit colour (current max for released video is 8bits per colour - 24bit colour).
The TV infrastructure is nowhere near ready for 4K video, so looks like this is our game for a while chaps

Bloody hell!
If I were to use one as a monitor, I'd have to sit outside at the bottom of my driveway in order to see the screen clearly!

Wouldn't be too funny doing that in the weather we're having just now.
