At the big IFA consumer electronics show
in Berlin, one of the major trends was the rollout of 4K TV, those
super-high resolution displays that offer four times the resolution of
ordinary HDTV. A variety of companies were getting into the act, such as
LG, with its 84-inch 3D TV (model 84LM9600) that's already shipping in
Korea.

Toshiba showed
off an 840inch 4K TV, too, also sporting an exceptionally sharp
3840x2160-pixel screen. Toshiba says its entry into the 4K Derby will
roll out early next year.
I think this is a spectacular technology exercise, but content needs to catch up. In fact, the only native content for sale for 4K TVs is the lovely "Timescape," a 50-minute film featuring spectacular time-lapse photography of the night sky.
That's not going to be enough to sell a lot of TVs, but the rollout of these new supersets gives us a peek into the future, and if they sell well, they might even be a lifesaver for beleaguered TV set manufacturers.
