[QUOTE="superballs, post: 138130, member: 341"] Don't fall for the marketing. What you call 2K resolution is nothing more than 1080p Standard 4K 16:9 resolution is 3840 × 2160 which is exactly twice the number of pixels of 1920x1080 in EACH direction. 4K sounds "SO MUCH BETTER" because instead of counting the number of horizontal lines like we've been doing since NTSC, they decided that counting the number of vertical lines would be much more impressive sounding. There's also an "ultra wide" standard for 4K that is 21:9(5120 × 2160), and the horizontal resolution (number of vertical lines) is over 5000 so could even be called 5K if one would like. Essentially, we already have 2K and TPA is already able to be displayed in 2K. That said, iPad retina is only a couple hundred extra lines of resolution and that really isn't that huge an improvement, so it's not really worth farsight's time to support it natively. Even on the new Nexus 7, which is only 120 horizontal lines better than 1080P. [/QUOTE]
