Sony recently tested its system using a clip from the 1965 classic "The Sound of Music." When it was projected in 4K, viewers were able to pick out two hairs sticking up from Julie Andrews' head and see details of the weave in her dress.

In the next 20 years it will all be digital, shooting or exhibiting film will be gone...Something hard to accept for many out there...But those who start embracing that now will be more ready as we continue to head that direction...

Only $100,000 for a 2K system, I want one for my living room!

Don't be misled by the article saying 'This weekend, Sony will begin a test of its new "4K" projector, which displays images at 8 million pixels horizontally'. It is of course only 4K horizontally.
