Sharp shows first 7680 x 4320 pixel TV

Sharp showed off the first Super Hi-Vision TV, a 85" model with a resolution of 7,680 x 4,320 pixels. That's 16x more detail than run-off-the-mill 1080p HD TVs.

Its 103 pixels per inch may be just a fraction of those found in some of the pocket displays we've seen at SID this week, but that's still far more than the 36ppi of a 60-inch 1080p HDTV. If estimates are correct, we'll still be waiting until around 2020 for that 33MP video and 22.2 channel sound to actually be broadcast, although there's a possibility of some demonstrations happening during the 2012 Olympics.
