2160p
2160p is the shorthand name for a video mode planned to appear in future HDTV products.[1] It has a resolution of 3840x2160 (16:9).[2][3] The number 2160 stands for 2,160 lines of vertical display resolution, while the letter p stands for progressive scan or non-interlaced. In a progressive image the lines of resolution of the image go from the top of the screen to the bottom.
2160p is also called "Quad HD" and "Super Quad HDTV" since it displays four times the number of pixels of the highest HDTV standard resolution, 1080p (a standard which is also known as "Full HD"). Super Quad Full High Definition (SQFHD) is the next step in high-resolution display technology, and won't start shipping until 2016.[citation needed] The only planned higher definition format for television is Ultra High Definition Video.
Phillips has made a 3D Quad HDTV with a native resolution of 2160p.[citation needed]
Sony plans quad hd tv. Holographic Versatile Discs may be used for 2160p video since it theoretically has a storage capacity of up to 10 Terabytes.
