Looks like they are getting serious about going after DLP in the cinema and simulation market.

The reason there was no 1080p60 is there wasn't enough bandwidth to support double the data rate.

took ~15 years to make it to market

4K has been around for a few years... and time to market has accelerated in technology.

You might start seeing 4K in another 5-10 years.

1080p24 will be more common in a few years.

I highly doubt you will see 4k in the consumer realm in 10 years. That JVC LCoS chip is 1.78" WAY too big and expensive to be used in consumer space just like TI's DLP 2K set. 4k has been around in the telecine industry for a couple of years, but most stuff is still done in 2k, just now you are seeing a lot of expensive movies use 4k intermediates.

WAY too much money has been spent on supporting up to 1080p. The ROI on that equipment has to be met before broadcasters are going to upgrade.

While it's possible to see the upgrade to a higher resolution happen faster, but because of standardization times and the equipment costs I doubt something around 4k would happen any earlier than 25 years where there is an end to end broadcast system in place.

There are some advantages you can get in the MPEG-2 process dealing with field encoding but raw bandwidth is the same.
