I have noticed this on the Keene Electronics website.

Does anyone know if there's anything in the pipeline to make a TV capable of displaying resolutions at 2160P. If so, is there any point in buying a 1080P TV?

See Below:

I saw an 82in Samsung screen last week at IFA, described as 'Ultra High Def'. It's a 3840 x 2160 resolution, meaning it's 4 times the definition of Full HD.
It was displaying a loop of around 90 seconds of (extremely impressive) images. I believe that only JVC has 'UHD' cameras, and then only a couple (though that last bit could be apocryphal). Content is hard to come by.
This is technology not so much in its infancy as pre-foetal. I wouldn't let it put you off a 1080 screen, unless you're prepared to wait it out for years and years.

Has anyone reviewed this cable, as it's quite cheap at only £30?
