Of course presently there is no 4K format for the consumer. But theaters are now beginning to install this, and I suspect that there will be some kind of 4K consumer format in the next few years.<br /><br />Yeah, <i>Sen's</i> original digital master was 2010x1086, which was trimmed to 1920x1080 for the 1080p24 master. Since the original scanned drawings are long gone, I don't know if that 2010x1086 master could be upres'ed with good enough quality to 3996x2160, the DCI (Disney is a partner in DCI) 4K spec for 1.85AR cinema.<br /><br />As for that Oga Art Blu-ray, I have it and it is beautiful. In addition to the several documentaries on the disc, there is a 1080p gallery of all of the pieces that were in the exhibition. You have the option to directly access any image in the gallery, or view the entire gallery in "slideshow" mode. It looks like that's where the visuals for that Spanish Youtube came from.<br /><br />I also have the museum catalog from that exhibition - another great way to look at Oga's work, short of actually being at the exhibition.<br /><br />PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-87492967492648843352011-05-24T20:44:48.166-05:002011-05-24T20:44:48.166-05:00Ghibli's digital films are barely over 1080p. ...Ghibli's digital films are barely over 1080p.

Although these announcements are old (2008 and 2009) I have no doubt that those models will hit the street soon (and would have hit the street sooner, if not for the now stillborn home and theater 3D wave of 2010).<br /><br />I guess I'll quit buying Blu-rays for now, or at least wait for NHK's 7K system to come out on some kind of home delivery system... :) Finally I'll be able to enjoy near-35mm film quality at home without having to build a 35mm screening room in my house! (Neither Blu-ray nor theatrical D-Cinema comes close.)<br /><br />PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
