Washington, D.C. (November 2, 2009) -- Research firm InStat says a new version of High-Definition TV will hit the marketplace in the next five to 10 years.

Called 'Ultra" High-Definition, the new format will deliver a picture resolution between four and 16 times of current HDTVs and Blu-ray high-def discs.

The format is now in the experimental stage in Japan and some movie theaters.

"(In-Stat) believes there will be a lengthy time period
before the UHD market reaches a critical mass of 5% household penetration," the research firm said in a press release. "However, as the initial market debuts over the next five to ten years, there will be ample opportunities for technology companies, manufacturers, service providers and media companies to experiment with business models and strategies to make UHD a strong business in the long term."

"UHD formats provide...a vast improvement over the
currently available end user viewing experience in the home. As originally proposed, UHD comes in two levels of resolution: 7680 x 4320 pixels (i.e., 8K resolution), and 3840 x 2160 (i.e., 4K resolution)," the group added.
