Sony PS3 will support 4K image display, but no 4K video, yet

Sony PS3 will support 4K image display, but no 4K video, yet

Full HD is so yesteryear, now everything's going the 4K resolution. Sony has announced at the CEATEC event last week that the PS3 will get a firmware update around the beginning of 2012 that will allow it to natively output 4K stills, you know, those 4096×2160 pictures. There's a PlayView “visual magazine” already available on the PlayStation store in Japan that supports 4K and 3D, but this update will bring super high res viewing of your vacation pics, or any other high res image files you can snag, to the living room.
