Youtube now supports a broadcast resolution much greater than High Definition, called 4K, which apparently projects sharply onto a screen size of 25 feet. Home theater courtesy of Youtube? In a big way!
Youtube is owned by Google. With Google TV, launching this fall in the U.S., and a year later in Canada, I think Youtube can be the dominant global Video Distribution Station by 2013.
For the Independent movie/TV/video producer/creator, this is a dream distribution solution. Youtube allows the option to sell content. So you can provide free webepisodes/trailers to promote the show you sell. Youtube makes money from advertising around free content, and shares these ad revenues with content owners. You have to tell a story, for free, to sell a story. I can see selling a movie as a 4K pay per view item, and/or as downloads, from Youtube!
Read about 4K on Mashable and CNET. Watch sample 4K videos on Youtube, if your hardware can handle it. I'm sure Sony and Google are banking on the idea that everyone will want to watch this much higher quality video and are developing the hardware solution. So wait a little while longer before buying your next TV...
