   If you think high-definition television offers a "wow" factor, get ready for "wow" times a factor of four.

But you'll have to make plans to visit the 2005 World Expo in Aichi, Japan.

NHK will demonstrate "Ultra HD," with 4,000 lines of resolution (compared with today's limit of 1080i [interlace]).

"The resolution is three or four times the resolution of 75mm [75-millimeter] film," said Katsuji Ebisawa, president of Japanese public broadcaster NHK, which is developing the technology. "Of course, it may take two decades or more to put it on the market, but at least we can put it on display at exhibitions."

Yea, but the question is : interlaced or progressive scan?
Will football and other fast moving sports still have artifacting with 4000 lines of res interlaced?
