Japanese scientists have shown an audience in Amsterdam a new standard in television pictures. Ultra High Definition uses 16 times as many pixels as present-day HDTV, and uses 24 speakers in a new surround sound system.
Unfortunately the screens needed are the size of cinema screens, and the data required to broadcast the system is so huge it is not yet economically or physically viable as a TV standard.
According to the news article on BBC.co.uk, HD was invented 40 years ago. So we'll probably have to wait another 25 or so years before UHDTV becomes anywhere near possible.
You can bet though, when it happens, that Sky won't be able to supply UHD boxes in time for the 2032 World Cup
