According to Sony, in a future update, their flagship gaming console, the PlayStation 3 will be able to display and output pictures with a 4k resolution. The update which is aimed for sometime in early 2012 will mean that those who are shooting high resolution pictures with their digital cameras and have a higher end projector (seeing how all LCD televisions are capped at 1080p or 1920 x 1080) will be able to playback their photos and view them in all their glory. Could this update also hint at higher end, 4k resolution video playback as well? With the power of the multicore Cell processor inside of the PS3, one can only imagine.
