<<Today at the VidCon 2010 conference, we announced support for videos shot in 4K (a reference resolution of 4096 x 3072), meaning that now we support original video resolution from 360p all the way up to 4096p. To give some perspective on the size of 4K, the ideal screen size for a 4K video is 25 feet; IMAX movies are projected through two 2k resolution projectors.>>

This is impressive, but of no use to the individual user.

Perhaps there's a plan for YouTube to become involved in video distribution to movie theaters.
