It's all about the viewing angle. If it's a 65" display, and you sit 4' from it, then even 2160p will be well within most people's visual acuity. If it's a 42" display, and the buyer sits 8' or 10' away (yes, many will), then obviously it's worthless.
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the other obvious use for this... Don't know if the TV will support it, but if it'll take a 2160p input, you could use an outboard processor... How about a FOUR 1080p images all simultaneously displayed? You'd need multiple receivers to do it, but I would think some of you football freaks would be all over this for your living room!

At 2160 it would make a pretty sharp PC monitor. Hope they use a technology that can produce a black level.

I was talking about 4 football games or 4 b-ball games during March Madness or something... Since no more than one or two of those are ever on OTA at the same time, I was thinking you'd need something like NFL Sunday Ticket or NCAA Mega March Madness to do it.
Plus, on the old Mits... Those weren't really live full-motion images, were they? Didn't it do that skip/capture thing where it just went in circles and grabbed images continuously from the multiple channels?

I couldn't tell you how it worked. I pulled it up once when I first got the TV, looked at it and said to myself, WTF do you need this sh*t for? And haven't seen it since.

No matter what tech they use, PIP is by definition going to be inferior to a full 1080p image. And often, as SC said, they don't update them at full speed, so they're tiny AND jerky. Not in the same ballpark as 4 * 1080p, for sure.
But then nobody but an absolute maniac would need 4 * 1080p anyway...

I think the Crabb is right. I remember we had a Diamond vision Mitsu rear pro in the shop. It had the pip but the multi channel pip (6, 9) was a freeze frame image.
