I think we should go from horizontal line descriptors like 1080p to vertical ones like 4k. Since we're in the digital age, everything should be progressive (don't get me started on interlaced "hd" broadcasts), so we don't need to bother with "p" or "i". Besides, vertical resolution varies with aspect ratio - I have 1080p movies with a resolution of 1920x816 (2.35:1), 1920x1038 (1.85:1), 1920x1080 (1.78:1 or 16:9), and there are more. Notice the constant here? Hint: it's 1920.
What's more: I want 4k resolutions on computer monitors in the 24-30" ranges. I don't care about 50" TV's, but all the "retina" rage and 1080p 10-inch tablets tell me that hardware like that would be a real hit. I can see obvious benefits for all kinds of graphic, design and video editing work.
