Panasonic's Toughpad 4K UT-MB5 is mostly for professional users, but the tablet's 20-inch, 3840 x 2560 pixel screen may attract some consumers, as long as they are willing to part with €4,500 (US$5,900).
Ultra High-Definition, or 4K, is one of the big trends at this year's IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin, with video cameras and smartphones that can shoot content and TVs and projectors to view it on. Amid all the 4K products, the Toughpad 4K UT-MB5, a prototype of which was shown at International CES in January, is a standout.
The finished product runs Windows 8.1 and is powered by a 1.9GHz Intel Core i5 processor. It weighs 2.35 kilograms and is 12.5 millimeters thick. It offers 256GB of SSD storage and up to 8GB RAM.
The 4K resolution on a 20-inch screen is equal to 230 pixels per inch. That compares to HTC One's 468 ppi on a 4.7-inch screen and the Samsung's Galaxy S4's 441 ppi on a 5-inch screen. LG Display is also working on a 5.5-inch screen with a 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution, or 538 ppi.
