New technology takes time to develop and bring the costs down.

The early adopters always pay top price.

Blu-ray background
Blu-Ray was first announced at the CEATEC exhibition in October 2000
The first Blu-Ray players were available to consumers in Japan, beginning in April 2003, costing approximately $3,800.
Sony's first Blu-ray player model BDP-S1 in U.S. cost on October 25, 2006 for Sony began to mass market their Blu-Ray player for approximately $699.

You can now purchase a Blu-ray player for under $200. in 2009. That is 8 years before it really took off from the first announcement and 9 years before the first Star Trek release on this consumer home video format.

Super Hi-vision (SHV) prototype system demonstrated in September 2003
demonstrated at Expo 2005, Aichi, Japan, the NAB 2006 and NAB 2007 conferences, Las Vegas, and at IBC 2006 and IBC 2008
from Wikipedia.

NHK hopes that devices capable of dispaying the 8K resolution images will be available on the market by 2020.

Super Hi-Vision Technology to Reach Consumers in 2020


If SHV was prototyped in 2003 and plans for initial broadcasts to start in 2015 you should plan accordingly for 2020.
