I saw this demonstrated at BBC Broadcasting House, London. A combined NHK/BBC team televised part of the olympics. Some live material and also recordings were relayed to screens in London, 2 other UK sites, 1 or 2 in the US and 2 in Japan.
I wasn't quite close enough to the (big) screen to see all the potential resolution but the results were impressive. Even under difficult lighting conditions (fireworks and heaven knows what else) the results were consistently excellent. The style was relaxed, mainly wide shots, with little panning or zooming. I think this style suits the system - imagine the horror of a big close up of somebody's face many time larger than life.
Will it happen in the home? I really don't know, houses in many parts of the world are too small to accommodate a screen big enough to do justice to the system.
