OK, then, will it ever be possible to view a 4K quality transfer on any home video format?

Maybe. Maybe not. I think the incremental improvement over the current nowhere-near-mainstream-let-alone-over-the-hill HD formats will at some resolution become pointless. Might even be there now, actually. Just not enough people will be able to see enough difference, especially at the small screen sizes we're working with.

And even if 4k does become available, I doubt that you'd be able to tell the difference between that and 1080p, when the source is a 16mm reduction print.

I think most of us would be willing to give our left... leg for a 1080p transfer of the OOT. I don't see there ever being much interest in anything better than that between now and 2025, say. Which is good, because I think even a 1080p transfer will be extremely hard to come by.
