Haven’t bought a 4K TV set yet?
You might as well just wait for the next big thing—8K!
PCWorld.com reports:
Rave comments were heard in front of Sharp’s latest prototype 8K display at the CEATEC electronics expo outside Tokyo this week as the company tries to spark interest in the next level of dazzling displays.
The enormous 85-inch LCD display has a resolution of 7,680 by 4,320 pixels, which is 16 times that of standard HD TVs, and a frame frequency of 120 Hz. The screen was showing eye-popping images of Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. Even close up, its tiny individual pixels were very hard to see.
Japan is firmly behind 8K. Sharp’s prototype netted an award from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, which is promoting the standard along with public broadcaster NHK.
“In 2020, we will be hosting the Tokyo Olympics, so we need to prepare the environment so audiences can watch 4K or 8K broadcasts,” said Takahiro Izumoto of NHK’s Engineering Administration Department.
As of now, everything 8K is experimental. The hardware must catch up will all the broadcast and infrastructure! Perhaps 8K is coming in a long while. So now, with all these beautiful 4K films coming out from the giant and even independent filmmakers, why not secure a good 4K TV set into your homes today?
