Sharp to sell the first commercial 8K screen for $133K in October, but you'll need not one, but 4 HD - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Porkychop~;48698922]ah yes, we should take all the people working on the 8k displays and put them into the battery research division. that will surely expedite progress.[/QUOTE] Instead of tiny tiny pixels they could do tiny tiny batteries.

[QUOTE=helifreak;48698861]Eyes are resolution agnostic.[/QUOTE] Maybe in the computer term of the word, but there is certainly a limit to the number of cones and rods in the eye. It is glossing over a very complex issue of human visual perception, though.

Soon anyone will be able to watch porn in fully detailed HD, down to the individual sperm swimming across the actress' face.

[QUOTE=aydin690;48699136]Anybody that buys this TV is a dumb dumb. For 25k you can buy one of these 4k sony projectors (VPL-VW1100ES): [t]http://www.projectorreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/test_sony_vpl-vw1000es_artikelbild.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] Then a single dust particle lands on the lens and the whole thing's ruined.

Why are they using HDMI over DisplayPort? Isn't DsplayPort mostly used in all the applications people have stated here or is there some technical limitation? Also I've heard that once pixel density goes beyond 800ppi, display resolutions become indistinguishable. For reference, 800ppi is about 4k on a 5.5" phone

I think it depends on the size of the screen. I think a 1080TV at 46" and under is fine, but at around the 50" mark you would see right away the difference between 1080 and 4k, and prefer 4k over 1080. At what point would you need to scale the TV up to see the difference between 4k and 8k. It would be large enough that it wouldn't be practical for the home. Not that it's practical anyway. The one thing I know that was in 8k was shown at 4k anyway

[quote]While 8K content and 8K cameras are still rare, the Japanese news site AV Watch, which was first to report Sharp's TV, suggested the product could be used in hospitals to provide keyhole surgeons with better imagery.[/quote] can we please please please please stop assuming that just because it has no place in our living rooms, new technology is useless..?

8k at 80" has about the same pixel density as a 1440p 27" monitor. So I think it's safe to say that most 8k televisions aren't going to be under 75". [editline]17th September 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Bazsil;48702668]can we please please please please stop assuming that just because it has no place in our living rooms, new technology is useless..?[/QUOTE] The problem is that most people value how useful they are based on content, not productivity, which is annoying because it leads to less of a variety when it comes to monitors. I had to go with acer of all manufacturers to get a decent 4k display because all the dells were sold out and the rest were tn panels.

i have to be honest here, some people need to take a step back and not blindly comment on things they don't really know a whole lot about. this isn't just some rich person TV

Watching shit resolution tv on an 8K tv, let alone 4K tv is beyond pointless. TV in Sweden is barely even 720p. Most channels are standard definition. Then again tv in the traditional sense is dying.

sweden HD would be 1080i60 [editline]17th September 2015[/editline] not that it's even relevant because sharp do in fact realize that this isn't for everyday joe to watch HDTV on

We've reached the maximum resolution density necessary already with 1080p for smaller TVs and 4K for larger ones. We've reached the same limit with phones. The only things left seem to be desktop monitors and VR headsets.

Makes me wonder why no Asian companies have stuffed 4x 4k panels into a ~80" display yet, and done the same thing for 1/10th the price.

i thought the pricepoint would have made it blindingly obvious this is not intended for home use, rather professional industries but hey, its facepunch

[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;48704496]i thought the pricepoint would have made it blindingly obvious this is not intended for home use, rather professional industries but hey, its facepunch[/QUOTE] Blame the whole forum for not pointing something out that isn't even that obvious. A forum that you are also a part of. Good job.

[QUOTE=Tools;48704069]Makes me wonder why no Asian companies have stuffed 4x 4k panels into a ~80" display yet, and done the same thing for 1/10th the price.[/QUOTE] Well, Sharp is an asian company. :buckteeth:

It was not a success.

[QUOTE=27X;48700937]HDMI is already on its way out.[/QUOTE] HDMI was on the way out right when it was introduced, its only used because it has built in DRM features that none of the other formats have. As a display format, HDMI takes two steps forwards then three backwards, DVI can support better resolutions than HDMI and DisplayPort fucking obliterates it, again the only thing it has going for it is the fact it can carry audio and has built in DRM called HDCP. HDMI is a joke and needs to be removed from the market already.

Did you guys know Japan is going to skip 4K broadcasting and go to 8K (33 megapixel)? Here is one of the new cameras: [url]http://www.videouniversity.com/first-8k-handheld-camera/[/url]
