Panasonic Shows Off 145-Inch, 8K Res. Plasma Display

[freggo]

[citation][nom]gm0n3y[/nom]I'm planning on upgrading from my current 60" 1080p TV in a few years and I'd like to get one in the 70-80" range, but at 1080p the pixels will just be too big. I really hope that at least 2k displays (preferably 4k) are out at reasonable prices by then.[/citation]

Did you mean "4k" ?
1920x1080 is basically a "2k" display !

If a 1920x1080 movie takes up 50gb and you can fit 16 1080p displays in that a movie would take up 800gb. If you get a tv like that you would need a petabyte array to store your movies

And I thought... that's VHS in reverse. Oddly appropriate, considering the image quality.

Just you never try and play a game on a Toshiba Laptop that uses Intel Ivy Bridge, Sandy Bridge, or that first generation Intel HD graphics. Toshiba will customize the Intel HD graphics drivers, and you will not be able to update your Intel HD graphics Drivers at the Intel HD graphics driver web update page! Intel can not update OEM customized Intel HD graphics drivers. The people at Toshiba will never update their Intel customized HD graphics drivers, leaving Toshiba owners up the river without any Intel HD graphics drivers. HAPPY GAMING! AT 8K, 4K, or ANY K on a Toshiba laptop with Intel HD graphics!

Easy fix: Uninstall the Tosh drivers and install the drivers from the manufacturer.
The greater issue here is gaming on Intel graphics, it has come a long way, but they are still behind everyone else, and are really only meant for casual games.

Toshiba Is the OEM! Toshiba is Responsable for updating the drivers. Toshiba never updates the drivers, How Are you going to uninstall the drivers, Windows will let you roll back the drivers, but you can not uninstall the graphics drivers. Roll back to the previous Toshiba drivers that will not work with your game beacuse now your drivers are even more out of date than before! That is if Toshiba ever updated the drivers to begin with!

 

[Guest]

Toshiba is the Original equipment manufacturer of the Laptop! Intel is the OEM of the processor, however Intel has allowed the laptop Original equipment manufacturer (Toshiba) to customize the Intel HD graphics drivers to suit the Toshiba specs. When this happens Intel cannot Update the drivers That Have Been Modded by Toshiba! The Intel Graphics driver website will inform you of this when you try to update the Toshiba Modded graphics drivers with the Intel genaric graphics drivers from the Intel update website. Little pink Pigs will sprout wings and fly, before Toshiba will update the HD graphics drivers

If the hardware uses 4 independent display inputs like QFHD to plaster the image then this would be workable on today's PC's. All you would need is one or two video cards with four 1080p outputs - something that's a lot more easy to do now than it was when QFHD displays first appeared around 6 years ago.

Maybe Haswell will support 8k an beyond, I know one thing Intel had well better take control of their HD graphics driver software, and not let the cheepo laptop Original equipment manufacturers ruin their allready tarnished GPU Image in the eyes of even the casual gamer!

If Blu Ray becomes cheaper somehow because of this, I support it. I may not actually buy 4K or 8K.

 

[artemisclydefrog]

>60hz
would not bang

 

[Guest]

$500 per year for the power draw alone possibly?

 

[jryan388]

@sanirudh There's no way bluray could ever support this. Bluray was made for 1080p. This is 16x the number of pixels. You'd need a full terabyte hdd for this.

No plasma tv needs a backlight

 

[bin1127]

If internet media streamed at 8k my monthly usage would be gone with a 30 second video.

 

[Horhe]

You could use this TV as a room heater.

 

[sailfish]

The super-sized TV is the world's first self-illuminating Super Hi-Vision TV, meaning it doesn't require a backlight to light up your entertainment.

Surely, it means more than that. It's a plasma display which don't normally require backlighting. That's mostly a LCD display shortcoming.

 

[stevenrix]

Requires 2 PSU's, Hamster to draw electricity not included.

 

[dreadlokz]

I will take the 145" 4K 240Hz! Ty
They should stop using midgets! The TV is not THAT big... for sure bigger then any other tv... but in the picture looks like the size of a wall -.-'
Also the peacock don't want to get laid and they can't show the colors of the screen HA HA

[citation][nom]Melchior[/nom]Why is 8K not 8192x4320, but rather 7680x4320? 4K was double the dimensions of 2K, why is 8K not double the dimensions of 4K?[/citation]
2k would be 1920X1080
multiply by 2
4k would be 3840X2160
multiply by 2
8k would be 7680X4320
