Sharp Demos World’s First 85-inch 8K4K Display

Igot1forya :
Finally, this would help bump the resolution of desktop monitors who have been held back by TVs and their restrictive standards.



um no... you are just wrong...
we can use tvs as monitors, so thats what most are made to be, a tv/monitor.
i got a 1920x1200 with a tv tuner, and if you want you can get a 2560x1600, but thay cost allot.

the fact is that single cards struggle at 2560x1600, and even if they can play it, its at lesser graphical settings.

you wont see a jump from 1080p to anything higher until mid range cards can handle the higher resolution, at least on basic levels.

He is strictly talking about resolution, not about playing graphical games. HDTV's dont go over 1080p. Computer monitors can only go 1 bump up to 2560x1600. If HDTV content cant go higher then 1080p, then there is no real reason do release 2560x1600 or higher resolution video. Most of todays low end discreet cards can play 1080p video content without a hiccup, so processing 1600p or higher video shouldnt be a problem on a new comp system/video card.

I think he meant by 2020 Japan only, we have to wait another 2020 years to see this outside japan.

This is epic. It's not about usability now. It's not about how many people are still no SDTV vs. 1080p. It's about pushing the envelope of technology further - and Sharp did it successfully, though they had to improvise.

I hope to buy a set in 2020 at 4320p

[citation][nom]remainz[/nom]Hollywood already shoots in 8k. This is basically what we get in the cinema today ,but in the home by 2020.Imagine what cinema will be like in 2020?I believe this technology will become mainstream before that for true 4k 3D at home, so we can watch all those rubbish Imax movies.Its all about making us want crap we dont need![/citation]
Then why does the movie theater play at like SD resolutions at 24fps? I want FULL resolution in the theater!

This is useless for a TV at 85". I'm in if the TV is 150" or 200". What we really need this for is our 30" monitors. I sit less than 3' from mine and I'm certain that having 200dpi would help reduce eye strain. Those of you who say that cards can't keep up must be talking 3D. Don't forget that you spend a lot more time looking at 2D web pages which won't cause even the slowest card to break a sweat. Crisp fonts with no jagged edges and no need for blur enduing anti-aliasing. Not to mention, imagine the spreadsheet! For the love of god can see clear from column A to ZZ all in one screen.

For 3D you can a resolution that is a factor of the 8k display and it will look at good as your current 30" 25dpi piece of crap monitor does today until 3d acceleration catches up.

[citation][nom]mediaslave[/nom]Its ridiculous. The high def TV shows look awful, cause people are bloody ugly. Why the hell do I want to see Tom Cruise's zits at a retarded resolution? So I can see which ones are ready to pop?Its a waste of money. Its a parallel to the megapixel race in cameras. Its not the resolution that matters, its the quality of the image. WOrk on making everything look amazing, then worry about higher res.[/citation]
Good morning dude. Somebody pee in your coffee?

eh...
old SD TV's were excessively low resolution.
Today's HDTV's are just right.
Higher resolutions don't seem to make much sense unless you have a monster TV.
Like 85" for example....
The human eye can only see so much detail until you need to sit closer or the size of the picutre needs to be bigger.

Does the whole 'it has to be a huge TV' really need to be said? Look around at small LCDs, how many 15" LCD TVs support anything above 720p?

Bestbuy.com has 46 TVs listed at under 20", only two of them go beyond 720p, or about 4%.
For 21-39", it is about half.
For 40"+ it is about 95%

I'm pretty sure they've already figured out that small TVs don't need 1080i or 1080p, that mid-size TVs can have it or not have it and that larger TVs NEED it.

Hollywood does not shoot in 8k. They shoot:

35mm film - DI scanned at 2k or 4k
Panavision Genesis - 2k
Arri Alexa - 2k
RED One/Epic - 4k/5k
Sony CineAlta - 2k
Thomson Viper - 2k

On rare occasion, films have been or will shoot 65 or 70mm, which is sometimes scanned at 6-8k (usually for restorations). This can be printed back to 65/70mm for projection using a film projector, but there aren't too many 70mm projectors around anymore. Any movie you see projected digitally at the theater is only going to be 4k if using the newest generation projectors, but likely to be the older and more common 2k ones. So where is the 8k of which you speak?

so this is what those rich guys use as a monitor for their xfired 6990's
