While we and many fascinated Shogoars of CES 2019 were fascinated by LG and Samsung's new 8K tv show, we still can hear a collective sigh from technology fans all over the world I could do it. why? Why do I need 8K in the world, although 4K seems to be just a thing? Is this a "planned obsolete" scenario for TV? Did you try to force the upgrade before that? And what about the content? I can scarcely get to 4K, but do you expect 8K?
These are all fair questions, and we have the answer. This is the only thing you need to know about 8K, why is 4K TV in the near future?
What is 8K
If you use basic math, 8K may seem to provide twice the resolution of 4K, but that is not the case. Here we explain the two dimensions of horizontal and vertical lines, so in practice it is 16 times the pixels of HD and 4 times the pixels of 4K. The 8K resolution is 7680 x 4320, or 33 million pixels (33, 117, 600). Instead of 3840 x 2160 (8,294,400 pixels))). For ease of visualization, suppose you have four 4K televisions on a 4 x 4 grid. That is lot Pixel's.
Other technologies such as high dynamic range (HDR) can make more visible difference, especially from long distances, and can do because television makes brighter and more colorful paintings on HDR It is because it shows. However, 8K is absolutely noticeable, especially on large displays.
Easy history of 8K TV (far)
Like the 4K TV began to take off, 8K began to appear. Although the display panel was previously displayed, Sharp showed the first actual 8K television with CES 2013. It is impressive 85 inch model. Of course, this TV can not be purchased in that year (or a few years later). This is equivalent to regular price when using CES courses, especially state-of-the-art technology.
After that, even if content providers had trouble catching up with 4K, other companies began showing their own 8K television prototypes. In the latter half of that year, NHK took part in the 2016 Rio Olympics at 8 K and broadcasted, but viewers could only watch them at that special resolution at that resolution. .
When will the 8K TV be released?
Regardless of whether you are ready, 8K TV is here. Manufacturers who just debuted at CES 2019 are beginning to announce the release of the 8K model. Samsung has already adopted the 8K model in 2018, but announced the launch of the 2019 QLED television, including the 8K model Q 900 with sizes from 65 inches to 98 inches. LG announced that it will soon begin selling 8K resolution OLED and LED TV, although its price has not yet been announced. Sony 's 8K Z9G series will be available in 85 - inch and 98 - inch sizes, and TCL showed 8K Roku TV at CES, which is expected to be widely available this year - perhaps it is the most affordable The market will be on 8K TV at a price.
It seems that 8K television will stay in a place that most consumers can not reach this year, but since most major manufacturers are producing it, we can expect that the price will begin to decline rapidly. Just as the price of 4K fell sharply in just a couple of years, 8K pricing will follow it - perhaps even faster.
Sharp's first 8K television was released in Japan as "business use" in Japan in 1315 for 133,000 dollars. The fact that Samsung's new 65-inch model's price is only 3 percent of the price of its initial model, how fast things move in the television world, and how competitive the Samsung Q 900 really is for the first adopter There is one.
How about 8K contents?
Even a year ago, there were not so many 8K contents that I could see at home, even having an 8K TV, but that is changing slowly.
In November 2017, the video streaming site Vimeo added support for 8K and now there are more than 6,000 videos tagged as 8,000. YouTube embarked on the 8K band wagon faster than before, and it boasts too much 8K video - strangely its search filter just allows you to look for 4K as the highest resolution. NHK launched a test channel dedicated to the display of 8K content in December 2017, last year made the channel permanent. With appropriate equipment, Japanese consumers can now enjoy this (limited) 8K content at home. The Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020 will be a big showcase for 8K broadcasting in Japan at least, but we can not see how many games will be broadcast in that resolution in the US and Europe.
However, if you are watching the large screen size, the native 8K content is not the only reason to have 8K TV. 8K TV can upscale 4K contents to 8K, the difference in clarity is clear. To prove this point, Samsung arranged two 85 inch televisions side by side. One played 4K content with 4K and the other 4K contents expanded to 8K. The difference is obvious, and the 4K expanded video that was played on the 8K TV seemed to be superior in appearance. Samsung's latest 8K TV features a dedicated 8K processor with an artificial intelligence system designed to extend 4K content per frame in real time.
There is also an 8K camera, and you can be confident that you are preparing to offer 8K content someday, but please take a moment to see where the 4K content is now, as to how much you need to wait. . Streaming services such as Amazon, Netflix, Vudu etc. provide 4K streaming. There is a massive and ever-increasing collection of 4 KUHD Blu-ray discs, but there is still a long way to go before 4 K reaches everywhere in HD.
The ATSC 3.0 digital broadcasting standard will ultimately lead to 4K broadcasting via radio and cable and satellite providers, but this standard was approved by the FCC in November 2017. Technically, 8K is compatible with ATSC 3.0. Most cables, satellite broadcasts, and other content providers are simple bets that are focused on the development of programming for viewers aspiring to make the most of 4K television.
Thanks to the popularity of HDR, content providers are also focusing on increasing their HDR products.
Like the early days of HD and 4K, you already have 8K TV, but it will take a long time to become practical for most people. For most people, 4K TV has a sufficient life span.
