If you think 4K still has a content
problem, you'll probably want to give
Sharp's latest display a miss. That also
applies to anyone without ¥16 million
($133,000) to blow, because that's
how much you'll need for what is technically the world's first
production 8K TV, the LV-85001.
Technically, because although this
85-inch monitor does have a TV tuner
inside, it won't pick up any 8K content
yet — though it may be used to help with broadcast tests next year. Instead, Sharp is positioning the
panel as a monitor for businesses that
can make use of the ultra-high
resolution. 8K is 7680 x 4320, which
works out to 104 pixels per inch at
the 85-inch size; actual 8K output requires the use of four HDMI 2.0
inputs. Sharp says the IGZO panel's
contrast ratio is 100,000:1 with
viewing angles of 176 degrees. It'll be
available to business customers from
October 31st, following a demonstration at the CEATEC trade
show early next month.
