8K TV

Alongside its usual LCD and QLED offerings, Samsung has a new TV technology on show at CES 2018. MicroLED technology has enabled the creation of "The Wall", a modular 146-in "true" LED display that works like stadium scoreboards, but on a much smaller scale.

​LG Display is celebrating the start of a new year by announcing the world's first 8K OLED display that rocks 88 diagonal inches. The living room centerpiece of the near future will be shown at CES in Las Vegas next week.​

The HDMI Forum’s Technical Working Group has released the specs for HDMI 2.1, as well as a new Ultra High Speed HDMI cable. Some of the 2.1 spec’s features will be backward compatible with your existing HDMI 2.0 cable, others will require you to upgrade.

4K video is still bleeding into the mainstream, but Sharp is looking further ahead, trying to get the ball rolling on an 8K ecosystem. The centerpiece of that ecosystem will be the Aquos 8K Series, a range of TVs and displays launching this year that are 8K-ready and can upscale HD and 4K content.

​At CES this week, Dell unveiled a few nifty ideas, including the Canvas digital artist's workstation, a 32-inch monitor bursting with 8K resolution, a wirelessly chargeable 2-in-1, and a refresh of the company's other laptops, AIOs and monitors.

We've seen 8K panels before, but they tend to be pretty sizable affairs, clocking in at 85-inches or more. That's about to change with the development of a brand new monitor from Japan Display that packs a full 8K resolution into just 17.3 inches.

Sharp will soon start selling the first ever commercially available 8K TV in Japan. The panel, which offers a resolution 16 times that of Full HD, is aimed a professionals, and hits a sky high price point.
