Other World's First 8K Ultra High Definition Display

More like Modern Warfare 17, on which a screen like this will be wasted

 

Oh come now, be sensible! We'll be lucky to have adopted 1080p industry-wide by the time MW17 comes about! What I had meant to say was that the industry would stagnate so badly up to that type of screen being on market that the only game which would graphically push it would be the likes of Crysis 3 - or the thousand-odd clones that will happen over the next thirty years. Which any way you chose to look at it is rather bleak...

 

BBC Click did a feature on 8k tv back in September. A concert by the Charlatans was broadcast to Japan in 8k. And for Japan to be able to watch it in real time a direct 350Mb/s connection was required, traditional satellite uplinks are nowhere near fast enough. Maybe if this starts being used for the worlds internet, everyone could stream this resolution

 

It would be nice if cinemas were 7680 x 4320
This resolution is a waste on less than about 4 meters wide... not that I'd mind a nice big multimedia room complete with a 4m tv

 

LOL

 

DAT 8k + Any total war game around on that time = Eyegasm

 

60hz ? really?

 

The preteen pron jokes are a little disturbing guys

7680 x 4320 @ 60hz would be smoother to watch than 3840 x 1920 @ 120hz, but although gaming response wouldn't be as good, who cares!

 

Who said anything about age?

 

My bad, I guess i've just been scared from all the pedo bear and prepubescent pron jokes I've been subjected to. [SIZE="-7"](because certain moderators who shall not be named were slack enough to allow them on their forum)[/SIZE]

 

Adult + Razor? That's the first thing I thought of. I think your reply says more about you than it does Bindi

 

Even after shaving, you can still easily see the hair on any decent mere 1920 x 1080 screen, so my first thought was "these guys are making jokes about really clean hair waxing right? right? "

 

Ultra HD -> Brazilian

OK, I see the connection.

 

Hey, I was talking about men's facial hair. I have no idea what you guys are on about.

 

Welcome to the Internet, partner.

 

Hmmm, the grass is always greener on the other side
In Germany HD is very limited (3 freeview channels and some testchannels + about 5 mainstream "pay-HD" channels) and mostly restricted to 720, which is again constructed out of upscaled 360.
1080i would be a step forward.

 

I though we were taking about this.

 

Saw a demo of 8k projection (and matching 22.2 channel sound) at IBC last year. They started off showing a PAL image, then 720p, then 1080p, 2k, 4k, then 8k. it was NOM. Many jaws dropped. (for reference, proper IMAX is 4k. This has 4x the resolution). We were sat fairly close to the (cinema sized) screen but it was still incredibly smooth and the detail was frankly astonishing.

The main benefit of something like this is for broadcasting events - they were demoing a realtime pan/scan HD downsampler, the idea being to set up a single 8k camera to cover the whole event, and then you have enough resolution to just do pan/scan on that image to follow the action, broadcasting a standard HD image.
