First 8K TV

[Postmaster]

This TV is to large for my living room.
And how close do you have to sit to it, to benefit from 8k?

just saying...

So what you're saying is that it's too large and too small.

any good external monitors to pull focus at 8k resolution?

under $100 if possible

I heard lilliput is working on it. Think you have to flip it inside out though...

True. Plus, it'll take at least until 2030 until Orange-ray players have battled it out against Super-HD-DVD and then gone down in price enough to be affordable (same with the movies).

Delivery really is the big question. NHK is going to test it as a terrestrial broadcast format... doesn't that sound like Sooooo last century?

It's the same with audio when it comes to home theater setups.

At one point it stops being about how great the hi-fi is and starts being about the size and shape of the room.
I'm sure I can get further with my Yamaha reciever and 6.1 Audiopro speaker system that I purchased in 2003(!) if the size and shape of my living room is right and the system is calibrated properly, than a lot of people can get with their brand new systems if they have a small 1 room apartment and haven't calibrated (which most people don't do).

By 2020 this 8K TV will be a joke. Who knows what kind of break through will happen in all aspects of filming and displays.

Well, I mean to get 8k u really need 11k.......

Data rates limits are smashed ever few months. What ever they make in 2020 it won't be anything like we have now. Not the hardware or software.

They have just sent 26 Tera bits per second down a fiber optic line. Now imagine 9 years from now.

Well that, or they could just simply show regular 4k footage shot with Red and tell everyone it's 8k because honestly who would notice the difference?
