8K is not yet widespread: 16K TVs are on the road

Are you exposed to 8K?

Frankly speaking, although 4K TVs have flooded the market, there are still a considerable number of families using 1080P TVs, and at the same time, 4K monitors, 4K mobile phones, etc. are still rare in the market.

However, manufacturers have now begun to promote the 8K concept tirelessly, according to the Samsung plan of selling the most TVs every year, hoping to sell more 8K TVs than 4K OLED in 2022.

Of course, 8K is not the end of picture quality, in fact, 16K is also on the way.

The standard resolution of 16K is defined as 15360 x 8640, which is 16 times that of 4K and 8 times that of 8K. In fact, as early as 2019, Sony demonstrated its 16K Crystal LED screen technology, which achieved 1000 nits, 120Hz refresh rate, 10bit color depth, etc., but because it was for the service of the super screen, the price was as high as 5 million US dollars.

Although 16K is inevitable from the perspective of the industry's technological progress, some TV enthusiasts have questioned that 16K TV is a pseudo-concept for home users, because as the resolution increases, it means that you need closer viewing distance to appreciate the resolution advantage.

At present, 16K is far from the industrialization stage, after all, 4K was born as early as 2012, and it took almost 10 years to popularize it, and it only took the absolute upper hand in the field of television.
