Rumor has it: LG wants to release consumer 8K-tv next year
It is rumored that LG is about to release an 8K-tv (Super Ultra HD) next year already. Next month on CES they would already show a prototype 55" model. While it is unknown what the precise features and specs will be we do know that the screen will get a 55" panel with a resolution of 7680x4320 pixels.
That's 33 million pixels on there, fur times the number of Ultra HD and in fact 16x the number of pixels of your Full HD screen. So that is a 160 ppi, 55-inch 8K display. LG woulds be opting a rgbw-layout meaning that next to the red, green and blue subpixels a white subpixel would be added as well. As a result the screen would get a 500 cd/m² brightness.
Puny Full HD TV ;)
By itself it is not the first time that a manufacturer puts an 8k Tv on display, in fact LG already had a 98" prototype version on display. But this is the first time it is a consumer sized 55 inch model.

christ, i wish they would just stop with the resolution spamming. Here in the UK, we get apallingly compressed SD stuff, hell, most stuff is not even converted to widescreen yet, let alone full HD via satellite. Lets make HD the standard for ALL channels first, then start thinking about 4k and 8k. Id rather they started focusing on higher framerates. Watching sport at 60fps would look miles better than the usual stuttery TV 24fps, even if its at 8k it still looks like **** with the stuttering,blurring when its moving.

you're a douche if u buy an 8k tv and spend the super high price when there is zero content. Anyone with a brain would wait some years for the prices of 8k to come down and for there to actually be content. No reason to rush and pay a higher price when there isn't even any content to watch on it.
Can probably get a 4k OLED tv for the same price as an 8k LCD

What if you buy one to use as a computer monitor (need new GPUs with support for 8K first, but should be fine next year)?

But I can hardly find a purpose for such device except for CAD presentation/collaboration panel.
Im pretty sure it could be well used for any presentation on any wall: shops / mall publicity ( luxury shops ), office reception, etc etc. As for home, no content available anyway.
Untill someone release an absolutely monstruous upscaling system for 1080p > 8K and 4K > 8K... ( I try to imagine how a simple DVD could look on it... maybe using a 180p video from youtube on a 1600p monitor is close )
