Samsung TVs Get First 8K HDMI 2.1 Certification

Samsung TVs Get First 8K HDMI 2.1 Certification

I agree it is a little far fetched (8K), but Samsung certainly is pushing it. Samsung Electronics has received the industry's first 8K HDMI 2.1 video standard certification for its 2019 and 2020 TVs.

HDMI Specification 2.1 is the most recent update of the HDMI specification and supports a range of higher video resolutions and refresh rates including 8K60 and 4K120, and resolutions up to 10K. Dynamic HDR formats are also supported, and bandwidth capability is increased up to 48Gbps.

Supporting the 48Gbps bandwidth is the new Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable. The cable ensures ultra high-bandwidth dependent features are delivered including uncompressed 8K video with HDR. It features exceptionally low EMI (electro-magnetic interference) which reduces interference with nearby wireless devices. The cable is backwards compatible and can be used with the existing installed base of HDMI devices.

HDMI 2.1 is certified by the HDMI Authorized Test Center (ATC), which has been officially recognized by the HDMI Licensing Administrator, Inc.

Very cool, but something tells me consumers will be entirely uninterested in this tech, and only ubiquity will get them in mass doors if we are talking non-VR. But yeah this is the beginning of what VR will bring in time.

4K gaming isn't leaving anytime soon as a target render. 4K per eye target renders in VR will be bound loosely for a decade or more as we strive for photorealism and not more resolution. I think once you hit 4K per eye in VR you are good, and that might entail something like an 8K screen similar to how PSVR does it with one screen. I definitely see that happening.

Film rarely goes beyond 4K in detail except for newer digital standards, and nobody will care anyway. UHD will be the last major physical format for film, and the only one we really need.

I just can't see myself wanting to upscale most content I have to 8K even in 5 years maybe ten. The new consoles will be 6 or so years and 4K will be the target they probably won't hit 60FPS with all the bells and whistles.

Mostly, it is VR that will need 8K.

VR still need to tackling with motion-sickness... latest VR already improve much yet many people cant comfortably using VR after within an hour, and resolution isnt the one solve the motion-sickness

for 8K : https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/8k-tv-everything-you-need-to-know/
while its true, for gaming, it will take years before true-8k resolution become common in gaming
but other than gaming, the content will grow fast enough imo

why u think 4k will be the end for film format ? like simply because our eyes cant see any different more than 4k ?
now 1080p vs 4k, do it have different quality ? some people might say same quality, while other can really see the different
but when 8k common, do people prefer getting old 4k ? i dont think so

as the tech grow, movie maker always want to shoot at higher-resolution, as its future-proof (when remastering) and easier manipulate
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8K-resolution : "Despite this, filmmakers are pushing demand for 8K cameras due to their ability to capture better 4K footage."

with the content grow, 8k eventually replacing 4k that for sure
the point is how long it would take ? so for now indeed getting 8k tv now is kinda pointless

sorry but lol.
8K is useless, UNLESS you're either below 3ft distance to the tv, OR it has to be bigger screen than 85in.
anything less and you won't see any difference just because the screen is too small (at tv viewing distance).
part why i laugh everytime i see the stupid 65in samsung in 8k, were not one customer (last 10 month) could tell any difference
to the model in 4k until they were like 2 or 3 ft away.
But hey, at least they have the first... o_O


and content: its easier to upscale 4k to 8k, than it is to do SD to 4k, soooo yeah.

and its nice to see again post were someone decides what "we" need or dont need.
just because i dont own a 20 million $ mansion, a 200 million $ superyacht, doesnt mean im gonna say we wont need those.

we didnt get to big screens today, because everyone was happy with a 15in tube tv. :D
if you dont want one, great, doesnt mean thats the case for the whole planet.

While there might not be a current urge for 8K, there certainly is for 4K120, I’ve been waiting years for Hdmi 2.1 to get released so we can play in 4K120 on the tv :) Now Geforce 3080 series need to come with Hdmi 2.1 and I’ll be real happy :)

The value in 8k to me is that they cant so casually half ass the hdmi 2.x specs like they did with 4k. think any 8k tv and with a 2.1 cable should be able to do 4k@120.

What do you mean 'far fectched'?
Definition of far-fetched

1 : brought from a remote time or place
2 : not easily or naturally deduced or introduced : improbable a far-fetched story

Not trying to be a pedantic boor, but that isn't the right term. I think you mean something more akin to overkill or excessive. ;) For me, I'd really like a quality 120hz 4K with both DP and HDMI 2.1.
