Do we really need 8K TVs?
Do we really need 8K TVs?
Author: Jamie Carter
First 8K TV now available.
And this is just the beginning.
Sharp’s Aquos LC-70X500E is the first 8K TV to be sold in Europe and worldwide. This happened at the end of April 2018. Its cost is €11,990 ($14,732).
An 80-inch version of the LC-80XU30 was sold in Japan three years ago, but it was a one-time sale and was not available to the general public. The arrival of the production model in retail marks nothing less than the beginning of the 8K era.
The LC-70X500E was presented at the recent IFA international conference in Rome. The debut location was not chosen by chance – it is expected that at the IFA 2018 exhibition, which will be held in Berlin at the end of August, all other manufacturers will present their 8K TV models.
But wait. 8K? What about 4K? Shouldn’t 4K be the ultimate and greatest advancement in TVs? Why are we obsessed with 7680×4320 pixel TVs? Do we really need 8K TVs?
Mass production of 8K TVs expected in 2018
8K content is almost non-existent, but we look forward to every major brand offering 8K TVs to the market.
“Will other TV brands be able to resist the temptation to offer a premium 8K TV? Of course they won’t,” said Paul Grey, IHS director of research and analysis, speaking at the IFA international conference.
8K TVs showcased at CES 2018, including Samsung Q9S 8K QLED 85-inch panel, Sony 85-inch TV and LG 88-inch OLED TV. All three models were shown as prototypes.
But these TVs are just a snack. Increasing interest in ultra-thin “wallpaper TV” (wallpaper TV).
“People want big screens in their homes,” said Sascha Lange, Sharp’s vice president of marketing and sales. He believes that the only limit to the size of a TV is the resolution, hence this paves the way for 8K. “The pixel density of a 64-inch 4K TV is exactly the same as a 32-inch Full HD TV,” he said. “And a 120″ 8K TV has the same pixel density as a 32″ Full HD TV.”
This is a big concept, and technologies like Samsung The Wall will allow broadcasters to capture and display, say, an entire football field.
Then you would sit at home next to your 150-inch 8K TV and turn your head from side to side to see what is happening on the field, just like if you were in a stadium.
“Now even a 70-inch screen doesn’t fill the wall in the house,” says Lange. “People want big screens, they have the space, and now they’ve got the technology.”
Samsung The Wall
How big do we need TVs?
The highest demand for better screens and larger displays is in China, where the average household TV is 54 inches. In the USA it is 50 inches, in Europe it is 49 inches, and in Japan it is only 40 inches.
In fact, 55-59-inch TVs are the biggest sellers in Europe right now – the sector has grown by almost a quarter in the last year.
IHS Markit predicts that 8K displays will account for only about 1% of the 60-inch or larger display market in 2018. But by 2020, they will already reach a whopping 9%. This is a huge part of the TV market and it’s very beneficial for everyone.
8K is money.
TVs 70 inches or larger now represent only 0.4% of the European TV market. But if you have the desire and ability, what would you buy?
“A Sharp 8K TV and a 77-inch OLED TV cost about the same,” says Paul Gray, who is unsure about the new TV’s commercial future as a mainstream product. “People will buy 8K TVs as gaming monitors, as 4K split screen monitors, as interactive whiteboards, but as HDTVs, maybe not. The 8K TV is a hybrid consumer product.”
So how big does an 8K TV need to be?
“If the 40″ TV panel was the starting point for 4K, then the 80” version should be the starting point for 8K, says Gray. This suggests that the LC-70X500E model falls a little short of the intended level. “But there are other reasons to have a 65-inch 8K screen at home, such as the readability of Chinese characters and the fact that smart TVs are just as important for graphics as they are for video.”
Frame rate issue with 8K TVs
Video is a series of images or frames that move quickly across a screen.
The more such changes per second, the smoother the image. This rate is expressed in frames per second (fps), and there is no international frame rate standard, so PAL and SECAM (Europe and China) are different from NTSC (North America and Japan).
Sharp’s new 8K TV can display at a maximum of 50/60 frames per second (for PAL/NTSC), but this technology is largely applicable to 4K picture quality evaluation.
“If you double the resolution, you should double the frame rate,” Gray says. “Otherwise you’ll end up with a blur that’s recorded very accurately!”
So just like we went from 24/25 fps for HD to 50/60 fps for Ultra HD 4K, we have to go to 100/120 fps for 8K.
“Broadcasters are absolutely ready for this, because the clarity of movement on the screen is the most important thing,” says Gray. Simply put, watching 8K video without 100/120 fps is pointless.
Unfortunately, there is no way to set a high frame rate on any TV. Even the new HDMI 2.
1 standard will not help, although it will support 8K resolution.
Thus, the LC-70X500E has eight HDMI ports, four of which must be used simultaneously to receive an 8K signal. The world’s first 8K camcorder Sharp 8C-B60A can capture 8K content at 60 frames per second and can connect to LC-70X500E.
Sharp also promises that 8K still images can be viewed on a TV from a USB flash drive or hard drive. The LC-70X500E also allows you to upscale a 4K image to 8K. However, if you want to watch live TV in true 8K, you will need to move to Japan and tune in to NHK satellite TV in 8K resolution.
8K can improve 360 and VR and change the way we watch TV
“The application that is in dire need of even more resolution is virtual reality. Because a VR headset will only provide maximum immersiveness when you are completely spared from having to contemplate the pixel structure of the image, ”says Gray.
Broadcasters could use high definition (Ultra HD) to offer the viewer an entirely new and immersive way to watch TV by shooting in 8K and zooming in on certain areas of the picture.
“360 in 4K is a great opportunity to watch short episodes of content, especially live where you want to be immersed, like at the Olympics,” Gray says. “You can scroll and zoom with the remote control, using the periscope function, for example, to get a 360 view of the stadium.” These viewing options require 8K image capture.
8K TVs may seem pointless to some, but 8K will help sell large screen TVs that are becoming more and more popular. 8K resolution will emerge as the new format for creative image capture, it will likely rejuvenate VR, and could completely change the way we watch TV.

what to choose for home theater? [translation] • Stereo.ru
Does it make sense to buy a projector if big TVs have fallen in price? If you are thinking of organizing a personal home theater, most likely you are faced with a choice between a large TV and a projector. On the one hand, projectors have become much brighter and more affordable in recent years, and on the other hand, TVs have become larger, sharper and brighter thanks to 4K and HDR.
In fact, both solutions have their pros and cons, but there are situations when one of these two options is clearly preferable. To make it easier for you to decide, we have compiled a comparative guide with a description of the differences.
How much does the final result depend on the amount laid out? We all want to find something cheaper, but without sacrificing quality. When we talk about home theater, picture quality and screen size are directly related to price. All points indicated in the article take this circumstance into account.
Size
TVs once weren’t even close to projection systems in terms of screen size, but today you can buy an 85-inch TV for less than $4,000. However, a projection screen with a diagonal of about 120 inches costs much less, and the projector itself will cost about $1,500. Here, by the way, we are talking about a projector with 4K support, as well as high brightness and high-quality color reproduction.
Thus, a projector with a screen is better suited for a truly large recreation center, and such a solution will cost less.
Winner: projectors
Brightness
The brightness of a projector is very important: this parameter affects the quality of the picture, which varies depending on the light in the room. The lighter the room, the brighter the source must be to provide a rich image. A projector with a high level of brightness is significantly more expensive. Most models in the price range around $2,000, for example, are capable of delivering 1,500 to 3,000 lumens of brightness (the final image on the screen, of course, is not that bright). If we talk about TVs, then the brightness of most LED panels easily reaches these and much higher values. In order for a projector with a screen to at least slightly approach the brightness level of a budget TV, you need to try. Don’t forget projector lamps. Over time, the lamps lose their properties and require expensive replacement.
On the other hand, if you install the projector in a dark room, even a weak light output will provide a pretty good image.
This picture can be viewed without tension. As a rule, the eyes get tired from the projection screen much less than from watching TV. However, most viewers need a bright, juicy picture in any light level, so TVs definitely win here.
Winner: TVs
Contrast
Contrast depends on black depth and overall brightness. While the brightness of a projector depends on its components, the black level is more determined by the light in the room – the darker the room, the better. Of course, the TV can also suffer from backlighting, but the contrast of the TV panel can be adjusted properly. In this case, the projectors have no chance.
Winner: TVs
Resolution
Premium 4K TVs with wide color gamut and HDR support are expensive. Prices for 4K projectors corresponding to them are cosmically high! It’s easier to buy a decent 4K/HDR TV and pair it with a UHD Blu-ray player or audio system than it is to splurge on a single high-end projector.
Yes, there are good budget 4K projectors out there, but they’re nowhere near comparable-priced TVs. In general, HDTVs are much cheaper.
Winner: TVs
Color reproduction
You don’t have to sell a kidney to get good color reproduction from a projector: you can get the right colors for a reasonable price. As for TVs, everything is more complicated here: for correct color reproduction, accurate processor processing is required, which, accordingly, is reflected in the price. Expensive top-end 4K panels have a wider color gamut than projectors for the same money. However, projectors are not that far off. HDR TVs are especially good at rendering color, but HDR projectors are also becoming quite common.
There is no single solution here. If you can get a good projector and set up a room for it, you will get a large screen with excellent color reproduction, but a similarly priced TV does not require a special room. Draw.
Winner: draw
Installation
In short, the TV set is easier to install.
A large TV is heavier and more fragile, but it’s not that hard to install either. In addition, the TV benefits from its versatility: almost any AV device can be connected to a modern TV panel, and the entire system can be controlled from one TV remote control. Wall mounting a TV is relatively complicated, but even without the help of a specialist, it is possible to cope with the task. If you call the installer, it will be even easier and faster.
Projectors are much more difficult. First, you need to decide on a screen: this role can be a wall with a special coating, a fixed projection screen, or a motorized system that mounts to the ceiling or wall. In any case, you will need a lot of free space. Secondly, you need to find a place for the projector itself. It’s not as easy as it looks (the projector must be installed correctly). Most likely, you will have to hire specialists. Otherwise, you need to seriously study the entire installation process yourself.
Among other things, do not forget about the wires.
Any projector will need to run an HDMI cable. Although it is possible to use wireless transmitters, this solution will increase the cost of the project. If you are going to use multiple devices as sources (game console, Blu-ray player, set-top box), then you will need an AV receiver or video switcher, the cable from which will go to the projector.
Short throw projectors have become popular in recent years and can be placed directly in front of the screen on a table or even on the floor. Such a projector will simplify the installation process, but with TVs it is still easier.
What is the result? If you are not going to wall mount the TV, but simply put the panel on the cabinet, then the TV wins.
Winner: TVs
Sound Quality
TVs always have built-in speakers (sometimes they sound pretty good). Speakers are also built into modern projectors, but they are small and stupid. And if you consider that the projector, as a rule, is located at the top and behind, then it is impossible to get a sane sound from it.
However, neither the TV nor the projector is capable of delivering cinema-quality sound. For high-quality audio, you need a separate system with speakers and a subwoofer, or at least a soundbar. Most TVs produce normal sound, but still their purpose is video, not audio. A good recreation center should have a specialized audio system.
If we compare the TV and the projector head-on, then the TV, of course, wins. The projector simply needs an external audio system, and a quality TV panel will cope with the sound transmission at a basic level.
Winner: TVs
Convenience
Obviously TVs are easier to use. They do not need constant adjustment, protection from ambient light and shadows, and do not require lamp replacement. In addition, today almost all TVs are equipped with wide functionality with access to streaming services and applications.
Such solutions are rare among projectors. There are more and more simple, compact projectors (including portable ones) on the market, but they all require installer skills.
