Many of us have probably just got 4K TVs, some manufacturers like Samsung have already started to release 8K TVs, we have seen a number of models from them this year.
The 8K Association has now confirmed the performance specifications for the new 8K TVs, the resolution is basically double that of current 4K TVs.
8K refers to the latest and highest-resolution standard for content creation, distribution and television displays that enables over 33 million pixels of resolution, which is 4 times sharper than the UHD / 4K standard. The new 8K TV specification now defined by the 8K Association includes recommended performance levels for High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Color performance along with interface requirements to help ensure consumers have confidence in their newly purchased 8K TVs. A compliance test set will be developed next by 8K Association members, thus enabling a transparent testing process. The 8KA plans to promote a logo on any member’s 8K TV that meets or exceeds the newly defined technical standard.
