Sharp 8K4K TV, 7680x4320p resolution, 85", the future of HDTV

Sharp is demonstrating the most insane HDTV ever, at 8K4K, they recorded a bunch of demonstration videos, the quality is amazing. Here's a video interview with a product manager. They say that the sources for 8K4K content are missing, but we can all at least upscale our 20 Megapixel consumer photo camera pictures on there, and I think they should just tell Hollywood to transfer the 8K4K versions of all movies onto cheap soon to cost $50 2TB hard drives.

Not that fascinating at all. It's about 100ppi like the average laptop screen. It's the same technology, just bigger.

@R3AN1MAT10N Pixel Density may not be much more, but the picture resolution is 32 times larger than on your laptop as most laptops have a 720p screen or less. That is an insane upgrade. Basically you are seeing the whole 36 megapixel photo, all pixels are displayed there on the same screen, that's a gigantic difference from a zoomed-in 36 megapixel picture where you can only see one 32th of the picture and you have to pan around.

The cable for this has to be made from pure platinum or some special super-conducting material...

@2ndAct Regular HDMI 1.4 cables I think support up to 20Gbps which I think is more than enough. It's only a question of real-time compression and decompression technology.

This isn't really of any use at all, the human eye really wont see the difference anymore. Except of course if you want to sit 6 feet away from a HUGE ASS screen... which you probably wont :P

@kazaakas I work about 5 feet from my 42" 1080p HDTV, so a 55" I could be at upwards 10-12 feet to get the same angle of vision per pixel, and you need to see the screen at a trade show, sure enough it makes you want to get up close, the quality is insanely awesome.
