New Sharp 8K Display Will Be Available in Japan for $133,000

Sharp announced that it plans to offer an 85-inch Super Hi-Vision 8K display at the end of October for 16,000,000 yen (about $133,034). Designed for professional use, the LV-85001 is a monitor rather than a TV, but includes a tuner. “Coming in at 16 times the resolution of 1080p screens, the 7,680 x 4,320 pixel LCD panel uses Sharp’s IGZO technology,” notes Engadget. “To actually watch any 8K video, you’ll need to plug into all four of its HDMI inputs at once just to have enough bandwidth.” While the delivery of 8K video is likely a few years away, broadcasters can use Sharp’s new display to continue testing the technology.
