Emanuel Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 ...is coming: https://www.techradar.com/news/the-best-8k-tvs-spotted-at-ifa-2018 Hard to believe they will release the next GH series toy going on 8K parade: http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/19798/panasonic-gh6-first-rumors#Item_1 On the other hand, they will quickly need it or how do they sell such display sets? (Samsung will have them in my domestic market until this Christmas in-between 65"-85") Ready for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Yeah it seems whenever there is a bump in TV resolution, there’s a bump in consumer/prosumer video camera resolution... maybe Samsung will be releasing a new camera. 8K TVs with 720p broadcasting... lol.

Shirozina Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 To generate a clean 8k picture it will likely need to be downsampled from 12k capture.... On the other hand HD upscaled to 4k looks better than HD on an HD screen to me so maybe an 8k screen is the ideal display to get the best 4k image?????

newfoundmass Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 This is dumb, there is no demand other than the demand they're trying to create for 8k. Heck most content I watch on my 55 inch 4K TV is still only available in 1080. The only 4K I do watch is the occasional movie when it's available. I feel like, based on the standard TV size most people have, that there's a diminishing return on higher resolution video anyway. How much better does 4K look on a 42 inch TV compared to 1080? And can most people, especially sitting 15 feet away, tell the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhessel Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Ridiculous marketing ploy, 8k is utterly useless in a home tv. newfoundmass and Kisaha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless anyone has a wife planning on a 200 inch TV for decoration? No? I thought not! 8 minutes ago, newfoundmass said: This is dumb, there is no demand other than the demand they're trying to create for 8k. People are dumb. They see a higher number and think it's better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PannySVHS Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 The rumor stats at personal view are gruesome. Hope they are false. Why a GH6 rumor anyway? Why at personal view? Where is the GH3 hack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majoraxis Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 8k would be nice on a 100" screen if you are 8 ft away in your living room. If you are 16ft away a 4k 100" screen will do just as well as an 8k screen. Seems to me resolution is not what makes a great image alone, but all other things being equal shooting at 4k vs HD is beneficial. Now, the way I edit, I pan and zoom to reframe in post so I can't really deliver HD if I shoot in HD, I have to shoot higher than HD to deliver HD. Given the choice I will shoot 4k. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowbro Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I would take a 1080p scanning laser projector (if they made a big consumer one) over a 4k/8k projector. I guess they dont make a consumer one bigger than an iPhone for safety reasons? Some movie theaters have them and they are gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to replace my 1080p plasma when it died and replaced it with a 4k led. So much worse for motion and color. And I never view 4K content on it.

I got an lg 65 4k oled and it is extremely good. I just really want the same quality of an image at 150", that's dreaming right now haha. The micro led technology looks good for the future, modular screens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirozina Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Just writing this on a UHD laptop screen and I'm thinking if it was extended in size to 8k/32" it would look very nice indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfoundmass Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I had a 65 inch and it was way too big. Nearly took up my entire wall! I don't think I'd have a place to put a 150 inch TV! 2 hours ago, Shirozina said: Just writing this on a UHD laptop screen and I'm thinking if it was extended in size to 8k/32" it would look very nice indeed! I don't think you'd even notice the difference between 4K and 8K at 32 inches would you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a 32" TV the other side of the room no but as a PC monitor I sit close to then yes I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
