8K TV is getting hot, is it necessary for ordinary consumers to buy it?

4K TV, UHD TV, I believe that domestic consumers are more understanding, because now just go to the mall to consult the purchase of television, sales staff will spare no effort to recommend 4K TV or ultra high-definition television to us.

4K TV has gradually become the standard configuration of color TVs, but TV manufacturers are not satisfied. In the recent period, the 8K television technology, which has been upgraded to a higher level, has been hotter in the home appliance industry, from the 8K panel to the 8K image in the future.

In general, the resolution of 8K Ultra HD (7680×4320) is 16 times larger than the resolution of 1920×1080 of Full HD, so this kind of TV sets, two put together, the human eye can not tell which one is clearer.

When the time comes, if consumers want to buy 8K TVs, there may be only two ways. One is to look at the manufacturer's appraisal. The other is whether the counter salesman tells you which is clearer.

In the world's color TV companies, it is Sharp Corporation that took 8K LCD TV prototypes earlier. Sharp has now been acquired by Foxconn. However, Sharp's 8K TV technology is still considered more avant-garde.

Because, even if Sharp's financial performance and company performance have historically declined sharply in these years, Sharp is still worth noting in the research and development of 8K TV. Sharp TV's consistent technical approach is to use four-color technology, based on the three primary colors of red, green and blue, and then add yellow elements, so that the television screen color more tension.

In the Chinese market, Sharp has also marketed and sold televisions with 8K resolution, but because of the extremely low number of 8K signals, Sharp has developed an "X8-MEP" engine. One of the main functions of this engine is to enhance non-through software algorithms. 8K signal clarity to match high resolution 8K panels.

We can see from Sharp's compromise that 8K TV is really good, but the problem is that there is no equivalent content. As we all know, although the current domestic 4K TV has become a popular trend, many families still buy high-definition TV programs. 4K programs are not particularly so.

In addition to Sharp, Hisense is an 8K supporter. Earlier this year, Hisense demonstrated the 8K smart TV at the CES2016 International Consumer Electronics Show. At the end of March this year, Hisense also released this product in China.

According to previous estimates by industry survey agencies, by 2020, the content of 4K TV programs will be significantly improved. The previous generation of 4K is still not enough to eat, let alone 8K TV? Ordinary consumers buy an 8K TV. From the day of purchase, they may not have the opportunity to see the day when 8K sources are enriched.

However, the data of another consulting firm, IHS, is rather optimistic. By 2019, the number of 8K TVs sold globally will reach 1.4 million units. With the promotion of the Tokyo Olympics, this figure will increase to 2.1 million units by 2020. Japan NHK TV station will achieve 8K Olympics live broadcast.

However, some analysts believe that in the 4K TV, 40 inches is the lower limit, but 8K, I am afraid that 80 inches is only the starting line, the size of the average family is too large, the elevator can not be installed, can only use crane lifting.

A research institute pointed out that most IC design companies currently lack native SOC (system-on-a-chip) to support 8K panels, and can only use the existing 4K SOC, and another way to upgrade the transmission signal to 8K with MEMC as a solution.

Whether 8K content can keep pace with hardware development is the key to the popularity of 8K TVs. In order to welcome the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, Japan has already tried to produce 8K on NHK TV. However, there seems to be no corresponding signal and content broadcast in other regions of the world. Therefore, whether 8K panels can become the new main force for panel makers to sprint revenue and capacity reduction remains to be seen.

Smart TV/box information can focus on smart TV information network sofa butler (http://), China's influential TV box and smart TV website, providing information, communication, TV boxes, smart TVs, smart TV software, etc. Answering questions.
