Samsung's 8K Projector Can Produce 150-Inch Images

Image
With its larger screen and higher resolution, Samsung's newest projector may provide more than you require. Samsung unveiled The Premiere, an ultra-short throw projector with 8K resolution, at CES 2023 last week. It's a modernised version of the 2020's 4K Premiere, a solitary box made to fit on a small table underneath and a few inches away from your wall or screen. It can produce images up to 150 inches across using specialised lenses and video processing. A room may be fully illuminated and filled with sound thanks to built-in speakers and Dolby Atmos. It also offers Samsung's smart TV features, including Netflix, Disney Plus, and other services, as you might anticipate. Even while it sounds exciting to think that an 8K projector might create a big image on any wall, UST projectors aren't as magical as they first appear to be. Here is what we currently know. Although there aren't many 8K projectors available, the Premiere is one of them. Starting a

Why 8K Resolution Is Unnecessary for Gaming in 2023

Although 8K resolution may seem like the ultimate in gaming, neither the cost nor the effort are justified. This is why. In 2022, 8K resolution is expected to be supported by graphics cards, but is it worthwhile to play at that resolution? Even so, is there a discernible difference between 8K and 4K? You should probably think twice before playing at 8K because you might just be wasting money, as this will show. What Advantages Does 8K Resolution Offer? There are some benefits of 8K that are indisputable even if you can't tell it from 4K. The list is unfortunately quite short because adding more pixels can only help you so much. Crosshairs Are Better Centered in 8K Resolution There are enough pixels to evenly distribute them, so you won't need to worry if your crosshair is not in the center. Players in 1080p must typically use a crosshair that is at least two pixels wide. On a 1080p monitor, this crosshair might end up being quite large and block the heads of e

The best 8K TVs for 2023: from Samsung, LG and Sony

The best 8K TVs deliver incredible images because they have four times the pixels of 4K TVs—and 4K TVs have four times the pixels of 1080p HD TVs. A 1080p HD TV has a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, a 4K TV has a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels, and an 8K TV has an incredible 7,680 x 4,320 pixels. So, assuming your TV is large enough, the difference in picture quality over a 4K TV will be astounding. Until recently, adding those extra pixels to one of the best 8K TVs was prohibitively expensive. So, while some of the best TVs have been 8K, they have only been available to the wealthy. The great news. 1. Samsung QN900B Neo QLED 8K Thanks to its mini-LED panel, which offers stunning picture quality, exceptional color and brightness, great sound, and outstanding blacks—bonus points for the fact that it looks stunning when it's off too—the Samsung QN900B Neo QLED 8K TV raises the bar for home entertainment significantly. Since Samsung's "Quantum" Mini L

The 8K (UHD-2) resolution

Image
A short while ago, 4K (UHD = Ultra High Definition) resolution was regarded as the norm. Additionally, while 4K technology and content haven't truly reached "the public" yet, the successor 8K has already started to take shape. The following information about the 8K resolution is fascinating: What exactly is 8K? The successor to 4K (UHD) is 8K, which is described as UHD-2. There are roughly 8,000 horizontal columns in the 8K resolution. Or 7,680 x 4,320 pixels, which is four times as many pixels as 4K and sixteen times as many pixels as Full HD, dispersed over the corresponding display size in the traditional 16:9 format. This indicates that the display has 33.2 megapixels, or about 33.2 million pixels. Additionally, 8,192 by 4,320 pixels at a ratio of roughly 17:9 are referred as as 8K. However, this resolution barely applies to consumer electronics due to the somewhat peculiar page format. Where does 8K make sense today? Not just for early adopters in technolo

8K gaming monitors: here’s why you shouldn’t expect them in 2023

Image
A new series of gaming displays, led by Samsung's Odyssey Neo G9 2023, is finally bringing 8K to gaming monitors. At least, that's the direction Samsung is pursuing with this model. Why haven't we seen more 8K gaming monitors, though, given that 8K isn't new in and of itself and has been part of the public gaming consciousness for almost three years with GPUs and consoles? The next major gaming destination seems to be 8K as the era of next-gen displays begins to take shape. Don't believe the hoopla, though. There are a few significant reasons why 8K gaming won't take off very soon. What we have now There is now only one 8K monitor available for purchase, the outrageously expensive Dell UltraSharp UP3218K. It was released over six years ago, so it's also not really recent. This means that it is restricted to a 60Hz frame rate and lacks connectors like HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 2.1. It's odd that there hasn't been more advancement in 8K monito

What Is 8K? Should You Buy a New TV or Wait?

Image
Currently, 4K is the industry standard for television resolution, although 8K TVs are starting to appear. Does waiting for 8K make a difference in how much better it is? You may have owned a 4K TV since they first became available. Perhaps you just recently upgraded. Perhaps you're still watching TV in 1080p. Whatever the state of your screen right now, you've certainly heard about 8K, which will replace 4K. It represents the following significant improvement in TV resolution. New technologies are needed for the shift, just like for 4K. Here is all the information you require about 8K, including what it is, when it will arrive, and what it requires to function. The short version is that 8K TVs are available, but you shouldn't buy one right away. The Basics of 8K Simply put, 8K has a higher resolution than 4K. 1,920 by 1,080 pixels is the resolution of 1080p screens. The dimensions of 4K screens double to 3,840 by 2,160, with four times as many pixels. The numbers are

8K resolution

An image or display resolution with an approximate 8,000-pixel width is referred to as 8K resolution. The highest resolution permitted by the Rec. 709 standard is 8K UHD (7680 4320). The 2020 (UHDTV) standard. The 4K resolution was succeeded by the 8K display resolution. By 2017, 4K was to become the new standard, according to TV makers. The first 8K TVs were introduced at CES 2019. Given the lack of broadcasting resources, the viability of a quick transition to this new standard is in doubt. By 2023, with annual global sales of 11 million units, it is anticipated (2018 forecast by Strategy Analytics) that 8K-ready devices will still only represent 3% of UHD TVs. TV manufacturers are nevertheless upbeat because the 4K market expanded much faster than anticipated, with actual sales exceeding forecasts by almost six times in 2016. Internet speeds in 2013 restricted a transmission network's ability to transport HDTV definition, therefore it had to rely on satellite broadcast to
