Japan Display annonces 17inch, 8K, IPS, True 120Hz display

[GoodBytes]

The Japanese company called Japan Display, a company that is a joint venture of Sony, Toshiba, and Hitachi form in 2012, as a R&D facility for LCD panel.

The company, announces a new panel that will make your nice fancy display look like 80's technology.

The new panel is a 17.3inch panel using low temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) to acheive a panel that has a resolution of 8K (7,680 x 4,320), and can operate at 120Hz.

The panel has a 500cd/m2 luminance, 2000:1 contrast ratio, and claims >176degree（CR>100:1） view angle.

The panel uses IPS technology.

 

Japan Display Inc. ("JDI") has announced the development of the world's first 17.3-inch high resolution (7,680(W) x RGB x 4,320(H) pixels), fast response (frame rate 120Hz) liquid crystal display (LCD) module, the same size as the standard monitor commonly used for the video image production.

The LCD module, based on low temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) technology with true 8K pixels (RGB stripe arrangement), realizes high definition (510ppi) images, and the 120Hz frame rate enables smooth playback of moving image. By providing wide viewing angle, high contrast and little color shift, the advantages of IPS technology enable reproduction of life-like 8K image with a sense of depth in image quality.

This next-generation 8K technology suits not only products*2 for video image production, but also medical monitors and gaming PC monitors which require, high resolution and depth in image quality, and many more.

Company says that you can see the panel at work at NHK/JEITA booth on October 7 - 10, 2015 during CEATEC JAPAN 2015 held at Makuhari Messe, Japan, in collaboration with NHK.

It is a good thing that Windows 10 is 8K display ready, so you definitely want that version of Windows if you want to be able to read the screen. So... how many will you buy? How many NVIDIA Pascal will you also add to your shopping cart as well?

So what display output are we supposed to use? I thought that display port 3 was going to be 8K 60fps max?

The bezels

Anything above 2560 * 1080 makes my eyes bleed.

I couldn't look at this thing for 6 seconds.

That's gonna be stupid expensive, and stupid hard to drive probably.

This would be great to edit my Red Epic Dragon footage on..........if I had one

Reading the title I was like "meh", then OMG!

[Misanthrope]

That bezel though

[JeffreyEagan]

Oh. My. GOD.

[dom1310df]

Sorry, just had to

[Ekpyrosis]

Wow, 8K is getting real. NHK has put a lot of effort into 8K so far and they have actually plans to start broadcasting in 8K. Meanwhile, TV is still 720p/1080i in Europe and NA and I haven't heard of a broadcasting company from the west that has any plans to up the resolution/bitrate. I can't wait to see Sony making an 8K phone, though.

I don't have Windows 10, so do you mean the display scaling finally works?

It's definitely better than W7, but it's not like W7 scaling wasn't usable in the first place, imo. 

[JAKEBAB]

Awesome!! This is what AMD has said is the perfect res for the human eye although I don't think they were talking about on a 17" display, maybe 24" or 27", anyway I'm so pumped for 8k, can't wait for 2020!!!

It worked, just it could have been better.

[Jerakl]

For what purpose

[Dabombinable]

How about display manufacturers let other technologies which are necessary for insane displays actually catch up.

will you pay their wages while they wait?

There are other ways to improve displays without going for insane resolutions......

That is because you guys set your Windows DPI to 100%, and not properly adapt it like your phone.

I have my DPI set to the point where a standard webpage fits on my 5in phone.
