Forget 8K, Sony’s New 63-Foot 16K Crystal LED TV Is Now Available—for a Few Million
The ballpark figure is $5 million.

Courtesy of Sony When a new gogglebox drops, it’s always the same drill: The screen gets bigger, the resolution gets better and the design gets bolder. Indeed, it’s difficult for a brand to stand out. Unless you’re Sony and the new TV your peddling is the size of a New York City public bus and also happens to boasts an unheard-of 16K screen.
 
Earlier this year when Sony unveiled the colossal 63-foot TV—the biggest 16K screen of its kind—it had commercial cinemas in its sights. But, hey, why should theaters have all the fun? Yesterday, the Japanese tech titan announced the Crystal LED display system will be available for home installation.

The best part? The system utilizes modular technology which means it can accommodate virtually any desired size and resolution—from a 16-foot 4K to an epic 63-foot 16K. Of course, we opt for the latter which features four times as many horizontal pixels as a 4K television and eight times that of a high-def 1080p TV. Translation: It delivers a stunning picture to a gigantic space.

“Crystal LED delivers over a million-to-one contrast ratio, the most accurate light levels, low heat emission and a picture quality that is absolutely breathtaking. By offering the display in modular configurations, consumers now have an exciting new option for the transition from home projection systems and large-screen TVs,” said Mike Fasulo, president and chief operating officer at Sony North America.
The micro-LED technology works like OLED, but the modules—which each measure 16×18 inches in size at 360 x 360 resolution with three tiny LEDs per pixel—are much brighter, producing 1,000 nit of brightness even though they are half the width of a human hair. The screen also boasts a 99 percent black surface area to ensure high contrast and high resolution; blur-free images with high frame rates of up to 120p; and a nearly 180-degree viewing angle.
As you might expect, the setup is not cheap. Although Sony has not yet released pricing, each module reportedly costs approximately $10,000. That means the 4K unit (which has 72 modules) would sit at around $720,000, while the 16K screen (with 576 modules) might cost up to $5 million, according to Engadget. But think of the movie tickets you’ll save on having a cinema in your own home.

You're ignoring:
1. Cinemas
2. Modularity
Not really, assuming software used to produce animations is even capable of doing that, the cost is crazy, usually we get 1080p with backgrounds that don't have so much detail, otherwise a singe movie costs hundreds of millions because there is a human that had to prepare the models, or, as in case of 2D animation, will just draw the same images that won't gain too much by enlarging them. And what you watch has to be interesting, so there's that part of the cost also.

Time lapses are what I've seen published in 4k at first and I think they will be just behind porn on 16k too, there's already this:

The reliability of the QLC is pretty low.  We've had several of them overheat, and for the price, there are better options out there.  You might get your faster speeds for a limited time, but the constant downtime from dead or throttled drives is not worth it.  I'd rather have something more stable and reliable.  Granted there are many other drives I would choose, but these are the ones that were brought up as comparison.  There's a lot I'd take over a 660p.
 

for my bazillion dollar miencraft setup!

What is the song at the end? We want to know!
A fan made this edit, pretty good but where's the original??
 
https://m.soundcloud.com/uda_media/kaboom

Singed up just for this, need to know what song this is!

I want to know the house music version of the song you have in the video, as it is pretty hard to find.

QNAP Launches the Mustang-200 Computing Accelerator Card for Boosting NAS/PC computing power



 
Taipei, Taiwan, November 19, 2018 - QNAP® Systems, Inc. today launched the Mustang-200dual-CPU computing accelerator card with 10GbE network connectivity (available with Intel® Core™ i5 / Core™ i7 / Celeron® processors). By installing the card in a compatible QNAP NAS' (or PC's) PCIe slot, users will essentially add two processors to their system for increased computing capabilities to provide a flexible performance boost to their IT infrastructure and applications.
 
"As QNAP NAS evolves to support a wider range of applications, users need more storage space as well as higher computing capabilities for their NAS system. With the Mustang-200 dual-CPU computing accelerator card, users can instantly boost their system’s processing power, which is especially ideal solution for surveillance, virtualization, and AI applications,” said David Tsao, Product Manager of QNAP.
 
The innovative QNAP Mustang-200 computing accelerator card (PCIe 2.0 x4) features a dual CPU (including Intel® Core™ i5 / Core™ i7 / Celeron®) with Intel Graphics. By installing the card in the NAS, users can effectively increase the computing power and transcoding efficiency by the same power as two NAS. Each CPU on the card has a 10GbE network chip with independent IP, allowing users to connect to external networks using any network interface on the host NAS. Users can mount host storage space through iSCSI or VJBOD for the Mustang-200. The Mustang-200's operation environment is also independent from the NAS to prevent performance interference. Users can also install a Mustang-200 in their PC to empower performance-demanding applications (e.g. QVR Pro surveillance application) with greater image processing capability*. Models with Intel® Core™ i5 / Core™ i7 CPUs also have built-in M.2 SSD, providing additional options for faster and smoother application performance.

 
The Mustang-200 is powered by the intuitive and intelligent mQTS operating system and allows users to enjoy the same range of applications as seen in QTS. Users can install a variety of applications on-demand through the built-in App Center, import other app stores, or perform secondary development on the Mustang-200 to explore further application potential. The Mustang Card Manager assists in centrally managing all of the Mustang-200 (subsystems) installed in the host NAS. Users can monitor system status, configure network and storage resources, and connect to mQTS directly through the Mustang Card Manager for more detailed system configuration and application deployment.
 
*The QVR Pro Accelerator App (available soon) is required to deploy QVR Pro on mQTS.

Users can also install a Mustang-200 in their PC to empower performance-demanding applications (e.g. QVR Pro surveillance application) with greater image processing capability*. Models with Intel® Core™ i5 / Core™ i7 CPUs also have built-in M.2 SSD, providing additional options for faster and smoother application performance.

 
The Mustang-200 is powered by the intuitive and intelligent mQTS operating system and allows users to enjoy the same range of applications as seen in QTS. Users can install a variety of applications on-demand through the built-in App Center, import other app stores, or perform secondary development on the Mustang-200 to explore further application potential. The Mustang Card Manager assists in centrally managing all of the Mustang-200 (subsystems) installed in the host NAS. Users can monitor system status, configure network and storage resources, and connect to mQTS directly through the Mustang Card Manager for more detailed system configuration and application deployment.
 
*The QVR Pro Accelerator App (available soon) is required to deploy QVR Pro on mQTS.

Looks like my Plex server might get a new upgrade.

Thread cleaned. Any more insults or "I have more money than you" posts and it'll be locked.
 
Keep things civil please.

Agreed.  Save those comments for the 70"+ Super-Mega-UHD lightweight bezel-less wallpaper thin TV thread. 
 
 
JK.  

I usually buy/build a new top end rig every 4-6 years, and slowly upgrade during that time, if possible.  I'll overclock many components after the first year or so, once I feel the "cost to comfort-ability" ratio is balanced enough where I feel I'm not wasting too much money if I accidentally fry a CPU or GPU.  To just go out and buy a brand new system every 6 months to a year is just a waste of money, regardless of what funds you have.  Income wise, I'm living pretty comfortable (heck, my 4 kids go to private school).  However, I pinch pennies, not because I'm cheap, but because I like to be a bit more efficient with my money.  I also find it very fun to play with the hardware.  It's like working on old cars.  some people just enjoy playing under the hood.
