Lg claim 8k iMac is in the works.

Indeed. There's a distinct difference to not being able to distinguish every pixel in a side-by-side comparison, and still being able to tell that there is a difference.

And quite honestly I think that so long as a difference can be seen, even if it's not major, it's worth improving on.

Oh I agree. There are even people who say that you don't need bigger then 1080p HDTV's for your living room, for example.

 

You can still see a higher quality image, even if you can't distinguish the differences on a pixel level.

Can't wait to hear what people are going to say at 12k or 16k...

Haha well I think by that point, we'll be looking at alternative "display" tech, such as 3D holographic photo realistic display tech.

 

Or, you know, they'll just keep pumping out those pixels. That could happen too

I don't mind looking at what will essentially become a window. :lol:

Well, if they go past a certain pixel density (one that would define 0.5-1.0 arc minutes at the minimal distance your eyes can focus on (10-15cm for me)) then they just wont need to, because then you scientifically cannot see more detail in any scenario

better put a titan in that i mac...

It might have only one I/O USB-C and titan will come in separate box like that ridiculous idea for laptop with full size GPU...

Why the hell are people dissing this? If they put 8K at 27" screen size then it would be 326.36 Pixels Per Inch. The exact same PPI of the iPhone 4 when it first received its "Retina" hoopla. FFS we already have phone with 450+ PPI and yet Apple is crazy for wanting to do 326 PPI on a desktop computer?

 

LTT logic.

Pretty sure we won't see this in a 27" screen. Most likely will be a 32"+ screen.

 

 

LTT logic = hate everything Apple does or doesn't do. (same for Razer, Alienware and many other brands)

[EpicGeekonFire]

I doubt there will be an 8k iMac, there just isn't the hardware to run it well, unless AMD releases something spectacular. 

 

I bet Apple's next step will be adding a high resolution external display to their line up and increase the power of the Mac Pro.

Good, now I want to see it work.

Nobody brings PPI on monitors up. I can understand why, as I can't see pixels on my 1080p 24" screen when I'm properly sitting in my chair with my head about foot and a half away from the screen.

We hold phones much closer to our eyes so high PPI is needed.

I love my 24" monitors, going to 1440p on them would make them perfect and 4K on this size would be useless. Let alone 27" 8K.

I like that apple pushes the super high resolution more will come and 4K will finally be more affordable and OS along with applications and web pages better optimizied for it (scaling)

Apple could be planning to release an 8K iMac

[Suffokation]

With the BLAZING FAST M290X!!!!!

[Thebman712]

Why!?

because they are apple and they fuck logic in the ass

Because maybe they want to be innovators again?

That 16x Full HD

[Nakano2k1]

That's like AMD saying "More cores are going to gain us more market share".

 

Ramping up the resolution through one of your component makers is not "innovation".

[Timopomer]

8k text scaling 

 

 

hahahahahahaha

[Comessy]

That's 16x the pixels of 1080p!

 

Screw that I can't even distinguish the pixels in 1080p

Hey genius, ever heard of natively having 1:1 editing of your 4K, 5K and 6K video streams? Said streams that RED cameras put out? Or 1:1 editing of 36mp shots out of a Nikon D800? 

This isn't for consumers. Its for actual professionals. But nope, on this site its all about gaming bullshit and nothing else matters, am I right? 

[Nakano2k1]

Honestly, I can't wait what they use to drive it. With that kind of resolution you kinda need HBM.
