Someone finally did it: a high-end TV with a DisplayPort connection actually is coming this year, including 4K 180Hz support (www.techradar.com)

I've got a 43" Aorus 4k gaming screen for my desktop. 144Hz, freesync, 2 HDMI's a DisplayPort and a USBC. There is a 48" OLED as well, but I didn't have the space for it at the time.

After using a 4k 43" for a monitor for a few years, I definitely both recommend it AND wish companies would make 8k ones.

Does anything useful even come in 8K at this point? I saw it as a spec last time I went television shopping, but it seemed like something that wouldn't be useful for another decade.

8k is effectively dead

[–] arcine@jlai.lu 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

8K was always a lie. It's impossible to tell the difference from 4K unless you're too close, 4K already has more pixels than your eyes do.

Technically, all TVs have more pixels than your eyes do

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

4k is about 8 million pixels. The human eye has a resolution of about 576 megapixels.

I know what you mean with your comment, but the way you expressed it is factually incorrect

[–] oce@jlai.lu 1 points 1 day ago

I think it's already the case for 1080p at the distance most people put their TV.

This ad brought to you by the gigabyte marketing division

Honestly, nah. The screen is awesome, don't get me wrong, but the fact that I had to replace the main board after 1.5yrs, just out of warranty, means I definitely recommend people don't buy it. Luckily I found someone on eBay that dropped theirs, shattered the screen, and sold the internal boards for $50 shipped.

I only brought it up because it fits the requirements and I recommend the format. 4k 43"+ or 8k is goated on desktop.
