What is 8K resolution?

8K resolution refers to the number of pixels that are contained in a display, in this case 7680 x 4320. It is the successor to much loved 4K resolution, with a pixel denisty four times higher. Much of the focus has been on refining this technology for home media consumption, but several well-known PC monitor manufacturers such as Dell and Viewsonic have released high quality displays that contain 8K panels.

What are the benefits of 8K?

• Pixel Density -An 8K display has the highest possible pixel density that can currently be achieved. An image displayed on one of these monitors will contain a phenomenal amount of detail. This leads to these displays offering spectacular results for streaming the latest blockbuster, or for fully immersing yourself in a AAA title.
• Creative Flair -With an 8K display allows a professional to have the ultimate experience. They’ll be able to incorporate much more detail into their work. They can achieve this thanks to being able to see finer details thanks to the the fidelity offered by these displays. Furthermore, with the amount of screen space offered by one of these monitors, they’ll be able to have many more windows open at once for a huge boost in multitasking.
• Colour Gamut -An 8K display improves upon the colour reproduction of a 4K display. This is possible thanks to four times as many pixels contained in the same size screen. With these extra pixels a wider range of colours can be on screen at once allowing for an image to contain much more subtle changes of shades and colours.
