AUO Has 8K Gaming TV Panel with 120 Hz Refresh Rate and 4608 Zone FALD
TPU doesn't normally cover TVs, but at Touch Taiwan had a new gaming focused TV panel that might very well end up in some very high-end gaming "monitors" as well. The panel is a 65-inch model that supports 7680 x 4320 resolution at up to 120 Hz. However, the high-end specs don't stop there, as the panel has a 4,608 zone full array local dimming backlight, which gives it a typical brightness of 400 cd/m², but it can go up to 1,800 cd/m² at 10 percent areas in HDR mode.
As with the 4K display panel we wrote about earlier, this TB panel also features AUO's A.R.T. "reflectionless" feature, which should prevent it from being overly reflective in brightly lit areas. The demo panel was powered by MediaTek's Pentonic 2000 SoC, which is currently one of the highest-end 8K TV processors and potentially the only one with support for H.266 video decoding. Sadly we don't have any indication on which TV manufacturers will use the new display, but regardless of the brand, we expect the retail products to be very expensive.

AV1 did the job.

8K truly is a solution to a problem that nobody has. Even 4K feels extravagant and beyond the point of diminishing returns. If there's leftover processing power at 4K, it's better spent on attaining a high-refresh experience, not needlessly driving up the resolution. it's not as if game assets are even made with 8K in mind yet.
definitely a niche product though. Basically 4 - 32” 4k screens glued together with fald backlight and 120 refresh. Cut it into quarters and sell them as monitors. :). I wouldn’t mind a 4k monitor with 120 refresh and fald. :)
