AUO Has 8K Gaming TV Panel with 120 Hz Refresh Rate and 4608 Zone FALD

[TheLostSwede]

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.

That's 7200 pixels per dimming zone. On an 8k TV, which I imagine you're buying for improved picture quality, a 7200 pixels zone seems like garbage.

Are there any existing connection out there to feed this beast?

this is dumb as shit

I hate negativism if it's not mine.

I hope h.266 gets buried, we don't need additional proprietary codecs for useless resolutions like 8k.
AV1 did the job.

AV1 isn't nearly as efficient for 8K content though. I'm not keen on proprietary codecs either, but hopefully there will be an AV2 or something.

H.266 VVC vs AV1, Which is Better?

Both H.266 VVC and AV1 are designed to deliver 4K and 8K videos at reduced data requirements but the same quality. Which is better? Check this VVC vs AV1 differences in details.

No thanks,

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.

Hmmm. I suppose Be good for sharp billboards or something.

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.

65 inch? if they change this to a maximum 42 inch 16:9 then it might be a killer.

Considering who's backing that I doubt it'd go away anytime soon but as long as Google continues with the development or AV1 or a future AV2 codec the paid alternative will not gain any real traction! YT probably has more streams (minutes) viewed than all other sites combined.

You can see the difference in PPI? I'd go the other way, maybe if it was a 120" panel. It would be a killer. If it wasn't going to cost $100k.

100k? where did you get that price?

Just made it up in jest. Just saying it's going to be unaffordable for 99.9% of the people out there.

If it was microled then I would agree on that price being around 50k but since is mini led, my take on the price is around 5k maximum. The issue for a subpixel layout that is not rgb to be clear and readable must have a high ppi reason a 42 inch or lower would be best. Anyway, 50% of these prototypes are never released. They just want to show off hoping to get investors money.

Multiply the FALD zones x10 and you might have something worthwhile.
