This year, shipments of ultra-high-definition 8K TVs are expected to surge. This was reported by the DigiTimes resource, citing information received from industry sources.
8K panels have a resolution of 7680 x 4320 pixels. This is four times higher than 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) and 16 times higher than Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels).
Many companies have already presented 8K TVs. These include Samsung Electronics, TCL, Sharp, LG Electronics and Sony. True, the price of such panels is still very high.
An estimated 430 8K TVs were shipped globally last year. This year, an almost fivefold increase is expected: shipments will reach 2 million units. And in 2022, the market volume in unit terms, according to analysts, will be about 9,5 million.
Experts believe that several factors will contribute to the growth in demand for 8K TV panels. These are falling prices, the emergence of relevant content in ultra-high definition and the development of fifth generation cellular networks (5G).
