Sharp builds 8K monitor with 120Hz refresh rate

Sharp Corporation at a special presentation in Tokyo (the capital of Japan) introduced a prototype of its first 31,5-inch monitor with a resolution of 8K and a refresh rate of 120 Hz.

The panel is made using IGZO technology - indium gallium and zinc oxide. Devices of this type are distinguished by excellent color reproduction and relatively low power consumption.

It is known that the monitor has a resolution of 7680 Γ— 4320 pixels and a brightness of 800 cd/m2. Other technical characteristics have not yet been disclosed, since we are talking about a prototype.

It should be noted that questions remain regarding how exactly such a monitor will connect to a computer. To transmit an 8K image at a refresh rate of 120 Hz, you will need a huge amount of bandwidth. Therefore, several DisplaPort 1.4 cables may be needed (depending on color depth).

The AnandTech resource notes that Sharp also showed an image of a monoblock computer, presumably equipped with the display described above.

However, there is currently no information on the possible timing of the appearance of these products on the commercial market.
