8k is a revolutionary format with the highest resolution to date, capable of transmitting the most clear and detailed images. There is so much visual information in the picture that the brain begins to perceive it as reality and even recreates three-dimensional depth. It is a mistake to assume that 8k has only twice as many pixels as 4k. Since the dots are both horizontal and vertical, the new resolution fits the same number of pixels as four 4k monitors or 16 Full HD. It is quite difficult to fully enjoy the capabilities of such TVs - 8k content, to put it mildly, is now in short supply. For those who still decided to invest in the TV of the future, we have selected the 5 best TVs that can reproduce stunning 7680x4320 pixels. There are few of them on the market and, like all advanced developments, they are still in the premium segment.
TOP 5 best 8K TVs
5 Xiaomi Mi TV E65S All Screen Pro 8K
Country: China
Average price: 55 000 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.0
Admittedly, this model is a rather controversial choice, primarily because it is technically equipped with a 4k UHD screen. It reproduces video in 8k resolution due to software processing, but it does it with high quality - you can't fault it. Not least, the E65S is powered by a powerful Amlogic T972 processor clocked at 1.9GHz. With such a “head”, it shows the picture even in the highest quality without freezing, completely preventing defects during playback. There will be no problems with controlling an 8k TV - the menu is fully translated into Russian, has an intuitive interface.
Full immersion in what is happening on the screen is facilitated by a design specially developed by the company. The panel width has been increased while the side bezels have completely disappeared. The overview is expanded due to the larger usable display area. Xiaomi has solved the problem of flare on the sides of some 8k TVs by using a technology that reduces the color blending distance. As a result, there is no loss in image quality.
4 QLED Samsung QE55Q900RBU (2019)
Country: South Korea
Average price: RUB 170,000
Rating (2022): 4.4
Against the background of other flagships, the QE55Q900RBU TV has a modest diagonal - only 55 inches or 140 cm. Perhaps, due to the size of all the charms of 8 k, it cannot be seen on it, but its cost is many times more attractive than that of competitors. The model is equipped with artificial intelligence 8K AI Upscaling, which helps to correctly scale almost any video content.
The brightness of the scenes is adjusted by the learning Quantum processor depending on the lighting in the room.Even during the day, with direct sunlight through the window, the details will be clear, and the picture will not lose its colors. Also, the TV itself is able to choose the optimal volume for comfortable listening from 6 built-in speakers with a total power of 60 watts. The model fits best in small spaces, in which the depth of perspective, the accuracy of textures and the contrast of even the most dynamic moments are best felt.
3 NanoCell LG 75SM9900 (2019)
Country: South Korea
Average price: RUB 310,000
Rating (2022): 4.5
A rich and detailed image is the main advantage of the model. Thanks to NanoCell technology, colors are displayed as pure as possible, dull ones are filtered out automatically. The deepest blacks can be achieved using FALD Pro local dimming technology. It also improves contrast and enhances detail, making the edges of objects clear and voluminous, thus creating a hyper-realistic picture. Changing the viewing angle will not change the image quality.
The manufacturer offers to play 8k through an adapter. He promises that a little later, after updating the software, you can do the same, but in a much more convenient way - through network storage. In the future, the adapter will perform the function of a decoder - it will convert many types of video for playback. In addition, the 75SM9900 also features the much-anticipated HDMI 2.1 connector, with transfer rates up to 48 Gb/s.
2 Sharp LV-70X500E (2018)
Country: Japan
Average price: RUB 799,990
Rating (2022): 4.8
Sharp is considered the undisputed pioneer in the development of 8k TVs.She was the first to introduce the first retail-ready model LV-70X500E at the September IFA 2018 electronics exhibition in Russia. Equipped with a 70-inch diagonal sensor with a total of 33 million pixels that is still hard to imagine in your mind, the device provides fantastic detail and image depth.
The TV appeared in stores almost a year ago, so it can rightly be attributed to old and proven models. For obvious reasons, there are few reviews, but from those that are, we can draw conclusions about clear advantages: an elegant design, an extended 2.1 speaker system with a 15 W subwoofer, and a screen super-brightness of 1000 nits. There were also those who blamed the presence of an HDMI 2.0 port, believing that for a $10,000 TV it would be more solid to get a 2.1 version.
1 Sony KD-85ZG9 (2019)
Country: Japan
Average price: RUB 1,100,900
Rating (2022): 4.9
This is the first 8k TV from a renowned manufacturer. The huge 85-inch screen allows you to really appreciate the clarity of the image in 8k, while with a smaller diagonal you can only see all the subtleties if you get very close. Since 8k content is still small, quality scaling is of great importance. To reproduce a lower resolution picture as intended by the author, Sony uses one of its best technologies - object analysis. It provides the ability of the model to independently detect objects, analyze their structure and automatically correct colors, brightness and contrast.
The TV has 16 built-in speakers.They allow you to create a realistic audio picture and completely immerse the viewer in the world depicted on the screen. Due to the arrangement of additional blocks at the top of the panel, it seems that the characters are talking very close, in the same room. It is important to consider that the TV weighs almost 72 kg without a stand. And this means that hanging it on the wall will be a risky undertaking. The safest option is to use the stand that comes with the kit.
