NHK Projector Features Insane 7680 x 4320 (8K) Resolution

Japanese TV broadcaster NHK has demonstrated Super Hi-Vision, their whopping 32 megapixel, 8K (7680 x 4320) ultra-high definition projector technology using two LCoS projectors with a combined 8,000 lumens brightness and a towering 6.6m x 3.7m 300-inch projection screen. For those of you who are counting, that absolutely obliterates the 4K (3840 x 2,160) full-HD standard. They have even developed a matching 8K studio camera.

LG Sticking to "Full HD" at CES

Walk the floor of any tech trade show and chances are you'll be bombarded with booth babes and HDTVs. Not much can be done to improve the former, but LG is hoping it can do something about the latter so they've teamed up with Japanese broadcaster NHK and Sega in an effort to demo 1080p programming only throughout their booth at CES. Most of the content will come from NHK, who will provide LG with experimental 1080p broadcasts they've filmed using high-speed motion cameras.
