Why RGBlink D8?

Before we answer this question, let's find out why 8K?

The video standards started from 1940s,and during these 80 years, the standard heads into 8K and it was already more than 10 years.

Based on the market share report, 4K TV market share is just over 60%, and 8K TV market share is 1%~3%. 4K grows into 80% will be achievable in these two years, and 8K seems will take the left 20% sooner or later. 8K takes the market share speed will be much faster than 4K as the following driving reason.

1. Increased Resolution: 8K offers four times the resolution of 4K (3840 x 2160) and sixteen times that of Full HD (1920 x 1080). This higher pixel density enhances image clarity and detail, especially on larger screens.
2. Enhanced Viewing Experience: For large displays, 8K can provide a more immersive experience. Viewers can sit closer to the screen without noticing pixelation, making it ideal for theater-style setups.
3. Content Availability: While 8K content is still limited, streaming platforms, video games, and certain films are starting to offer 8K options. As technology advances, more content is expected to become available.
4. Technological Advancements: The development of 8K displays pushes the boundaries of display technology, including improvements in color accuracy, HDR (High Dynamic Range), and refresh rates.
5. Future-Proofing: Investing in 8K technology can be seen as a way to future-proof your setup, as more content becomes available and technology continues to improve.
6. Price Considerations: 8K televisions and monitors are generally more expensive than their lower-resolution counterparts, so it's important for consumers to weigh the benefits against the cost.

And once marketing inside into the PC graphic card, 8K graphic is available too.

As of October 2023, several graphics card models are capable of handling 8K resolution gaming and content creation. Here are some notable options:

1. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series:
2. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series:
3. AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series:
4. AMD Radeon RX 7000 Series:

Tips:

• Performance: While these cards can technically support 8K resolution, the performance will vary based on the game and graphical settings. Many games may require reduced settings to maintain playable frame rates at 8K.
• Content Creation: For tasks such as video editing or 3D rendering at 8K, these cards provide the necessary power and memory.

As of October 2023, various sources for 8K video content are also available, encompassing a range of devices and platforms. Here are some notable models and options for playing 8K video:
