Sharp Corp. this week demonstrated what it calls the world’s first television that supports all requirements of 8K super hi-vision broadcast. The LCD TV supports 76804320 resolution and is not expected to hit the market until 2018, when Japan Broadcasting Corp. (Nippon Hoso Kyokai, NHK) starts to broadcast in such ultra-high-definition standard.
The 8K4K TV from Sharp is 85” in diagonal and features 120Hz refresh rate

NHK plans to start test 8K super hi-vision broadcasting in 2016 during translations of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. The company intends to start commercial 8K broadcasting in 7680*4320 resolution and with advanced multi-channel audio in 2018.

Sony and Panasonic are working on a new optical disc technology with recording capacity of at least 300GB; the specification should be ready by late 2015
