Japanese electronics company Sharp has recently announced that it will commence limited sales of its 8K TV at the end of October. Its newest innovation has been tagged to be the world's first 8K TV.
According to an online publication Uncover California, this gigantic and high definition 85-inch TV set is said to have a whopping price of $133,000 or £86,000. Many of its grandiose features have reaped lots of good impressions from the public. The report also states that it is obvious that its 8K "super hi-vision" resolution has caught everybody's attention to be more excited of bringing one Sharp 8K TV at home.

This electronics giant takes pride of its 8K TV's screen resolution at 7680 pixels by 4320 pixels. With its HD display that is 16 times better than any full high-definition TVs and even four times greater than 4K TV's resolution, cinema screen and 3D-like appearances on images seem to be a usual thing in your own comfort zones.
However, according to BBC.com news report, analysts also expressed their observations and suggestions during the launch. "We're not expecting 8K TVs targeted at consumers to be released until at least 2016, and we don't expect they will cross one million units until after 2019," said Abhi Mallick, from IHS Technology. "Japan's a region in which the average size of TVs sold tends to be smaller, and we think the minimum size 8K TVs would be sold at would be 65 inches," he added.
Mallick clearly pointed out in his statements that since Japan has relatively small size of households, it apparently shows that many families would not be interested with this cinema-like and three-dimensional TV set.
Also, technology consultant Chris Green said that he believed this 8K TV set seems to be limited to professionals who are up to just finding something to test the broadcast capabilities of the format. Generally speaking, its expensive price tag has been a huge factor as to why the ordinary buying public would not spend much of his time and resources to purchase one.
Nevertheless, many consumers and electronics enthusiasts still got their hearts captured by the world's first ever 8K TV - offering them extreme clarity and optimum viewing experience.
