Eyes-on with Sharp's Reality-like, Glasses-free 8K 3D TV
dvice.com reports that 4K TVs are everywhere at CES. 2014 is supposed to be the year 4K explodes — seriously. But who needs or even wants 4K when Sharp’s 8K TV is sixteen times sharper than HD? This year’s upgrade: glasses-free 3D that makes 3D look stupendous.
Every year since 2012, Sharp trots out its 8K TV and installs it at its CES booth. Like flies to a zap trap, swarms of attendees always stop to stare — for long periods of time — at the massive 85-inch 8K TV. It’s impossible not to get lost in its 7,680 x 4,320 resolution screen. Looking at its picture is literally like looking at real life — only it’s isn’t; just really sharp video with incredible detail.

I (Michael Silbergleid) posted this story, but having seen the demo I was not impressed at all. I am reminded of the early days of HD when the press thought the images looked great, but those who knew what to look for could see macroblocking (especially in 8-bit video and later in ATSC). That being said, it does move the technology further along.
Full Disclosure: I do contract work for Soliddd Corp., which is a 3D company with glasses-free print, video display, and acquisition technologies.
