7680×4320 resolution.
who wants one or three (for 23040x4320) ???

Well holy ****. What kind of video interface is needed for that?7680×4320 resolution.
In both cases, we are talking about IPS LCD panels, rather than OLED technology,
This is getting ridiculous. Do cameras even record @ 8k? You'd just be watching 4k movies on an 8k display. Still waiting for 4k OLED to drop in price....thats more than enough for me.
This is getting ridiculous.
No.
We need 8K at the very minimum, preferably up to 16K. Why? VR. If 8K is being developed for TVs, that means that we can expect it to come to monitors in the future and hopefully someone will shrink it to the size that's required for VR.
Of course, to actually run 8K at 90 fps is a long, long way off, but you need an ambitious target. That's essentially what we'd need for a really good VR experience, until then we will only get a bunch of software hacks that barely patch over the reality that the current resolution is inadequate, by a long shot.
Also, 8K TVs are not entirely new. We've seen it before on last year's CES(Sharp had one).
Nordic Hardware, a Swedish tech site, compared the 4K and 8K TV's(of equal size) and said that there was a difference that was apparent and that the 8K TV looked better with 8K content on(Sharp had their own custom stuff).
All these higher resolutions just prove that the historic roles of resolutions of GPU power have been reversed. Now it is the GPUs who are trailing behind the resolutions and not vice versa and this is a kick in the ass to both AMD and Nvidia to accelerate.
8K120 Super Hi-Vision, here we come!
You realize that Sharp and Panasonic both showed off 8K TVs back in 2011, so this isn't really groundbreaking. Cameras and content already exist. Japan's NHK actually broadcast the London Olympic games in 8K as a test run.

GPU makers need this push to start making more powerful GPUs more mainstream. The faster we get mainstream 4K and high-end 8K displays, the faster we'll get better GPUs.
Nikon D810 is 7360x4912, so this TV is near that.This is getting ridiculous. Do cameras even record @ 8k? You'd just be watching 4k movies on an 8k display. Still waiting for 4k OLED to drop in price....thats more than enough for me.

Lol... no, not quite.
Temporal resolution is a thousand times more relevant to VR than spatial resolution. A lot of people wear glasses and still don't have 20/20 vision, but no matter how bad your eyes are, their exposure sensitivity to light is measured in femtoseconds. That's not to say you need a billion FPS to achieve VR, but you need way more temporal resolution than what we have today.
Why can't we have both? 8K120 Super Hi-Vision!
