8K Televisions available in-store now!
8K resolution has arrived and Moss of Bath have two brand new products available.
8K is nothing short of the clearest picture you’re ever likely to see. It has four times more pixels than 4K images, measuring 7680×4320 pixels, which equates to a total of 33,177,600 pixels!
It’s called 8K because the images are roughly 8,000 pixels wide, give or take a few hundred, but the specification also comes under the umbrella term Ultra HD, so some people may use the term Ultra HD 8K.
Moss of Bath currently stock the Samsung Q95 QLED 8K Ultra HD TV and the Sony ZG9 LED HDR 8K TV and the Samsung model is already on display in-store and wowing our customers.
8K Jargon explained
HDR: Standard dynamic range on most TVs only shows a small amount of colour and contrast that the human eye can see, while TVs with the new high-dynamic-range (HDR) technology offer deeper levels of contrast, richness and brightness. HDR is one of the latest innovations in TV technology, with several different formats still being worked on. All 8K televisions will be HDR.
Nits: These are the measure of light output from your television. Standard LED screens will measure at 200 to 500 nits, whilst new 8K models could produce 2,500 nits or higher.
LED vs OLED: Light emitting diode (LED) screens are the most common type of display, using light emitting diodes to light up the screen. OLED (O for organic) screens light up individual pixels, which can then be turned off to achieve true black colours; they also have a faster response time to limit blurring and provide greater contrast.
QLED: Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diode. QLED is a marketing name used by Samsung to describe their newer LED TVs. They use traditional LCD panels lit using LEDs. Between the LCD layer and the backlight, a filter with energy reactive nano-particles filters the light to produce more pure and saturated colours.
Quantum dots are tiny particles of between two and 10 nanometres in diameter. They’re employed in displays due to their ability – in conjunction with other materials – to give off different colours according to their size.
The advantage of this is that they’re capable of emitting brighter, more vibrant, and more diverse colours – the sort of colours that really make HDR content shine, thanks to the high peak brightness that can be achieved.
