https://www.overclock3d.net/news/gpu_displays/sony_announced_up_to_16k_modular_tv_screens_for_ultra-rich_consumers/1 Sony has decided to offer its Crystal LED display technology to consumers, allowing them to create large, modular screens with resolutions of up to 16K. This system is designed using MicroLED panels which measure 16 x 18-inches and offer a resolution of 360x360, pixel brightness levels of 1,000 nits, 99% black surface levels, 10-bit colour support and 140% coverage of the sRGB colour space. These screens also support a refresh rate of 120Hz. Each MicroLED panel reportedly costs around $10,000 US, making a 1080p 110-inch setup £180,000, a 4K 220-inch setup $720,000 and a 16K 790-inch setup $5.76m. Sony's MicroLED panels are designed to join together seamlessly, making the screen look like a large, singular panel. With this kind of pricing, Sony's Crystal LED TV setups are designed exclusively for the multi-millionaire market. The kind of people that want a cinema room in their super-yacht. Previously, this screen technology was only sold to commercial customers. So, if you have a couple of million burning a hole in your pocket and you want to upgrade your home cinema setup, Sony now has a new option for you. Now the rest of us can wonder how long it will take for MicroLED TVs to reach affordable pricing levels for mainstream users. As soon as I become a multi-millionaire I'll buy one. I really need to win that lottery.

Seems that "MircoLEDs" are still not quite micro enough, as displays only come in stupid huge, and super stupid huge sizes. once they get to 1/4 the size (by height/width or 1/16 by area) we could have 55in 4k tvs... though no idea if the price will be more accessible even if the size is.

It's expensive but for those who can afford that it would be worth it. Keep in mind though that to go beyond 8K it would take larger then 200" inch screens before you would really notice the difference in picture quality.

The panels are 16”x18” at a resolution of 360 pixels x 360 pixels... so you would have to sit very far away to not see this as pixelated squares? Maybe I am thinking about that the wrong way, but 360x360 isn’t exactly going to make the lines blend up close. If people complain that 1920x1080 isnt good enough... 360x360 isn’t going to satisfy their cravings.. 790” to get to 16k... so... >65’ screens... yeah, ok... that’s definitely possible for a consumer application. I don’t think the ultra rich are actually that stupid yet. If they were going to waste that sort of money, why wouldn’t they go for a projector that takes up significantly less room. Nothing supports 16k at this point, and by the time it does support 16k, this price won’t be so dumb.

Could be they meant 360x360px x 1”^2 ? Somewhere the math doesn’t add up Would need 56x56 pixel / inch for an 18x16 panel to be 16k by definition.

450 pixels per square inch isn't too bad for such a large display. When you scan a document, that is usually something like 300 pixels per inch, right? And that is good enough for you to accept as a document on a printed piece of paper 1.5 feet away from your face, right? Edit: Fooey! PPI is per inch, not per square inch. Oh well. My comparison failed. Still, 450 RGB leds in one square inch doesn't seem too bad in my imagination. I imagine that the large screen viewed from appropriate distance is very impressive.

These modular video wall setups are so arbitrary though. Where do they come up with 16K in particular if these blocks can just be modularly added together as needed? I think they're just using 16K as a technological buzzword. Might as well of said 8K or 24K for all it matters. It's legos for displays. Make it as big as you want to. So much cheaper (relatively) just to use a bunch of zero-bezel video wall panels to do the same thing. https://www.newegg.com/Video-Walls/SubCategory/ID-3671?cm_sp=Cat_Digital-Signage_6-_-VisNav-_-Video-Walls_1

I can't afford two buy 4K 32" monitor at the moment. If I buy monitor I need to delay upgrade of platform for 6 months. Closest period is January 2021, if I buy monitor that mean August 2021 upgrade to new processor.

10k each is a nice price. Currently we're installing projectors from sony and christie for $250,000 without screens or install.

I'm thinking it's a limitation of the module that feeds the screen images 16K and X number of blocks are it's limit. You might be able to display a 32K image if you had some extra hardware to split it into four 16k images correctly (and higher) (side note "32K" would be 30,720 pixel wide, so it's no longer just rounding up to the nearest "K" but giving it a bonus one as well. Unless they are using cinematic true 4k of 4096 as the base) granted, the fact that the module that does that is make for 16k is intentional no doubt for marking, as there are already a number of 8k displays out now for consumers (not a ton mind you) so just matching that wouldn't work.

We do not have mass adoption of 4K. Nobody around me has a 4K television except me for gaming. They are already thinking of 8K televisions. Now Sony is daydreaming with 16K. Lifetime Sony owners. I love Sony products. However, this is ridiculous. At some point there will be no reason to continue pushing the resolution higher because the eye will not be able to discern that much information. Also people are content with their 1080p. There is not even true 1080p broadcast television with Comcast 720p. Luxary, extortion and usurious.
