new standard for image precision. The display comes with a three-year warranty from Sharp, with service support.

The high-quality 8K resolution display has 33 million pixels (7680 x 4320 pixels), four times more than 4K Ultra HD and sixteen times the resolution of Full HD. The monitor reproduces images at a higher resolution than the human eye can capture, allowing users to zoom in on details within an image to an extent not previously possible.

The LV-70X500E offers outstanding image quality and colour accuracy thanks to a wide gamut and 10-bit extended colour range. The HDR (High Dynamic Range) expands the range of both contrast and colour significantly, brightening images so that they appear to have more depth.

8K has important applications in industries that rely on detailed and colour-accurate images, including medicine, design and engineering. 8K displays are also able to replace multiple lower-resolution monitors in workplaces that handle high volumes of information, for example, trading floors, transport hubs and control centres.

Sid Stanley, general manager of visual solutions at Sharp Europe, said: “With our development of 8K Sharp is transforming the way the world can be viewed. We are pushing boundaries with the first 8K professional display that you can buy today, and our 8K camcorder, coming later this year. These products form the basis for our 8K ecosystem which covers the whole value chain, from image creation to distribution and display.”
