Upscaling 8K TVs

This Samsung TV Can Upscale High-Definition Content Into Crystal-Clear 8K

— September 4, 2018 — Tech
South Korean consumer electronics giant Samsung didn't get to its current position by playing it safe, and the company is continuing to showcase its willingness to embrace bold new technologies with the introduction of its first full-fledged 8K TV.

Dubbed the Q900FN, this particular 8K TV will be available in three screen sizes, namely 65-inch, 75-inch, 82-inch and 85-inch versions. All four options come equipped with Samsung's proprietary LCD technology, which guarantees over 30 million pixels for spectacular visual clarity.

Perhaps the most impressive feature of this 8K TV is its ability to upgrade any content into 8K regardless of whether the input content is being streamed from a smartphone, played from a USB connection or displayed from a set-top module. With the promise of upscaling content quality, the Q900FN is marketing itself to people who like the idea of 8K displays but worry about the availability of compatible content.

3. Content Upscaling - The upscaling of content to 8K provides an opportunity for innovation in video processing and artificial intelligence, allowing for improved upscaling algorithms and greater compatibility with older content.
Industry Implications

2. Entertainment - The introduction of 8K technology creates opportunities for the entertainment industry to produce and distribute content that can take advantage of the improved picture quality, attracting new audiences and allowing for innovative storytelling techniques.
3. Artificial Intelligence - The upscaling of content to 8K provides an opportunity for innovation in artificial intelligence algorithms, allowing for greater accuracy and quality in content upscaling while also enabling more efficient use of computational resources.
