While it is certainly the case that 4K video content is still not widely available and hasn't well and truly infiltrated the television industry on a broad scale, that isn't stopping Sharp from going a couple of steps ahead and creating a spectacular 8K TV in the form of the Aquos.
With an absolutely mind-boggling resolution of 7,680 x 4,320, the Sharp Aquos Series 8K TV quadruples the amount of pixels you'd get in a 4K TV. Set to be introduced first to the Japanese market, this TV will be fitted with a massive 70-inch LED display as well as four HDMI ports for maximum connectivity.
Despite it being true that 8K content is still years away from becoming common, Sharp is ensuring that its 8K TV will be the most proven product in the marketplace by that point, a great example of an electronics manufacturer pushing the boundaries of technology to ensure increased market share.
