I use an 8K 55" TV. It was much cheaper than an equivalent monitor and is equivalent to 4x 27" 4k panels. Text rendering is sublime.
I wish the panel was still in production with more dimming zones and DP input.
One difference between TV and monitor panels is the blue line peak (450 vs 460 nm); lots of people dismiss it as unimportant matter, but to me the further peak towards green the easier it is on my eyes.
Man I am so jealous. These are now gone. only 65+ are available, too big, ppi too low.
This is such a cool idea. Text was the one thing I was concerned about with perhaps color correctness/accuracy/calibration options secondarily, but I'm sure they've got that down.
But hearing that the text looks good is the biggest thing. I may actually consider going down this road.
I did this for a bit with a Q900R, a 65in 8k TV - a upside or downside depending on the time of year and climate is that it uses a lot of power and generates a good amount of heat.
Here’s a review of the series - https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/q900-q900r-8k-qled
One interesting thing is that it’s been firmware updated to support hdmi 2.1 on all hdmi ports now.
Nice article. I'd add that I have 8k@60 supported when using RX 6600XT and Arc A770.
I can't vouch for the color but it's an LCD panel so I suspect it's probably not the best. I have no way of testing this though.
Text is just a function of pixel count and using the standard rgb lcd cell.
The 55" model hasn't been made in a few years so you'd have to buy used. You'd have to beg samsung to bring it back.
