LG Accidentally Leaks Apple iMac 8K Is Coming Later This Year
An anonymous reader writes LG accidentally revealed in blog post that Apple is planning to release a 8K iMac later this year. This news comes as a surprise as the leak came from a different company rather than Apple. LG is one of Apple's biggest display partners and has already demonstrated 8K monitors at CES in Las Vegas. They note that the panel boasts 16 times the number of pixels as a standard Full HD screen.
Fuck everything, we're doing five blades.
I thought the "retina" display already has a higher resolution than the human eye can discern. Are these new Macs for cats?
And 20 years from now when we are using 8M monitors, someone will dig up this post and giggle. "Remember in 2015 when gweihir said that 8k was overkill! ROTFlyingCar!!!"
In a few years we'll have videophiles who buy 2048 DPI screens and $1000 woven silver DisplayPort cables and describe how their new baby produces such a visual canvas with airy colors and edgy lines that add presence to windows and make Chrome seem more forward.
How can I believe you when you tell me what I don't want to hear?
Because stupid people will buy anything when advertised as the "best".
Except 8K resolution is immensely better than 4K. The only people dismissing it as marketing bullshit are people who haven't seen it.
