Sharp will be releasing a 70-inch AQUOS 8K television next year: the LC-70X500 have a resolution of 7680 x 4320, which means 16 times the number of pixels compared to a full HD TV. Technically, this is not Sharp’s first 8K product, but it is the first to feature a five-digit price tag ($73,000).



Sharp Corporation announces the release of the AQUOS 8K Series of 8K-compatible TVs and displays, a world first. Positioned as the core of the 8K Ecosystem, Sharp’s key medium-term strategy, these products will be released in China in October, in Japan in December, in Taiwan in February 2018, and in Europe in March 2018. 8K is a revolutionary technology for ultra-high-definition images with 16 times the resolution of full-HD which could not be expressed with 4K images.
