Japanese network begins airing 8K broadcasts

While Philippines is still catching up on Digital TV Broadcast systems, Japan is a decade ahead with its digital TV broadcast started way back 2003. And now Japan’s NHK(also known as Japan Broadcasting Corporation) has started broadcasting the world’s first 8K television format.  NHK has been eyeing for 8k broadcast for years. There’s just one problem, very few people owns 8k television.

8k television gives you more detail and better clarity.

 

For size comparison, TV stations in the Philippines as of this writing is broadcasting SD resolution. Compare it to 8k is a very huge difference. 8k TV has a resolution of 33 Megapixels while our SD TV only has 0.3 Megapixel. That is a very huge advantage specially if you are viewing it on the large screen. It may take a while before 8k Television becomes affordable to most people. In fact 4k TV is still expensive at this time.
