The new 8K TV specification now outlined by the 8K Association consists of advisable efficiency ranges for High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Color efficiency together with interface necessities to assist guarantee shoppers have faith of their newly bought 8K TVs. A compliance take a look at set shall be developed subsequent by 8K Association members, thus enabling a clear testing course of. The 8KA plans to advertise a emblem on any member’s 8K TV that meets or exceeds the newly outlined technical commonplace.
Along with the newly outlined efficiency commonplace, the 8K Association continues its fast development with its broad membership having greater than doubled over the previous months.

The newly launched tech spec consists of specs for 8K Input Parameters (bit depth, body price, chroma sub-sampling), Display Performance (decision, peak brightness, black stage, shade gamut, white level), and the Interface & Media codecs (High Dynamic Range, codec).
- Resolution: 7680 x 4320 pixels
- Input Frame Rate: 24p, 30p and 60p frames per second
- Display Luminance: More than 600 nits peak luminance
- Codec: HEVC
- Interface: HDMI 2.1
- Additional efficiency and interface specs (accessible to members)
