Question Are there any 8K monitors that also support 120Hz?

[Rakehellion]

HDR would be nice too.

No, and no cable that exists supports that high bandwidth of a connection either.

8k 120hz w/ HDR is almost 128Gb/s

The current fastest video cable specification would HDMI 2.1 which offers 42.6Gbps usable bandwidth
DP 2.0 has been announced (but no devices use it currently) and it only goes up to 77Gbps of usable bandwidth.


It will be YEARS before we get consumer 8k/120hz.

You intend to run the gpu that Jensen pulled out of his oven to run it?
Because there is no gpu that will be able to handle 120fps even on 4k for a while except that thing he pulled out of his oven.

If there was such a thing, it would probably cost like US$15k.

Fun tidbit: some years ago now, there was a prototype 8k PC monitor with a brutal dot pitch shown off at CES. It was connected by no less than 16 HDMI cables to its host PC...

I don't really care that much for 8K, but 4K and 5K with 120hz and HDR and all of that is a reasonable request.

Unfortunately HDMI 2.1 and DP 2.0 just keeps being a pipe dream while the same top monitors are being recycled and rebranded with zero change for the last 5 years or so. The monitor market is a joke.

What content is available in 8k that would take advantage of 120hz today?

Nothing

You could upscale 4k movies and interpolate to 120hz, which if you had enough GPU horsepower to do would probably look decent for certain media. But otherwise? No content exists outside of test footage.

2020 Olympics were to be shot and broadcast in 8k res in Japan and Italy, but no other broadcasters announced support for 8k outside of Japan and Italy. And obviously coronavirus has caused the 2020 Olympics to be postponed until 2021.

We haven't invented 4k @ 120Hz yet

We haven't invented 4k @ 120Hz yet

Sure we have, all LG OLEDs from 2019 and 2020 allow 4k120hz input source. There just aren't any GPUs capable of outputting a 4k120hz signal yet due to HDMI 2.0 bandwidth limitations.

When the next gen GPUs come out with HDMI 2.1, we'll have the bandwidth needed.

There are also supposed to be some active DP to HDMI converters coming to market in the next few months supposedly, which would allow you to use your current GPUs DP 1.4 output, convert to HDMI 2.1, and then go into the TV.

I am talking about LCD monitors for computers because i cant find 32" 3840 x 2160 (4K) with 120 Hz

PG27UQ is 4k and 144hz. Just because there aren't 32" 4k 120hz doesn't mean high refresh rate 4k monitors don't exist at ALL.

 

[Igo69]

That is 27" monitors and there are plenty of them so the one i mention doesn't exist yet

So what?

There aren't any 52" 4k panels or 36" 4k panels, or 95" 4k panels.

But there are 50" 4k, 40" 4k, and 98" or 88" 4k.

Just because there isn't a panel that exists in YOUR exact preference of panel size, panel type, and resolution/refresh rate, doesn't mean the technology doesn't exist. It just means whatever you want is currently far too niche of a product for any of the monitor manufacturers to bother producing.

Well, this is interesting and I get what what people are saying, and I don't know where in the world everyone lives, but they are broadcasting 8k in Japan and some cell phones have 4k displays. Having said that, we need to know what you want 8k 120Hz for.

2D or 3D? in 2D, it takes less GPU power so in theory, 8k @ 120Hz might be done in 2D but not 3D.

While it is somewhat different technology.... there is a processor inside that tv driving 8k pixel density...... and it isn't some over priced $2000 Nvidia GPU. It is probably some cheap ARM processor or what ever they are putting in TV's now. So just to dump an 8k feed to a screen at 120Hz should not be hard.

Being a JEDI and all...let me just say there is nothing out there that exists in the civilian sector!!
