Sharp showed its 70″ 8K monitor, the LV-70X500E, at IFA in 2017. The product has now been made available in Europe with pricing at €11,199 (including tax). The TV has eight HDMI inputs, four regular inputs and four to allow four UltraHD images to be displayed as a single 8K image. HDR is supported via PQ and HLG and the brightness is 400 cd/m² (although the peak is reported to be 1,000 cd/m² with 216 zones). The set can show still images in 8K from the USB port.
HLG is only supported on the 8K ports according to those that have seen the specifications, not the 2K and 4K versions.
The monitor is rated as consuming 445W.
Analyst Comment
