JVC shows off 8k x 4k D-ILA projector, asks when SHV is dropping by

by Darren Murph, posted Oct 11th 2008 at 7:18AM

Think 4k x 2k is intense? Get a load of this. At CEATEC 2008, JVC is once again proving its mastery of the projector art form by showcasing a somewhat ridiculous 8k x 4k beamer. The prototype device boasts a native resolution of 8,192 x 4,320 and packs a dynamic contrast ratio of 1,100,000:1. In case you couldn't guess, its purpose is to display Super High Vision material in all of its natural glory, though only time will tell when that content (and this machine) are widely available to enjoy.

I love these contrast ratio claims. Let's claim something that 0.00001% of the population could dispute. And if they cannot dispute it, then it must be true. And in this cowsumer nation of soon to be slaughtered fodder, it doesn't really matter when the entire article is for nothing.

The stupid thing with contrast ratios on projectors, is in most situations it's irrelevant, since ambient light and the condition of the lens itself does just as much damage to the deep blacks.
