Now that 4K displays have become more commonplace, we’re seeing a handful of manufacturers start pushing 8K resolutions. At CEATEC (Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies) this week, Japanese manufacturer J-Display will show the first 8K monitor — a 17.3-inch panel running at 7680×4320. That works out to nearly 520 PPI, which means the human eye would be unable to distinguish pixels at just seven inches. Given that most people find a seven-inch focus rather limiting, it means this display is going to be retina at any sane distance.

According to J-Display, the new 17.4-inch IPS panel is built using LTPS (low-temperature polysilicon). We’ve talked about this technology in the past, and it’s one of the most-advanced methods of building conventional LCDs — even better in some respects than Sharp’s IGZO. J-Display is also claiming a 120Hz refresh rate, wide viewing angles, and apparently positioning the hardware as a video production display.
