Sharp, 32-inch 8K color management display "8M-B32C1"
Sharp will release the 32-inch 8K liquid crystal display "8M-B32C1" in late June. The price is open, but it is expected to sell around 2,178,000 yen including tax.
A 32-inch color management display equipped with the "8M-B32C1" 8K LCD panel. Possible uses include photography studios, design companies, printing companies, video production including YouTubers and Vloggers, research, and archiving of paintings and artworks. Usage image for video production The resolution of the liquid crystal panel is 7,680 x 4,320 dots, and the maximum display color corresponds to approximately 1.07 billion colors. In order to take advantage of the high resolution of 8K, the surface treatment adopts gloss (glare). The color gamut covers 85% Rec.2020, 96% DCI-P3, 100% Adobe RGB, and 100% sRGB. Operation buttons are placed on the lower right of the front View from the front A 32-inch size is adopted as a size that can be installed in a limited space such as a tabletop. By leaning over when using it, you can check the details with 8K resolution. The pixel density is about 280dpi, which is close to the 300dpi of photo print services. Overall and close-up comparison. HDR, which achieves a resolution approaching that of printed matter, supports the HLG format used in broadcasting and the PQ format used in online video and movies. Peak brightness is 1,000cd/m2, and brightness at full white is 800cd/m2. The backlight is a direct type LED, and area control of 512 divisions is performed. The contrast ratio is 1,000,000:1. Supports HLG and PQ HDR images In order to achieve a highly uniform display, we have adopted our unique technology "SHARP Advanced UCCT", which we have cultivated for information displays with multi-display configurations. It measures the display characteristics for each RGB input signal in a fine area and corrects the chromaticity and luminance. In this way, we pursued a display that suppresses color unevenness and brightness unevenness. "SHARP Advanced UCCT" It also supports hardware calibration using a commercially available colorimetric sensor, so aging deterioration can be corrected periodically (at the moment, the sensor is only compatible with X-rite "i1 Pro 3"). Calibration software "SHARP Display Calibration Utility" is also available. "SHARP Display Calibration Utility" As a support function for editing and shooting, it corresponds to "brightness clipping" that warns the area exceeding the specified brightness value in HDR video. It also has an "out of color gamut warning" that allows you to check areas that exceed the Rec.709 color gamut in images with the Rec.2020 color gamut. It supports peaking that allows you to check the focus when shooting a scene using the brightness clipping function. The peaking color can be selected from red/green/blue/cyan/magenta/yellow/white. In addition, it supports false color that displays different colors for each brightness level, markers that display frames and crosses, monochrome display function, and blue-only display function. Equipped with HDMI 2.1 x 1, HDMI 2.0 x 4 (for 8K), HDMI 2.0 x 1 (for 4K), and Display Port (4K input) as menu screen input terminals. For 8K, you can input video with one cable for HDMI 2.1 and four cables for HDMI 2.0. It also has a USB Type-B terminal for color management and a Φ3.5mm analog audio output. The external dimensions are about 751 x 260 x 540 mm, and the weight is about 19.2 kg (with stand). Rear image HDMI has 2.1 and 2.0
