Manufacturers expect to sell more than 300, 000 units of 8K TVs in 2019
DigiTimes is now reporting that several panel manufacturers will switch in 2019 to the production of LCD panels for televisions with 8K resolution. 8K resolution is four times the size of 4K, and sixteen times the size of 2K or 1080p. This gives us an image with a resolution of 33.2 megapixels, which is perhaps much more noticeable on large screens.
Today's televisions are roughly 43 inches (on average) and almost all have a 4K panel. In 2018, about 110 million units have been sold, and more than 40% of the total number of televisions sold have 4K resolution. In 2019 that percentage would increase to 47%. Next year, the transition to four-times higher resolution displays should reportedly begin with major players supporting this technology, with Samsung, LG, Innolux, AU Optronics, BOE Technology and CSOT (China Star Optoelectronics Technology).

Although the production of panels for 8K TVs is about to take off in 2019, initial shipments will be limited due to a lack of SoC solutions, low performance rates and high production costs, said the market research firm, which also estimated Global shipments of 8K TV panels will reach 300, 000 units in 2019 for a 0.1% penetration rate.
Judging by the production roadmaps of the different companies, the 65 and 75-inch models will be the main sizes of the 8K LCD TV segment, since players such as Samsung Display, Innolux, AU Optronics (AUO), BOE Technology and China Star Optoelectronics Technology (CSOT) plan to roll out TV panels in these two sizes to meet 'growing demand'. Samsung and Innolux are expected to focus on 82-inch panels; AUO and CSOT can launch 85-inch models; and Sharp will launch 70 and 80-inch models to a greater or lesser extent.
Samsung has already started selling this type of television with the Q900R model.
