On the occasion of its 30th birthday, the Chinese display specialist BOE brought a lot to the Display Week exhibition area, including a 110-inch 16K LCD. On the display with a diagonal of 2.80 meters and 132.7 million pixels, the pixel structure is not even noticeable when you get very close to the screen. The display looks like printed.
Thanks to the high resolution, the pixel structure of the 16K display cannot be seen even up close.

However, you wouldn’t notice the pixels from a reasonable viewing distance, even at lower pixel densities. In this respect, the question of the meaning of such high resolutions remains justified. 8K televisions already have over 30 million pixels. They have four times the resolution of the 4K TVs that are in most living rooms these days. For 16K, the 8K resolution is doubled again in both directions; the resulting 160 dpi of the 110 incher would also be sufficient for a monitor viewed from a distance of 60 centimeters.
16 individual strands marked “DP” supply the 16K display with image content.

The fact that the TV shown is a laboratory sample anyway becomes clear when you look at the back of the display. There, 16 video lines lead from the source to the display to fill the 15,360 x 8,640 pixels with content.
