Recently, CES 2022 (International Consumer Electronics Show) was held in Las Vegas. At this CES, ultra-high definition technology seems to have become a necessary option in the products of major exhibitors. 4K and 8K are becoming “commonplace” in intelligent terminals and display products, appearing in various application scenarios such as games, conferences, smart home, life photography and so on. Many international well-known TV brands participating in the exhibition have launched corresponding 4K / 8K TV products.
For example, Sony launched 8K Mini LED TV z9k, 4K Mini LED TV x95k, 4K OLED TV a80k and 4K full array backlight LCD TV x90k in its new TV lineup in 2022, which is the one with the greatest efforts to promote the popularization of ultra-high definition among similar enterprises. LG officially announced that it would enter the large-size micro LED TV market and displayed a 136 inch 4K HDR micro LED TV on CES this year. In addition, Panasonic launched its new flagship 4K OLED TV lz2000 in 2022, with a maximum size of 77 inches. Hisense, a well-known Chinese TV brand, launched the world’s first 8K laser display solution, leading the laser display into the 8K era. Hisense has realized the high pixel density 8K optical engine lighting and imaging technology, which has brought the analysis of 8K ultra-high definition pictures. At the same time, combined with ultra-high definition light control and optical analysis technology, Hisense has also realized the accurate control of 33 million beams of light, so as to realize the decoding and picture display of 8K images. Samsung has brought two high-end displays. The first is the 32 inch 4K Smart Monitor M8. In addition to providing TV functions like previous products, it now adds a smartthings hub, which can directly control compatible smart home devices from the screen. In addition, with the attached magnetic Slimfit webcam, it is also more suitable for video chat. In addition, Samsung also released a 32 inch Odyssey Neo G8 game display, which can jump to 4K resolution. It is the first 4K display to support 240Hz and 1ms pixel response time. Asus has released the Rog swift series game display, which has 4K (3840 x 2160) display in both 48 Inch (pg48uq) and 42 inch (pg42uq).

In the non-traditional category, the mini UAV Evo Nano series launched by Chinese UAV brand daotong intelligent can support recording 4K 30 frame HD video at most.
Through ces2022, we can see that UHD has become an indispensable part of future terminal products. Enabled by 4K / 8K technology, the value of UHD video industry is continuously being released. According to the statistics of China Electronic Information Industry Development Research Institute, in 2020, the direct sales revenue of ultra-high definition video production, network transmission, terminal presentation, core components and video services in China exceeded 850 billion yuan, driving the hardware sales and application scale of vertical industry to exceed 930 billion yuan, with a total scale of nearly 1.8 trillion yuan.
However, industry experts also pointed out that at present, the technical solutions and industrial chain of ultra-high definition content collection, production, coding, storage, transmission and presentation need to be further opened up.
