Coming in at 16 times the resolution of 1080p screens, the 7,680 \u00d7 4,320 pixel LCD panel uses Sharp\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/tag\/igzo\/\">IGZO<\/a> technology. To actually watch any 8K video, you\u2019ll need to plug into all four of its HDMI inputs at once just to have enough bandwidth.
