In April, Vizio finally made 4K televisions affordable when they dropped their 43-inch model for $600. But already, newer and better technology is creeping at the doorstep, namely 8K.
According to Forbes’ Maury Brown, on July 17 the New York Yankees versus Seattle Mariners game will be the first Major League Baseball game ever recorded in 8K. Japanese public broadcasting station NHK will set up six 8K cameras throughout Yankee Stadium, with which MLB and NHK executives will be able to watch on 8K monitors in a suite.
The game will not be broadcast, due to the fact that 8K monitors are not even on the market yet, and the game will purely be an experiment for both MLB and NHK.
