Have you heard about Boe? If not, now there is a good time for a hug, because it is no less than the world’s largest LCD panel manufacturer. And Boe just shown from the recent 32-inch 8K 120 Hz monitor at the SID Display Week showIn Los Angeles. Bit 120 Hz is the main, but not the only one, recent here 60 Hz 32-inch 8K monitors earlier. The second treat includes scaling and very high refreshment, but we will come back to it.
Of course, you can argue what is not inventive is the knowledge that 8K is largely irrelevant to the general employ of the computer and completely irrelevant to games. And this despite Niva Bigging Up 8K Gaming during the premiere of RTX 3090 in the fog in 2020.
Near five years later and what do we have to show to it? Almost not the content of 8K and if something less 8K TVs for sale tardy and Even less 8K monitors. What’s more, if you’ve ever played in a 32-inch 4K monitor, you’ll know that the details of the image are quite epic. Are there any benefits to make even more pixels to play?
Keep this thought too, while we discuss some additional details about this Boe panel. In fact, there is nothing more to say about the specifications, because little was released, except for one key detail. The panel will also work at 4K 240 Hz.
It is available on double mode on a total or double pixel, like the latest 4K monitors, which offer 1080p mode, such as ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCG (well, some of them-many of them do not employ scaling of integers, but this is a story for another day). Just like you can map 1080p to 4K using a pixel quad on the 4K panel to present a single pixel in 1080p grid, 4K maps ideally up to 8K.
This immediately makes this panel more useful and realistic for games. But wait, it becomes better. 1440P also perfectly mapps at 8K. Instead of 2×2 pixels during 4K to 8K mapping, for 1440p it is 3×3 or nine 8K pixels for each pixel 1440p.
Theoretically, you can then have a refresh rate of 1080 Hz in 1440p mode. Peppy! Even if 1080 Hz is a bit unbelievable, if it is not essentially impractical, it opens the option of really high refreshment of 1440p mode.
In fact, 1080p also perfectly maps on 4K, this time in the 4×4 system, which also works until 1920 Hz. Of course, this will not happen. But again you can have really high refreshing the total 1080p scaled mode.
What’s more, the ultra high density of the pixel of this 8K panel should mean that it is approaching the native panel of any combined by the entire total number than ever before. It matters, because most 4K monitors with 1080p modes that you can buy now were a bit disappointing thanks to the slightly pliable and fuzzy image quality in 1080p mode.
You will have this 8K mode all the time for incredibly crunchy fonts on a desktop computer and lots of space for tools and applications. Or maybe 8K 120 Hz games will be quite profitable when Nvidia introduces a recent RTX 6090 for about 18 months.
Ok, all this is still a niche. However, when the basic refreshment of 120 Hz Plus is all possible for really highly widespread modes, this panel certainly has greater potential of versatile computers and games than existing 8K monitors.
But when exactly you can jump on 8K fashion, you probably don’t cry? Boe plans to raise the mass production of the panel this year. This should mean monitors that can be bought at the beginning of 2026.
It will be captivating to check if any of the huge brand monitoring brands will jump on the panel and spend something that some or all these alternative modes I mentioned. It will certainly be an captivating addition to the high -class game monitoring market.
