While it could be a factual error, Reddit points us towards an interesting comment on the LG Display blog last week that Claims Apple an**unced it Will Release a new iMac with 8K Display Later This year. Apple, of course, has **t made any an**uncements about a new iMac since last year, and 8K displays are **t expected until 2016.
"It has become clear that Japan is planning to launch an 8K SHV test broadcast and then promptly restructure the UHD service. Apple has also an**unced that they Will Release the ?iMac 8K? with a super-high resolution Display Later This year. Korea is also preparing to offer an 8K service demonstration at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. LG Display displayed a new beacon of the 8K era by revealing their 98-inch 8K Color Prime Ultra HDTV at CES 2015."
VESA's new DisplayPort 1.4a standard paves the way for future displays at 7,680 x 4,320 pixels, but Apple has **t made any an**uncements about releasing a Mac with an 8K display. Apple's highest-resolution Mac is the iMac with Retina 5K Display, which has a resolution of 5,120 x 2,880 pixels.
While This report should be treated lightly until further information surfaces, it still proves interesting that LG Display would make a public-facing comment like This on its website. The most likely scenario is that LG Will eventually remove or modify the comment **w that it has been put in the spotlight.
