BOE has showcased a massive 110-inch 16K TV which is a great and refreshing alternative to projectors. The TV prototype was presented at the SID Display Week 2023 in Los Angeles. The BOE 16K TV offers greater display clarity over the lower 4K and 8K models. The prototype offers a four-fold increase in pixels above an 8K screen and 16 times the pixels count over a 4K TV.

The unveiling of the new BOE 110-inch 16K TV coincides with the Chinese company’s 30th Anniversary celebration. The SID Display Week 2023 brings together a rich collection of cutting-edge resolution screens. The prototype is about the same size as home theater projectors but with a more powerful 16K resolution. The leading home theater projectors cannot boast of anything near a 16K resolution.

The prototype has a pretty underwhelming maximum brightness of 400 nits compared to up to 1,400 nits from the best projectors and TVs. The frame rate on offer for the BOE prototype is 60Hz while some current TVs offer up to 120Hz. The prototype also comes with an LCD panel as opposed to an OLED, QLED, or Mini-LED. It has to be stated that this is still a prototype and could possibly not make its way to the market.

The BOE 110-inch 16K TV prototype has 16 DisplayPort cables which look quite clumsy. It would seem that the flipside of a 16K screen trumps the benefits. There is a little sprinkling of models/ prototypes with 16K screens.

The BOE 16K TV prototype may have a long trajectory if it is to transit into a production model. It is however interesting that the TV could be a stepping-stone to more developed models. Maybe in the nearest future, we will get a true 16K model with excellent features and few drawbacks.
