Laptops The world's best 8K monitor
8K on a desk sounds ridiculous until you edit 8K footage on it. I tested the sharpest monitor I've ever seen — and the price that comes with it.
About this video
33 million pixels, three feet from your face. The first true 8K desktop monitor promises pixel-perfect 4K timelines with room to spare — at a price higher than my first car.
I calibrated it, graded footage on it, and ran it next to a 4K panel to answer the only question that matters: can your eyes even see the difference? The side-by-side footage surprised everyone in the studio.

Creator tip: at 32 inches you need display scaling to read anything — set your OS scaling before judging sharpness, or everything looks tiny and wrong.
