Think your 4K laptop (http://www.engadget.com/2014/06/03/asus-gx500-gaming-laptop-hands-on/) or 5K iMac (http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/22/imac-with-retina-display-review/) is hot stuff? If specification developers have their way, both will soon be old hat. The Video Electronics Standards Association has unveiled (http://www.displayport.org/pr/vesa-publishes-embedded-displayport-edp-standard-version-1-4a/)Embedded DisplayPort 1.4a, a new format that lets all-in-ones and laptops use 8K screens (http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/04/lg-8k-tv/) (7,680 x 4,320, if you want to be exact). The technology uses compression to squeeze more data into the video feed, and it can divide displays into two or four segments to help the pipeline cope with all those extra pixels.
