If you want to have an 8K consumer-focused TV on shelves, you'll need the 8KA logo which can only be stamped on if you meet the minimum specs in resolution, frame rates, luminance, and codec/interface support.

• Input Frame Rate: 24p, 30p and 60p frames per second
• Display Luminance: More than 600nits peak Luminance
• Codec: HEVC
