How about a projector? There are no 8K projectors

Well that's not technically true...

But obviously not affordable.

I'm not sure if they ever shipped it to any retail customers. I'm a JVC projector owner so I kinda follow JVC projector news. The higher end JVC PJs are used by Boeing for flight sims:

JVC accommodates that use case with things like extra chassis mounting points to allow the projector to be mounted securely in a dynamic environment. This looks like it may have been an early POC in native 8K for Boeing.

I reached out to JVC's simulation projector sales department directly and confirmed that this projector is not discontinued. It appears that Projector Central has incorrect information.

Note that it took a few weeks for JVC to get back to me.
