Can I connect the MacBook Pro to an 8K-TV (like Sony KD-ZH8) ?

Hi,

the TV supports HDMI 2.1 input. Can I connect a 2018 MacBook Pro to it and have the full 8K resolution?

I believe Macbooks can only drive 8k displays over DisplayPort, including the newest M1 Max models.

Are there any TVs with DisplayPort support? I doubt it...

No. The 2018 MacBook Pros can not support 8K. the highest resolution a 2018 MacBook Pro can support is 5120-by-2880 which is 5K.
