And yet people want 4k screens on phones and 13in tablets...
My viewing position is about 330cm/11ft from the wall where my tv is mounted. That works out to roughly 80” television for 4K viewing pleasure. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-size/size-to-distance-relationship
8k would be ridiculous, and the compression would be a significant factor.
Remember when ISP companies went after people who used over 500GB in a month? I remember.
I want a new fucking 3D TV. I'm so mad every single manufacturer gave up on that.
Yes, a lot of 3D content was awful, headache-inducing, and bad... But tons of it was done very well and looks amazing.

I hear anything at or above 8k resolution negates the need for anti aliasing entirely... But I feel that my pc would would be running at or around 10-15 fps for most games I would care about anti aliasing on.
Nice in theory, definitely can't handle that many pixels in reality.

Uncompressed 1080 is already approaching the eyes resolution limit, when viewing it in a living room environment. 4K is close to the monitor usage limit.
The reason that 4K seems better is often down to bandwidth and colour depth.
There's zero benefit to an 8K TV. An 8K monitor might be useful, but is still well into the diminishing returns curve.
There's still some ground to be made up with colours and frame rates, but resolution is effectively maxed out already.
I found quite some 4k movies being more noisy than their 2k pendant. So whats the point?

Gotta get people to replace their tvs somehow so dangle an "upgrade".
Makes sense:
No Media support.
And also on Monitors and Tvs i don't care if it's a. 1080p or 1440p of 4k give me 1080p
