One thing, my current 4k TV/monitor does a pretty nice job upscaling 1080p. It, of course, doesn't look as good as native 4k, but it looks considerably better than 1080p not upscaled. So even without native 8k content, there is some value in being able to upscale 4k content to 8k.
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
Put them into Microsoft Windows as mandatory enabled or something.
Honestly, at 3m (10 feet) I can't see the pixels at 1080p. My corrected vision is no longer 20/20
