8k is such a waste. Most content people watch isn't even 4k

My 55" 4K OLED LG is the single greatest TV panel I've ever looked at. I can't determine any individual pixels, the blacks are *black*. I have no issues with it in the slightest. And I see absolutely no reason why any TV of that size should need 4x more pixel density (or whatever it is).

I’ve never seen an 8k TV but ignorance is bliss as I’m still rocking 1080 and happy. I do see the difference at 4k when at friends houses but 1080 still looks good in my living room.

The only market for 8k is movie theaters and megatrons. It’s absolutely not necessary to have it in your tv in your house. And it’s also insanely expensive to get the proper hardware to drive it at full resolution.

Obviously they should have worked on upgrading our eyes before doing that /s

Now get rid of advertising on smart TV OSes

The majority of ppl watching a streaming service with shitty res and crappy compression would do fine on 1080p

8k is pointless. I even rarely use 4k on my 65".

They might look better but they're too fucking expensive

It's the next 3D. They try to expand in all dimensions. Bigger panels. Higher res. Higher bit depth. Increased contrast ratios. Stereoscopics. Higher refresh rates. Yet to find a real world use for anything over a 65" QHD at 60Hz 8bpp.

I bought my 1080p LED backlit 60" Vizio panel back in early 2015 and it's still going strong!

I'm more than content with 1080p @ 60Hz

I got a 1440p monitor, it's 32 inches, and predominately use the bigger area for coding

To this day, I I never owned anything higher than 1080

ITT: Poors acting like there is no in-between 720@59 and 8k@240. Guyuyyyzzzz achktually 1080p is all you need 🙄

I've downloaded some 4k content to do side-by-side with 1080p and it's a struggle to notice the difference.

Yeah, _most_ people aren't within 6 feet of their TV, and _most_ people aren't buying 100" TVs either. 8K is relevant for virtually nobody. A lot of companies _are_ successfully working on larger panels (I saw something about a 165" TV recently), so 8K may have a good place in a theatre room one day, but that still leaves you a lot of problems to solve first, and is _far_ from mainstream until _all_ of that becomes a lot cheaper.

What it feels like to look at a TV that's close enough to justify 8K:

Where would 1440p lie on this?
