Not surprising when 4K content barely exists and 4K streaming is a premium. Plus, 4K is more than enough for the household. I can see 4K being prominent for the next 20 years.

8k was always very silly.

It’ll come back if/when we improve compression or dramatically improve infrastructure. Right now a 4K stream doesn’t even come close to the quality of a Blu-ray.

Who wants 8k?

7k Abs. And we guarantee just as good a workout as the 8k folk.
7’s the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man, that’s the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin‘ on a branch, eatin‘ lots of sunflowers on my uncle’s ranch.

Without a way to reinvigorate TV buying, I wonder if some of the players are going to get out of the market? They’re already trying to put ads on their TVs to turn a profit, doubt they would be doing that unless sales were down. Going to be a wild few years for PCs and TVs I think.

What is the point of 8k when most tv shows and movies aren’t even filmed in or support that format.
Try watching any 90s or 2000s show/movie on today’s TVs and see how it looks like a day time soap opera.

Give me 120fps at 4k on youtube and I can be happy for the next 30years

I feel the same way about razors. A single blade worked fine. Then came two, and it was pretty neat. Then 3…ok. Then 5? Come on now. Pretty soon it’ll just be a bladed mask formed to your face that you make one pull down and you’re done. There’s a point where you just gotta say, “Enough.”

I’d like to see 4K vs 8K on a 100-inch TV set now that prices have come down so much.

The 8K TV was essentially the new version of the 2010s 3D TVs. Remember when everyone was hyping those up?

not true 4k or 8k with out alot of pos processing and such.
gaming 4k means nothing. graphic still look like crap

8K belongs in movie theaters.

Here in Germany and supported stations on terrestrial, satellite and cable are still stuck on SD unless you pay extra. Public broadcast is still 720p

More than 4K only makes sense if you want home viewing to expand the field of view beyond the conventional 30°-40° of a movie theater. Basically, do you want IMAX at home?

Would of made sense if streamers were pushing the tech forward, but instead everyone is making quality worse.
Netflix on pc in browser? You get 720p with noise.
Youtube 4k? Its 480.
Everything is compressed af with jpg artifacts.
Blacks has laddering you can climb.
Everything is optimised for mobile phone viewing.
Anything that doesnt fall into a static shot gets massacred. Even cinematography optimised for less movement and more quick cuts.
Check out any animated spiderman trailer on youtube – you cant tell whats happening. The only way to view that was to download the 6gb mov trailer from destribution channels (I wish there was a aite hosting those)
Tv makers stopped advancing the number of channels a tv can handle when playing files to combat piracy, if you have a file with 30 subtitles, your video will lag because every track is a stream. Embeded ASS subs cannot play without lag so you need to convert to extracted SRTs.
And every time you walk by a tv section in a store, they’re playind 4k60 hdr dolby vision mov files without compression.

At 100+ GB for a single movie how the hell did they think it would work?

Bigger screens and actual HDR support is what consumers want.
Also real Micro-LED or much better OLED (brighter, more durable, proper RGB stripe, higher refresh rates/VRR for gaming, etc.).
Higher resolution is much further down the totem pole.

Good, can we focus on audio instead for a while? So that I can hear whispering and then not get my ear drums blown by an explosion.

Huh? What 8k TV market? Is the 8K TV market with us in the room?
LoreBadTime on
The motives are really simple: price, usefulness beyond certain distance, no content in 4k without paying a liver, fake 4k bitrate and a lot of lossy compression.
Might as well invest in better microLED
