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.

And yet people want 4k screens on phones and 13in tablets...

I'll take an 8k computer monitor though. In fact, send two. Kthnx.

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.

Gotta get people to replace their tvs somehow so dangle an "upgrade".

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.

lol but you can have FHD the same size as that tv lmao

Also have you seen 720HD with 10 bit color? Looks better than 1080p when it was released. Seen 1080p 14 bit color? Looks better than 4k when it came out.
