I mean that's mostly a limitation of the display, not the internet. You can already play videos with a higher bitrate than your internet if you download them beforehand.

Yeah, but don’t you need better data speeds for the machines that make the display? You would think that the engineering of it would take a considerable amount of complex calculations to figure it out.

Not that I'm aware of. If you're using massive simulation to explore design space the limiting factor is usually computation, not transfer. And you don't have to transfer that data often, even so. We transmit way more data in media.
