Reply to comment by vinraven in 8K Industry Faces Challenge with New EU Regulatory Ruling by SalmonellaTizz

I think the only advantage to having an 8k screen is when the screen size starts getting massive. Like bigger then any home tvs. So it'll be good for say, theaters or big signage but totally useless in home.

Specially in developing countries where TV isn't even 1080p.. I've been saying this for a while, TV can't compete with streaming services/youtube if it won't even do 1080p, let alone 8K.

Most media consumption is now on phones or social sites as you listed by consumers

Theaters etc have been going downhill for a while and are the only true settings where these resolutions matters

Outside science and medical applications of course where the higher res the better

I keep seeing the phrase signage, but what does it actually mean?

Big advertising billboards. The TV style ones.

Not bigger, actually in case you'll use regular 55" TV as a monitor with distance of ~80 cm it's already pretty bad with 4K.

And it makes sense in case it's curved

You're right, distance is also a factor. Was thinking more along the lines of across the room. Although as someone who uses my 55" 4k TV as a monitor from across the room I couldn't imagine sitting that close to it lol. I think you have to be closer then like 5ft to notice the difference on a 60"tv.
