Fuck 8K. It's just a way to sell more TVs (and create loads of e-waste while pretending to care about energy consumption!).
Really, we need more temporal resolution, not spatial resolution.
We've gone from SD to 720p to 1080p to 4K and now pushing for 8K... Yet movies are stuck at 24fps, and 'next gen' console games seem to be heading back down to 30fps (after seeing a fair bit of 60fps in the cross-generation period)
Stop doubling and quadrupling the pixel count every few years... until the current pixels are at least animating fluidly.
