EWWWWWWWWWWW

It's a technological constraint.

1920x1080 progressive is all you need. I'll only ever buy Blu-ray in my lifetime.

>gooks broadcasting sports in 8k
>US still broadcasting 99 percent of sports in 720p
Not fair mane

>It's a technological constraint.
more like profit margin constraint.

There's no visible benefit after 4K.

Depends on viewing distance and frequency properties of the image. Ie, there are some things that would have moire patterns in 4k but would look normal in 8k.

5K is just wider? Would it be worthwhile finding a TV with 5k for movies? Like at 16:9 1080p and 4K all movies end up letterboxed which I always see as wasted money

They'll still be letterboxed because the letterboxing is part of the video.
Unless you can set overscan on your player.

Yep, welcome to part of the stupidity that is BD specifications.
Now if you're watching DVD you might be okay because they use anamorphic widescreen (a 4:3 aspect ratio video that gets stretched to 16:9 or 21:9 when played back) but all your BDs and UHD BDs are 16:9 videos with black bars included top and bottom to fill out the 1920x1080 resolution.
So if you play it back on a wider display, like a 21:9 display, your player needs to be able to zoom in so the top and bottom letterboxing gets pushed off the screen, this is known as overscan.

I clearly remember people saying that after each step forward.

HD is a meme to stop the proletariat seizing the means of video production.

It's a lie.

"5K" is normally 5120x2880.
It's essentially 4 times QHD, and a mid-point between 4K and 8K.

I don't remember anyone saying that from DVD to BD.

Why the fuck still uses optical disks?
Just download it silly.

And unless it is pirated the letterboxes are still part of the video.
