Why are they pushing the 8K meme already? 4K still hasn't completely replaced 1080p and they're already trying to replace it.

>4K still hasn't completely replaced 1080p
Lol completely? It hasnt even replaced it at all on any medium.

morons will buy it

Still worse than CRT

They need to push people to buy new things. Not growing is the same as regressing for any company

Where the fuck are they going to go after 8k, i heard 99% of films made in the past 100 years hit diminishing returns when you digitize the film frame by frame.

Unless there are exceptions to the rule, such as movies made on very large format filmstock, its not like they have any non digital 16k or 32k content that would be worth a push past 8k.

4k is mostly unusable from a productivity standpoint on a screen smaller than 27 inches, so following that logic too, the minimum 8k screens for monitors would be around 50 inches, for a screen you sit 3ft away from.

The point im trying to make is, lets say hypothetically 8k becomes the standard by 2025, i honestly think for non HMD displays or medical imaging or special niche use cases 8k might be here to stay to post 2050, 16k just isnt needed on small screens.

it did in mainstream porn, I think

with 4k TVs being cheap it's gained a lot of ground. problem is i don't think any channels are broadcasting 4k and there's not even much 4k content available on streaming services so until that changes it'll never really take off. 8k has basically zero content so anyone that actually buys an 8k screen is going to be watching mostly 1080p with some 4k content and it's going to look fucking horrible trying to upscale 1080p to 8k

Same with 5G vs 4G. Would prefer it if networks made sure that everywhere was covered with a decent 4G signal before they pushed 5G. It's an excuse to jack up contract prices.

I've had a 4K TV for two years now and I don't think I've ever put a 4k source through it.

>Still only getting 720p over the tv cable

Yeah... i'll wait until 32k to buy a new tv.
>inb4 user, stop being a luddite, just buy netflix, amazon prime, hulu and, hbo etc etc subscriptions for fullHD tv

>all of the poorfags ITT
holy shit kill yourselves

>he's triggered other people aren't falling for the extreme consumerism meme
Keep slaving away all day for Mr. Goldberg and spend all your money on shiny new toys with no purpose!

What else am I supposed to do with my money, besides saving it, which I already do? KILL yourself, poorfag.

It makes sense that eventually the industry would settle on some standard.
480i was the TV standard for like 60 years, until 720 and 1080 came along. Nobody seems to care that much about 4k content vs 1080, because the difference isn't that noticeable unless you've got a display taking up 80% of your FoV.

fucking /thread right here

Go do fun things. Try to develop a life/sense of self worth beyond the number in your bank account.
A first class transoceanic plane ticket is over $5k, if you feel the need to blow money on something.

>mainstream porn
What is that even? I'm pretty sure the mainstream is jacking it to 480p excerpts on pornhub. 4k porn is for addicts and pirates.

Can confirm

They could have released it when it became standardized with 4k. They know they need to release things slowly inorder to charge rich people a premium for getting it first.

You think its that hard to get a chinese slaves to cut a 146 ppi sheet at 60" for an 8k tv instead of 15" for a 1080p laptop?

They need to sell something. Its that easy. I hope projectors replace this shit

wish movies and games would stop focusing so much on resolution and increase framerates instead. i'm tired of blurry action scenes and choppy gameplay
