The biggest advantage 4K has over 1080p is the color depth/saturation. Blacks became incredible with 4K. I’ve also noticed a distinct improvement in eliminating motion blur. The resolution improvement was not truly apparent to my eyes upon upgrading to 4K.

Therefore, I expect more of the same improvements with 8K, which will basically amount to incredible color saturation. As far as resolution is concerned, what I’ve read is for a person to gain benefit from it, you’re talking about a minimum screen size of 80” and up, which is one of the reasons the initial prices are so astronomical.

For instance, with 4K, you really need a minimum of 50” to notice the resolution difference.

” you’re talking about a minimum screen size of 80” and up”

Wouldn’t it be dependent on viewing distance?

Colors and blacks don't really have much to do with the resolution. Those will be other build factors in your TV. If you want really black blacks, the Kuro was one of the best. Plasma display. 720p if I remember correctly.

On a side note, were you actually running true 4k? Or did your source only output 1080, with the TV upscaling? In which case you aren't even running 4k, you're running a 4k display that has squares of 4 pixels for every actual pixel.
