Funny thing is we are already at the point where we have reached the human eye’s resolution. Anything above 4k is probably going to be useless in terms of an upgrade to image quality and only be a marketing ploy.
My 720p TV reveals compression artifacts. Imagine how many flaws I could see in 8K.
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.
Ahhh... thank you for addressing my concern.

Yes, and some of us have a hard enough time even finding the remote control without wearing glasses.
For resolution, yes. What will be the next ‘breakthrough’ will be when movies, etc. are filmed with multiple lenses in an attempt to mimic 3d imagery.
