I would like an entire wall that is essentially a UHD flat screen...while it wasn't playing movies it would constantly be playing landscape backgrounds like in Weyland's personal quarters on the Prometheus...all Hail Sir. Ridley Scott. hail!

Modular screens would make that possible. But expect to pay a pretty penny for those.

How has this thread filled 10 pages without being taken down

Dont need 4K & 8K.

Blu Ray is plenty good enough.

You would need a 100 inch screen or bigger,

to get a Good 8K resolution.

4K and 8K cost alot more than Blu Ray.

You have that money laying around, I don't.

[stonesfan129]

I'm a simpleton peasant who is okay with standard Blu-ray. I don't care a whole lot about 4K unless the mastering used is significantly better than what I can get on Blu-ray.

[avs commenter]

I'm happy with 4K. And if I upgrade one of my tv's in the next couple years, I'll most likely get another 4K one

There is no sense in talking 8K until there is plenty of 8k content and 8k services to support it. ATT Uverse doesn't even broadcast 4K content. You can mainly get 4K content through streaming apps/services like Netflix, etc.

8K tv's without 8K content is still fool's gold for now.

I would change it to "until there is any good 8k content"

but other then that I agree.

There is some 8K eye candy out there but currently its mosty displaying in HDR only SDR.

I like this example as a good one with good music choices if you got 13:40 to demo.

The Power of Colors 8K HDR 60FPS Demo - YouTube

One needs to be content with the greatly broaden amount of 4K HDR content out there instead of worrying about 8K.

8K over 4K is obviously a waaaaay bigger leap forward than 4K is over DVD. We're talking over 19 million pixels more here. That ain't no chump change. Yet for some mysterious reason there seems to be the least debate about what should be the most demanded upgrade by far. The 4K people have done an excellent job at brainwashing people into thinking that it's a major upgrade while convinently disregarding 8K.

Remember the first PC's, 1Mb of RAM and 20Mb HDD. They said we will never need more than that....It's OVER KILL! You can never say that about Technology, and I say we are headed for Fiber Networks to access all the Data Servers where 8K+ is Stored!

This is completely different. We can always find a use for more storage and for greater processing speed etc etc etc. But with resolution you're coming up against limits of what the human senses can detect. Sure, for archival purposes let's have immensely high-resolution scans made and saved. 99.999% of people who don't have an imax theater in their basement will not be able to see a difference between 4K and 8K on their home TVs. Like, I care more than your average consumer and even I find most differences between HD and UHD moderate at best on a 65" screen. Most people either can't tell or don't care the difference between DVD and BD, can't tell or don't care when motion interpolation is on, etc. For the home consumer there are massively diminishing returns the more we increase resolution.

Yes, you side stepped what I said.

You dont NEED 8K !!!!!!

to get a good 8K Picture, you need a HUGE-----TV Screen.

Is your Wall Big enough for a HUGE TV Screen.

What are YOU going to say when they come out with 12K Hmmmmm ???

[jess1581]

I'm barely finding justification for going 4k to even fathom an 8k format... 8k much like 3D belongs in cinemas, not in your home.

I'm just saying with Technology you can't say anything is enough. I try to buy the best for what I can afford, and the Technology that suits my needs. Then it should last a while, my Sony 65" 4K UHD TV is good until I need that Sony 75" 8K!....I'm sure there are plenty of people out there with Big Wallets for that 12K!
