8K is available yet 4K hangs on like a disease that killed someone dear to you. Why?

If you could record that, you'd see resolution fluctuations in the picture because the Human eye can't retain a specific Resolution fluently.

When I go to thee docteur, the only thing I care about is that it retains a normal IOP. I say the hell with fluent resolution recording.

It's all about money.
Re-release everything (VHS - Laserdisc - DVD - Blu-ray - Ultra HD 4k Blu-ray - Stream 8k HD.... etc) at higher resolution in 6 - 10 years span so consumers will buy again and again and again....

The whole point is you get to see your favorite films as close to a 35mm print as you can

why do you think it is the wrong thread? In the 70s/80s when tapes were king the tech that we have today was not possible. Yes there is a benefit to the studio like sperezmore said, getting us to re-buy the same film every generation but the simple fact is that today an 8K player would be impossible (imagine streaming or DL an 8K file or having to flip the disk every 30 minutes) and prohibitive in cost. Like Brightstar points out we also reap the benefits, if that was not the case people would not upgrade.

Of course it's about money. But I think even studios see the writing on the wall. From here on out there will be no mainstream formats, some would even argue that blu-ray never made the mainstream (but that's total BS).

I'm sure there will be 8K, but I'm kind of wondering how they would propose a format for it within the next 10 years - and by then I doubt there will be *ANY* push to conceive a new physical format.

Agree.

My prediction,

No physical media in the future (10 to 15 years). Everything will be data, stream and download with virtual servers at a price for consumers.
