8K is available yet 4K hangs on like a disease that killed someone dear to you. Why? - Page 7 - Blu-ray Forum

Why is 4K talked about so much when 8K technology is already available? Can't we skip this over and avoid the inevitable while we can? 8K broadcasts are already starting in Japan. The hilarious thing is that we keep talking about 4K like it's the future when in fact 8K is already the present.

4K only has 6.220.800 more pixels than HD.
8K has a whopping 29.454.336 more pixels than 4K!

So as you can see 8K is a way bigger upgrade over 4K than 4K is over HD. By adopting 8K and skipping this temporary 4K nonsense we would automatically future proof ALL motion pictures filmed EVER, from Lawrence of Arabia and 2001: A Space Odyssey to newer releases like The Master and various IMAX films. Not to mention the fact that we could also shut down the debate of whether various 35mm films such as super 35mm ones benefit more from a 6K scan than a 4K one, since 8K obviously covers 6K. I blame the uninformed masses who are obviously satisfied with inferior technology and are ready to be milked for profits by corporations who would of course rather have them gradually buy into several technological steps when we could have it all right now.

Adopt 8K now!
8K master race! 4K and 2K = simpleton peasants.
