    Diminishing returns.

    4k on a 75in and 8k on a 75in isn’t a big difference.

    Not to mention most streaming content is 1080 for bandwidth and tvs upscale to 4k. So while there is difference, it’s hard to quantify upscaling, and even if you find a store with displays, they’re being fed native 4k.

    If you go to rtings.com or a similar site you can compare specifics and see that there is advancement happening.

    It’s just not like back in the day when they could keep doubling resolution.

    Diminishing returns. It’s already hard for many people to see the difference between 1080p and 4k. The difference between 4k and 8k is almost nonexistent at significantly higher storage costs.

      Depends on your setup. On my 100 inch projector screen you can immediately tell when it’s not 4k. And low bitrates (like Netflix) become especially noticable with rubber banding and loss of sharpness.

    fullHD already looks pretty good

    actually transfering all the data is a problem, like my wifi struggles even with streaming fullHD sometimes, so 4K is just unusable (+ you need a more expensive screen to actually show the 4K which I don’t have either)

    Honestly I’m not sure I completely agree, we’re pretty close to a perfect TV with new LED technology.

    But maybe we’re talking about a next stage here, like true 3D or something else like smell? I’m not sure what the future will be, but TVs look pretty good to me and I’m not sure what perfections the current ‘variant’ needs.
