I've been watching some pretty stunning 8 and 12K demo material on Youtube. As pretty as those images are, though, I don't have any use for them outside of National Geographic-type content. I guess Sports are another outlet for those crystal clear images but I'm not into Sports. I spend most of my free time watching shot-on-film movies, with very little television programming outside the occasional news but I'm not sure if I want to see any of that material in 8K. Again, the pictures are pretty but everything looks like video, albeit high-quality video. I don't want back catalog films or TV shows to look like that. 4K is definitely the end of the line for me. If I ever get a hankerin' for more stunning footage of landscapes and fish, my LG OLED does a great job of conveying those images.
Frankly, I don't see a market for higher end displays outside of businesses who want to grab people's attention on sidewalks. Kinda like what places like Best Buy do on showroom floors. Nice pictures but not very practical in the real world (in people's homes).
Thoughts?
