Thats what the cable and satellite options I have are doing. But they call it 1080 high def.
I do see some 4K channels, I wonder what the actual resolution of that broadcast is and what the bitrate is.

iirc the Olympics will be shot in 8k, I would expect all the other sports events to follow
Most cable tv is under 1080p still lol.Does cable/streaming even do 8K at this point? Seems like this is just marketing bs at this point.
Speaking strictly of resolution, 4k is not a huge difference compared to 1080p. Especially at 55" or under. It's HDR that makes these new displays worthwhile, not resolution. 4k is already overkill and has minimal content in anything but games. 8k will be utterly useless.I remember hearing this exact argument, almost word for word, the year I bought my first 4K television. This and the notion that the jump from 1080p to 4k is not big, and that the majority of consumers wouldn't be able to see the difference between the two.
Isn't everything going to look worse on these displays because almost all the content will be scaled up from 1080p/4K?
And you are going to hear it again.I remember hearing this exact argument, almost word for word, the year I bought my first 4K television. This and the notion that the jump from 1080p to 4k is not big, and that the majority of consumers wouldn't be able to see the difference between the two.
They barely even sell 1080p TVs anymore, that's why. I highly doubt the majority of them are being used for content >1080p.Adoption rate for 4k in the US will surpass 50% this year which is faster than 1080p. So, even though people complain about these higher and higher resolutions being "useless" or "fucking stupid" they are being purchased by people quicker and quicker.
Ask if they do 4k. Most do not. Hopefully HBO Max will offer it later this year.Does cable/streaming even do 8K at this point? Seems like this is just marketing bs at this point.
1080p scales perfectly to 4K and looks quite good. same would be the case for 8K.
This is nothing like trying to scale 480/576/720p to 1080p.
Wouldn't that largely be because those are the only main options? Just like smart TVs probably have greater adoption rates. There are very few non-smart TVs on the market and therefore any of them bought will make the adoption rate high. And plenty of people use their own streaming devices and forego using the smart features of their TV.And you are going to hear it again.
A few years from now when 8k TVs overtake 4k you will see 16k resolution TVs being introduced and people will say how "useless" 16k resolution is and 8k is just fine.

you dont expect the next world cup in 8k and winter olympics in 8k?
All you basic plebes are going to be so jelly of my 8k tv. Maybe I'll let you come over to watch some anime someday.

I'm sure they will be. How will they be delivered, though? Certainly not through cable or broadcast signals.you dont expect the next world cup in 8k and winter olympics in 8k?
Yeah, you won't get any image distortion because it scales perfectly, but again, what's the point? There isn't much content natively at 4k, let alone 8k, so what is the benefit you gain from this? Being able to see smaller details with more clarity? Which probably requires a certain combination of viewing distance/display size for the differences to not look miniscule1080p scales perfectly to 4K and looks quite good. same would be the case for 8K.

8K will be the new 3D tv. It is hard enough convincing people to adapt to 4K with so little content let alone 8k
The thing is, tv's alone don't drive these things. Gaming won't be able to run 8K games for a while, and I don't think there is much of a desire for developers to chase that. Netflix and Amazon have been trying to push 4K with their original content, but very few of them seem to be both 4K and HDR. I'd rather get to a future that standardised and pushed HDR and 4K first.That's always how it is until it isn't. 3DTV was a divergence, not a successor like 8K is. They're not really comparable
Under 85"?? If anyone pulls out one of those silly seating distance charts I may go on a rampage.Is 8K just a huge farce at anything under 85"?
Should I be waiting? because this sounds tempting. But honestly if 8K is all just marketing (as many people seem to claim it is) then Im ready to buy my TV for next gen next month.

I hope that's the case. I'm finally going to upgrade to a 4K OLED this year and I'm hoping that 1080P content doesn't look worse than my current display.
Haha yes! Push those new standards, do it, I'll be several steps behind picking up awesome last-gen stuff.Good, this means ill be able to afford a decent 4K TV this year.
Even a bleeding edge PC can't run everything maxed out at 4k60, and that's without ray tracing. It will be a very long time before even a $3000 PC can run games at 8k, like, many years.There will be 3 next gen games running at 8k this fall and they all will be variations of Minecraft.
Unless you have money to just throw away or a bleeding edge PC, there is no advantage to spending that much on 8k now given the lack of content.

Society will have already collapsed from climate change before we get thereBy the time that a $3000 PC can do that, the industry will be trying to push 32K per eye (so effectively 64K/2).
