i agree with you. i am sticking with 4K for now. there's no blu ray players or movies out in 8K yet. and to get 8K it doubles the cost of a 4K setPersonally, I'm sticking with 4K for the time being but...

8K TV: everything you need to know about television’s future
More 8K TV options are starting to emerge, and prices are finally coming down. Now is the time to answer all of your 8K questions. Are you ready for the future?
Agreed. I didn't jump on board when 4K sets first came out either - saved quite a few bucks by joining later in the game!i agree with you. i am sticking with 4K for now. there's no blu ray players or movies out in 8K yet. and to get 8K it doubles the cost of a 4K set
I'm still waiting for something more than occasional 4K content. I'm also not a fan of the idea that even some of the 4K content is upconverted from 2K masters.
But you may be able to benefit from HDR and WCG at distance.
sammy's wall t'v is 8k. though i don't wan't to know how much it costs!!! along with some other smaller sets. but then again there's no hardware or software for it
movies studios from what i hear are filmimg in 16k sometimes.. i'm not holding my breath for 8k atleast there's software and players for 4K though not all of the discs look like 4K quality depending on how it's mastered. OTA is going 4K there bata testing in in areas now but damm it's taking em for ever!! i hear that 8K will take care of all of the screw up's that 4K has. the only screw up i see 4K have is lack of content. nothing can be done as far as PQ on a disc depending on how it's masteredSo what's next, 16K, 32K, maybe 64K?
With most broadcasters still transmitting "HD" in 720 I won't hold my breath for 4K much less 8K considering it's 7 years since 4K was introduced and there is nada 4K OTA.
each time i hear about all of these K'S my eyes are like how many K'S do we needSo what's next, 16K, 32K, maybe 64K?

i notice a difference. i will say i think it's how the content is mastered as well. i have some 4K blu rays that don't look like 4K
How the show/movie is produced makes a huge difference.i notice a difference. i will say i think it's how the content is mastered as well. i have some 4K blu rays that don't look like 4K
I expect that what's next is new display technologies, not higher resolutions that benefit nobody.
Most broadcasters aren't transmitting 720p HD. Only ABC and Fox are. That leaves CBS, NBC and CW doing 1080i. Your statement is false.
You hear misinformation. Outside of perhaps the scientific community, there's really no point in going to even 8K when the movie theaters (should they survive) still have lots of 2K and a few 4K screens. If the movie theaters don't survive, the practical high end will likely be 4K but a lot of the content will be viewed on small screens (or screens from Apple that aren't some nice round multiple of 1080).
Citing those three examples hardly consitutes "most". Out of the 80 channels my latest scan locked only 3 are in 1080. Far more are in 720 and that's not counting the 480 diginets. My statement is backed up by math, not an assumption.
Their backed up by math done on your anecdotal observations and that's not good math. The fact is that outside of Disney and what's left of Fox, pretty much everything else has always been 1080. This is true of HD OTA channels as well as HD cable channels.
