I'll take an 8k computer monitor though. In fact, send two. Kthnx.
One thing, my current 4k TV/monitor does a pretty nice job upscaling 1080p. It, of course, doesn't look as good as native 4k, but it looks considerably better than 1080p not upscaled. So even without native 8k content, there is some value in being able to upscale 4k content to 8k.
lol but you can have FHD the same size as that tv lmao
Also have you seen 720HD with 10 bit color? Looks better than 1080p when it was released. Seen 1080p 14 bit color? Looks better than 4k when it came out.
I can't see ever owning an 8k display unless it's like 200 inches... The ones that are available now are too expensive to be a justifiable purchase and there's not really an abundance of content that takes advantage of the format.
Makes sense:
No Media support.
And also on Monitors and Tvs i don't care if it's a. 1080p or 1440p of 4k give me 1080p
I mostly use my TV for gaming and watching old movies and anime.
The former task will be unviable at 8k and make my GPU cry, and the latter one makes 8k unnecessary.
I really don’t see the point in 8k displays right now.
Honestly, at 3m (10 feet) I can't see the pixels at 1080p. My corrected vision is no longer 20/20
Put them into Microsoft Windows as mandatory enabled or something.
You already need a 3080 to even approach modern 4k and unless some new media/disk format, it just ain't going to happen and isn't worth it.
3070 is enough for most stuff at 4k 60 medium. Not all the newer stuff though.
