I would be fine with an 8k TV if there was 8k content and they were affordable. I haven’t purchased a TV in over a decade however and my TVs all work fine so I’m not even in the market
I still sometimes have hiccups with streaming 4k content. I'd rather save bandwidth than stream 8k.
Until the pipelines are bigger or compression algorithms improve, I'd rather pause at 4k.
