What's the point? Even if you pay extra for "4K" streaming, it's compressed to hell and the quality is no better than 1080p. What are you going to even watch on an 8K TV?

    If memory serves, last year's summer Olympics were televised (to some degree, anyways) at 8K, even if it was just a technological flex or test.

    I can't imagine the bitrate was high enough to make much difference in quality.. But I don't know what the technical details were.
