For PC you can actually see the benefit between 4K and lower resolutions.
It's for TV where it's likely useless to have 8K
I am on a PC... You mean a smaller monitor closer to my face?
Yes, that's what I am saying, for a monitor you can easily see the difference between 4K and lower. While for a tv if I remember correctly for a 55' over 2 meters and something from the TV you can't tell the difference between 4k and 1080p
