Even there it's wasted. There is just no place between pixel density, size and distance for anythng much over 4k. Humans can only see that sharp. Except maybe video walls, where you don't see the whole image at once.
That’s what I meant re: megatrons (the giant video replay screens they have in a lot of big sports arenas)
Viewers are so far from those that 8k is not helpful. Also the cameras in the arena would not be able to make 8k video.
