Lmao, the pose on those models next to it.
little use in an 8k tv if there is no convinient content
They should make 12K 3D TV with a virtual headset running Windows 11 Special Teams Edition.
That will bring customers!
You forgot to add extra ai that increases processing load to tell you what you are watching in real time.
8k was always going to have issues and likely die.
When it comes to TVs most people don't like sitting too close. The bigger the TV, the further back you want to sit. Anyone who's sat in the front seats of a cinema can attest to this.
While the human eye doesn't have a resolution, we can work out an effective one from our ability to discern angular differences. Combined these, and the 'optimum' resolution for a TV is actually just under HD. In the real world, the extra pixels of 4K help, particularly after compression.
Basically HD is good enough for uncompressed video, 4K helps with compression artifacts. 8k offers nothing new.
