    Even 4K is not yet easily available . I mean except from AppleTV plus that all content is 4K and it’s part of basic subscription, every other streaming charges much more for 4K content, most people don’t want to pay more every month for 4K

    So 8K is just a distant reality that content makers are not really wanting to happen

      4k is really cheap now.

      having said that, I have a4k TV and practically only use 1080p for everything.

      videogames? performance mode

      movies/tv/YouTube? 1080p for better buffering.

      We’re still limited by what the HDMI and DP cables can throughput so it’s not like 8k tvs are even ready. Nobody wants an 8k tv if the cables can’t even transmit full fat uncompressed signal.
