    4K is overkill enough. 8K is a waste of energy. Let’s see optimization be the trend in the next generation of graphics hardware, not further waste.

      Granted! Everything’s just internal render 25% scale and massive amounts of TAA.

      For TV manufacturers the 1K/4K/8K nonsense is a marketing trap of their own making - but it also serves their interests.

      TV makers DON’T WANT consumers to easily compare models or understand what makes a good TV. Manufacturers profit mightily by selling crap to misinformed consumers.

      Divide resolution by 3 though, current gen upscale tech can give that much, 4k = upscaled 720p and 8k = upscaled 1440p
