When a single movie is hundreds of gigabytes it doesn't fit on existing home media standards and the marked for physical media is dying too much for anyone to make a new one. Plus, streaming services are definitely not gonna jump on that kind of bandwidth usage. Unless they compress the shit out of it and lower the bitrate at which point while technically 8k you would probably see a decent 4k Bluray exceed the quality.
I used to heavily disagree with this, but since I started ripping both 1080p and UHD Blu-rays losslessly (AKA, just dump their decrypted contents) Iâve been blown away with what can be done in 1080p â my most recent example would be Severance. My only gripe is that it isnât HDR10+ but I can live with it.
8k would be useful for giant screens that people are going to see up close.
Also, if your target is a lower resolution you can shoot wide and adjust your framing later without missing your target res. Probably most useful for nature programs.

You mean a video wall. Can't put all the resolution in your viewpoint; either it's too high res, to the point it could be 4k and you notice no difference or it's too wide and you have to look around.
I for the life of me don't even care about 4k. 1080p to me is as good as it gets, sometimes I watch shows in 720p and occasionally even 480p if it's a significantly smaller file.
The higher the quality, the more fake CGI and special effects look. All the insane contrast, colors, details, it's all so extremity fake and unreal. Plus, when you're used to 4k and see something in 1080p, it looks shit. If you're used to 1080p, it looks great.
I hear you there. BUT the only time I think resolutions beyond 1080p actually do make sense is in a computer monitor. When you sit super close to something like that, lower resolutions are more obvious. I have a 23 inch 1080p monitor that I use in my setup. To me, text and whatnot has always felt a bit "blurry" and dissatisfying compared to my 13 inch 1080p laptop screen at the same viewing distance.
On a TV setup, the average person sits much too far away to notice a difference in 1080p vs 4k. You have to be sitting only a few inches away to notice, like in a computer setup. At that level, it really DOES make a difference imo. So in that regard, companies like Apple seemed to understand this when they have different resolutions for their "retina displays" depending on their products. At least, that's how it was like 10 years or so ago with them. Idk how they do things now.
Viewing distance is the important bit in the "resolution wars"...not simply increased resolution for the sake of it.
It makes sense for VR headsets or Theatre screens instead of your regular laptop or mobile displays but⌠if youâve a large TV which also acts as a monitor then the pixel density can also see an improvement from the current 90-120PPI. I would give it a go for movies but not for YouTube, now whether those movies are action film or 3D porn is upto you~
8k is a screen resolution, so his New Yearâs resolution is 8k as though maybe they just upgraded their tv/monitor (or theyâre just rubbing it in as 8k is a higher res than most people have), where normally a New Yearâs resolution is something where someone is trying to improve themselves in the new year (such as walking 10k steps every day, losing 10lbs, eating out less often, or learning a new skill, etc)
I thought maybe it was because 8K is mostly useful for TVs that are like 77" and larger, and for 99% of people 4k is higher than they'd ever practically need. Also, good luck driving video games at 8K res. Thus it is a shit post.
