    Does anything useful even come in 8K at this point? I saw it as a spec last time I went television shopping, but it seemed like something that wouldn’t be useful for another decade.

      8K was always a lie. It’s impossible to tell the difference from 4K unless you’re too close, 4K already has more pixels than your eyes do.

        4k is about 8 million pixels. The human eye has a resolution of about 576 million “pixels” .

        I know what you mean with your comment, but the way you expressed it is factually incorrect

        I think it’s already the case for 1080p at the distance most people put their TV.
