Most Americans are out of money and can't find good jobs. We are clinging to our old TVs and cars and computers and etc. for dear life, as we hope for better days.
And what can you even watch in true 8K right now? Some YouTube videos?
But but but, don't you want better hardware so we can read your brain waves to automatically show you something you're in the mood to watch while we save that info and sell it to someone who wants to control your nervous system later?
Calm down there Edward Nigma.
If I were in the market for a new monitor and I could get an 8k monitor for under $1000 I'd consider it, but right now if one of my monitors broke I'd just be getting another 4k to replace it. The price isn't worth it for me to have high DPI.
For TV my only justification for my 4k TV is that it was free.
