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 is effectively dead
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.
Technically, all TVs have 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.
