    No, my point was that people don’t need higher resolution TV’s, they need good transcodes that don’t look like shit.

    Streaming services run at bitrates/codecs that look like dookie compared to bd rips even on my shitty $100 sceptre 1080p Amazon special TV.

    Who the fuck is gonna buy an 8K oled panel when no ones willing to conveniently provide content that looks good on it, or even content that pushes their current TV to its fullest extant?

    Its not like anyone can afford a GPU that renders modern games at a playable framerate to that either.

      Ah, ok, that’s fair. I agree that codec/bitrate choice has made a lot of ostensibly ‘4k’ content look like crap, so why have 8k when many providers/internet connections won’t even cover the requisite detail to drive 4k in streaming.
