It’s crazy how different people experience things. I find it annoying and less pleasant to watch YouTube at 1080p since they downgraded the bitrate and locked it behind premium. I actually almost always watch at 4k or 1440p60 even on a phone screen just because of the bitrate.
Presuming you mean 4x 2560x1440 there, you can have close enough to that pixel count today; one of the things Dell released at CES this year was a 52" 6144x2560 display (U5226KW).
Since it’s intended to be a monitor, you get a USB hub, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, and other things you wouldn’t get on a TV, too.
I’ve been looking at it longingly, but I can’t quite justify that pricetag right now.
That would be nice for CAD work, but it would have to be an actual PC monitor, not a TV. 42 inch would be just about right for my desk. The only ones I’ve seen are 32 inch, which is too small to replace four monitors.
I think 50 inch is about the upper end for what can fit on a desk, but a 42 inch is the upper limit for most. I used to have a 42inch 4k monitor ($400), but it broke and got discontinued. It was basically a 42inch IPS TV display.
8k is such a waste. Most content people watch isn’t even 4k
For a lot of people most of their content isn’t even 1080p. Plenty of people watching DVDs and many TV channels only broadcast in SD.
Display technology has long outpaced content delivery.
Yeah, surprisingly DVD is still heavily outselling 4K bluray. Seems weird to me but I guess the players are ubiquitous.
I still watch most streaming like YouTube and twitch on 720p because I really don’t see nor care about the difference to 1080p.

Not on desktop use. Which is a market segment that is under served.
Would love to replace my 4x 1440p monitor setup with a 50 inch 8k TV setup.

Its a step in the right direction.
Not quite the aspect ratio I am looking for and the price is too eye watering.
What I want is an 8k 16:9 or 16:10 display for around double the price of a 4k display at the same price as a high end 4k TV (OLED or mini led)

I still miss that display.
8k gaming? In this economy? That’s a niche that less than 0.1% of people can even afford
Gaming would be done at 4k. It’s 8k for productivity.
I highly doubt they were talking about gaming.
