Five years later, 8K still way too much

It's November 2021, so exactly five years after this other post I wrote back in November 2016: Isn't 8K too much?

Today I see this article online: "8K will grow very slowly, even slower than we thought"

So even five years later we see those forecasts, 8K will still grow very slowly. (Rolleyes)

Not surprised one bit.

Even five years later, not only there is still hardly any content in 8K, absolutely noone in the TV/display consumer market is complaining about 4K being too "low-res" or "pixelated", or is there?

And more importantly, not just with 4K or 8K, even if we were offered something as ridiculous as 256K, we could still have that avalanche of pixels displayed with poor contrast, color inaccuracies, and/or undesirable motion artifacts. Higher resolutions will not solve any of that.

HDR (High Dynamic Range, so better contrast ratios, and wider color gamuts) is the actual space for true picture quality improvements. Once with top-notch static image quality, then the more bandwidth we have, the more frames per second the sources should send us, and the more of those frames the displays should show us, for better motion clarity.

If anything increase the frame rates of the sources and of the displays. But how about we stop the BS with resolution. We don't need no higher resolutions (at least not yet.)

So yes, even today, November 2021, five years later. 8K is indeed way too much.
