#8k

Is it me or is the #television hardware industry pulling an Apple and trying to manufacture customer need with this #8K bullshit?

4k feels barely real to me. I have a number of #4K blu ray discs and tbh I can barely tell the difference in the visuals on our recent high end Samsung 4K screen.

And with everyone streaming all the things anyway who the hell can ACTUALLY move enough bits for an 8K picture?

We already went through this silly dance a number of months back when our new TV demanded new cables because the old ones weren't 4K rates and couldn't push enough bandwidth, causing ALL KINDS of crazy ass edge cases with receiver and TV.

This just feels like a giant steaming pant load of a mess, and I feel for consumers. How is anyone supposed to navigate this?
