A new study published in Nature by University of Cambridge researchers just dropped a pixelated bomb on the entire Ultra-HD market.

    Depends on the physical size of the screen. Which is why mostly only wealthy people with 90-inch+ screens really have ever cared about 8K. 4K is a noticeable improvement on a 60 or 70 inch screen, but the extra cost of content isn’t anywhere near being worth it for most people.

      Bigger TVs was always the point of higher resolutions. SD content looked perfectly fine on the small CRT screens we had at the time. HD made bigger screens possible, same goes for 4k.

      My last CRT was a 28” beast which was considered huge at the time. Then I got a 50” HDTV which was considered huge at the time. Now I’ve got a 77” 4k TV which is considered huge at this time.
