LG joins Sony and TCL in abandoning 8K TV market - Lemmy.World

8k is such a waste. Most content people watch isn’t even 4k

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.

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.

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)
