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.

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’ve got a 43" 4k Gigabyte Aorus display. 144hz+freesync, dual hdmi+usb-c+DP with a hub and all that. It’s IPS, they had an OLED but it was 48" and more money than I could justify at the time.

Definitely recommend, but 8k would be so much better. I know this article is primarily “no 8k TVs” but the panels are used across many segments and I fear they will no longer have manufacturering setup for 8k for desktop use either at this rate.
