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

The only market for 8k is movie theaters and megatrons. It’s absolutely not necessary to have it in your tv in your house. And it’s also insanely expensive to get the proper hardware to drive it at full resolution.
Most cinemas are 2k as well I think
Even your 4k Netflix is mastered in 2k and uprezed. Often shot in 6k to allow for zooming in in the edit
These days 12k at 14-16 bit is the norm.
