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

For a lot of people most of their content isn’t even 1080p. Plenty of people watching DVDs and many TV channels only broadcast in SD.

Display technology has long outpaced content delivery.

I still watch most streaming like YouTube and twitch on 720p because I really don’t see nor care about the difference to 1080p.
It’s crazy how different people experience things. I find it annoying and less pleasant to watch YouTube at 1080p since they downgraded the bitrate and locked it behind premium. I actually almost always watch at 4k or 1440p60 even on a phone screen just because of the bitrate.
It really is always crazy to see the different perspectives. I've actually unsubscribed from a channel for the bad quality youtube put on all their 1080p videos. I'm also still eagerly awaiting the slomo guys bluray release of their greatest hits.
