Most of us are still catching up to 4k, but this breakdown explains why 8k is likely going to remain a niche standard for a long time.
I think the biggest hurdle for 8k isn’t even the displays or the content, it’s the sheer data pipeline needed to move all those pixels around without lag.
Okay so the latency here is the actual problem. Everything else is symptoms. it’s like trying to run a live concert through a dial-up modem.
8K is definitely interesting, but I agree that it still feels more like a niche upgrade than something everyone needs right now. For most people 4K already provides an excellent viewing experience, and the benefits of 8K depend heavily on screen size, viewing distance and available content.
The bigger question is whether content creators and streaming services will actually adopt 8K widely enough to justify the upgrade. (kirupa.com)
@Kirupa Is this AI Bot bait ? Aside from the URL there is nothing about monitors, fun experiment?
The actual article is here: Thinking about an 8K Resolution Future! 📺
It seems to have somehow found a temporary backup and posted it.
That’s a tough sell.
I’m not sure “latency” is the root problem so much as the sheer volume of data.
