Ray tracing killed any hope of making 4k the norm. I mean true4k not that NVIDIA DLSS bullshit everyone always raves about. So yeah, 8k never happening.
TV manufacturers really need something to sell new TVs cause size and resolution really hit a wall, over 75" I'd just consider a Projector and there are some very good ones for less than $1500
the only way 8K will become widespread is if TV manufacturers stop making good 4K screens, and make their top end 8K only. basically forcing 8K TVs into homes.
8K is not even remotely a resolution that anyone actually needs.
played Pubg on my 4k 240hz monitor the other day and was suprised how bad the image clarity is for everything thats not within 10meters of the camera. like 30-40meter away.
The details are there but there are just not enough pixxels. I see native 4k, upscaled to 8k to solve this. So, when there are 8k Monitors and i have pretty much every game with modern Upscale techniques, i would be interested in a 8k 500hz panel.
500hz or more so i can do 200hz+ native and use Frame Gen for the silky smoothness while having no noticable inputlag.
