4K already cannot see pixel even when close up the screen. 8K, IMO, is only suitable for really big screen....like 75" and above.

Considering Netflix use 25Mbit for 4K, So 8K 50Mbit lor. Bear in mind this is also highly compressed video....

Bluray at 1080p already 30 to 50Mbit/s .

Cannot. Because your eyes not capable of 8k resolution.

Got. First upgrade your eyes to bionic eyes 16k resolution first.

Do blind test. All will failed. LOL.

Because 4K TV is now cheap. And because you can't buy bigger TVs at 1080p. Not that people buying to upgrade to 4K in droves. i just bought one recently. Because old TV screen cracked. Tu jer.

Even Netflix, the best source of 4K movies/tv shows on the planet...the 4K contents are ....so little.

PS: I did try close up to check pixels on my 4K TV when playing 4K videos. Can't find pixels.

And you pluck your strange magical science from....??

Render in HD only? Sounds a bit unbelievable...PS4 can render Horizon Zero Dawn with HDR in real time. Despicable ME cannot do 4K with a 20,000 computers rendering farm OFFLINE? if complex scene like Avengers CGI maybe need more power...but most animation are hardly photo realistic. But i dunno lah, i am not expert. Just doesn't seems logical.

3D porn better. Been there, try that.

Doesn't matter. If you watch 55" 8K TV source 8K, from a distance of 8" (normal TV viewing distance). You won't be able to tell the difference or zoom into the pixel.

btw, i don't think there is real 8K TVs anyway in consumer market. SHARP's 8K is a fake 8K TV, but it does have some very pratical technology to improve the image quality.

Much? It's really very little 4K contents in Netflix. Youtube got a bit more i think, but mostly like documentary. Not movies or TV shows (which will be illegal anyway).

yeah..rite...

betul jugak, i miscalculated.

But they will probably compress the hell out of it to fit into 25Mbit anyway...

This link doesn't support anything what was being argued.

And as it says, you can't measure your eyes resolution like that as it doesn't works like that.

It's 4K panel sticth together lah...like that count meh.

Share with you guys.

Got chart here about viewing distance and perceivable difference between 4K and 1080p together with TV size.

But yeah, most TV nowadays 4K. When buy new TV, just make sure you buy 4K with HDR and preferably Android TV.

But i do notice there is difference at 8 feet from 4K TV comparing with 1080p, in general. Just not that big of difference, or until can zoom into pixel.

4K TV very cheap lah..RM 1.x k can get liao. Not for rich people. Rich people buy iFong.

You meant broadcast? Like our local DTV only broadcast 1080i max....Dolby Digital also dun have..

Streaming is on internet, Currently only NETFLIX and Youtube has any sort of 4K contents...but even these are highly compressed.

A 4K Bluray disc will have bitrates from 80Mbit/s to 128Mbit/s. Netflix is only 25Mbit/s, so you can imagine the reduced quality.

I think broadcasting is currently impossible and nowhere in the world has 4k broadcast.

No use also, coz Netflix not gonna increased their bitrates anytime soon. They already kena from ISP left and right for using too much bandwidth. Netflix currently using 15% of the world internet bandwidth.

Yes....really big screen. Not really needed for Home...unless you have a Cineplex room in your mansion.
