Yes they can utter rubbish!8K doesn't need to exist – no one can see it at a comfortable viewing distance. 100% pointless. End of conversation.
What happened to the Philips.....I just bought the Samsung 55Q950r and I can say it’s amazing in 8K! Even the smaller screen size doesn’t matter.
I think what Slinkywizard meant, is that a 65" TV is the largest most UK households will buy, and at the relatively close viewing distance of the average UK lounge, most people's eyesight won't be good enough to see the extra detail in an 8k image over a 4k image.Yes they can utter rubbish!

Personally I agree with this, 8k seems a waste of bandwidth until 100" wall mounted screens are the norm!
However, despite this I would see 8k screens becoming popular in the coming years, eventually replacing 4k screens almost completely. I think there will be two reasons for this: Firstly 8k will no doubt eventually bundle some other image improvements with it, such as 4k bundled HDR. And secondly Joe Public in their ignorance will simply think 8k is better than 4k, especially when the 8k gaming consoles come out at the end of 2020.

...8K is a number being used to sell televisions to a market that wrongly believes more is always better. That is all. At some point it's all we'll be able to buy but even then there will be little if any native 8K content available, and when there is no one will be able to tell without being told it's 8K...
This is so true. And they will still be watching Standard def TV channels in vivid mode and maximum motion processing and thinking that it looks fantastic because the guy in curry's told them it does.The masses are going to flock to the shops and buy 8K devices, then straight down to Tesco and raid the DVD £3 each titles.
How may I ask did you watch 8K?
Perfect.Whenever I want to watch a Ken Loach film in 8K I just look out my living room window
I run a 133" screen at native 4K, and I am telling you, no one would be able to tell the difference, even at that size, at the 10' viewing distance I typically sit. How do I know? Because at 4K there is detail I cannot see till I move closer to my screen. At 133 inches!

There's impetus, then, to add '8K' to the sticker on the telly in the shop – it'll shift units as it constitutes the latest and greatest tech. But let's not kid ourselves it will improve our viewing experience in any way. And let's not forget the absolute AGONY producing a film in 8K would add to the production chain of any movie or show. CGI right now is typically in 2K because rendering times are astronomical. Why would any movie studio add 16x to the rendering cost just because the Samsung is stiving for advantages in market appeal?
8K is pure nonsense and should be roundly ignored.
Absolute Rubbish, in Singapore would see 8k and 4k sets side by side, the difference was obvious. although in Singapore I didn't see many small 65 inch tvs, they were 80 inch plus with some 100+ in some shops. An 8K with good content is like looking through a window and not knowing it is a tv...
That's not a particularly critical demonstration......Absolute Rubbish, in Singapore would see 8k and 4k sets side by side, the difference was obvious
This made me chuckle, it so true .The masses are going to flock to the shops and buy 8K devices, then straight down to Tesco and raid the DVD £3 each titles.
stay with 4k then and feel happy...You saw a TV in a shop. A SHOP where 8K is what it wants to sell. I am talking about my DAILY experience with resolution on a screen that is vast in scale, from a projector able to deliver something up there with the very best 4K images imaginable. With all due respect, I trust my own eyes and my own experience more than I do a stranger's anecdote about pixel-peeping in a heavily biased sales environment.
Via YouTube on my Samsung Q950r standard settings which is the factory settings on it. The difference was massive!How may I ask did you watch 8K?
I am watching the 8K in standard settings not vivid I haven’t changed my settings because they are so good!This is so true. And they will still be watching Standard def TV channels in vivid mode and maximum motion processing and thinking that it looks fantastic because the guy in curry's told them it does.
8K is way better than 4K I can confirm.You saw a TV in a shop. A SHOP where 8K is what it wants to sell.

Decided to upgrade to a Qled TV and I am so glad I didn’t nothing wrong with my screen at all. Sold the Philips yesterday.What happened to the Philips.....
