8K when it comes out on a widespread level will be pretty much indistinguishable from 4K to the human eye except on the largest of screens.

There will almost definitely be no 8K discs because of the decline in demand for physical media coupled with the massive production costs it would take to produce them so when we get 8K it will be digital. But even then with the slow bitrates of streaming it probably still won’t look as good as 4K discs.

The only thing I could think of is some technology that no one can predict at this time. I don’t think it’d have to do with resolution because we’re pretty much at the highest level of that that would make a difference to the human eye. Something else entirely

8K already came and went bro
almost everyone stopped making 8K TVs

Insane to me that some people actually bought those. Like what are you even going to do with that

8K would be overkill for most movies shot on film anyways

literally what even is on 8k en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_film_and_television_productions_aired_or_released_in_8K

Yes. Same way CDs were. Technically you could make a physical format with higher audio quality than CDs, but by the time we got to that point it wasn’t financially viable because there was no market. There’s no financial incentive for a company to invest in a newer, better format.

For me it is, anyways. I’m more than happy with blu ray discs but having the option for 4K films with HDR/dolby vision is incredible, there have been so many wonderful transfers over the years but also a lot of s*** ones too
