Why 8K TVs Aren't Worth Your Money
This week, the nonprofit 8K Association published a white paper touting the high-res format, with its sense of “immersion” and “super-realism,” and also unveiling a global educational and promotional campaign aimed at wider adoption of 8K content, products and services.
The report identifies a number of potential opportunities for 8K, which represents four times the resolution of 4K and 16 times that of Full HD.
But TV in the U.S. market may not be one of them, at least not anytime soon. Regardless, the latest research from the Consumer Technology Association predicts that 8K for the home will remain a dedicated, premium, big-screen device for the foreseeable future.
