I like how the article immediately tries placing the blame on the consumer. When in reality it’s the companies putting the cart before the horse and then being shocked when it doesn’t work out.
Hopefully, just all 4K panels get replaced with 8K panels and it doesn't cost anything extra and in like 5 years when the rest of the technology catches up and especially video bitrates are increased then the transition can happen seamlessly but we're not going to pay for it's, it's just going to have to be a free upgrade. This is really the last doubling we need for the human vision system and it is already pretty far into the diminishing returns aspects. Since we are going to need 8K for VR that doesn't suck, might as well make that the standard for the next century and we won't ever have to bother with 16K panels
