I have bad eye sight, but also 8k probably never need to be a thing on a tv, more impressive for stuff thats closer to our eyes like VR headsets probably.

How close are we to the games industry finally giving up the ghost and walking away from VR?
Yeah, we’ve gone as far as we need to in the flashy boom boom section of entertainment. Good characters, good writing, and fun gameplay were always the cornerstones of good movies and video games.
I mean at least not until we all have 150" TV's. Makes sense for movie theatres though.
Well, when NFL broadcasts on 720 or 1080i, an 8k tv isn't going to make that look better. Even a prime subscription only gets you 4k.

Maybe they should stop forcing this antiquated TV License scam. For those who don't know, the UK pushes for a TV License to watch Live TV though most people don't watch BBC anymore. Though I bet they will try to find a way to include Netflix and more in the TV License. EDIT: I agree the BBC should be funded though they are not a perfect entity and state controlled media is very bad especially for journalism. I think they are going about advertising the license in the wrong way and there is a lot of evidence of harassment from letters and visits to get a tv license even if you don't have a tv!
