Even if the cost premium wasn’t an issue, who has the geometry in their living room to be able to take advantage of an 8k resolution? Even 4K is hard to take advantage of in a living room setting, you need a huge tv with your seating set up very close to it.

I agree. I have a 65'' and 4K is not a huge improvement over 1080p at 10 feet.

For 8K to make any sense you'd need a 100'' at least which is massive and prohibitive.

IMO HDR is a much bigger improvement than 4K.
