Rumor has it: LG wants to release consumer 8K-tv next year
It is rumored that LG is about to release an 8K-tv (Super Ultra HD) next year already. Next month on CES they would already show a prototype 55" model. While it is unknown what the precise features and specs will be we do know that the screen will get a 55" panel with a resolution of 7680x4320 pixels.
That's 33 million pixels on there, fur times the number of Ultra HD and in fact 16x the number of pixels of your Full HD screen. So that is a 160 ppi, 55-inch 8K display. LG woulds be opting a rgbw-layout meaning that next to the red, green and blue subpixels a white subpixel would be added as well. As a result the screen would get a 500 cd/m² brightness.
Puny Full HD TV ;)
By itself it is not the first time that a manufacturer puts an 8k Tv on display, in fact LG already had a 98" prototype version on display. But this is the first time it is a consumer sized 55 inch model.

It is innovation, sad to see people complain about it.
Leading edge tech has always been this way, expensive, initial limited use, the technology in it will be superseded. Glad that it happens though, we would be no where without it.

you're a douche if u buy an 8k tv and spend the super high price when there is zero content. Anyone with a brain would wait some years for the prices of 8k to come down and for there to actually be content. No reason to rush and pay a higher price when there isn't even any content to watch on it.
Can probably get a 4k OLED tv for the same price as an 8k LCD
True but you can argue the same about 4K screens. There are a small handful of videos on youtube that support 4K, and I know of nothing else. The amount of load it puts on your GPUs isn't worth it - I'd rather go with 2K and some AA (assuming the 2K resolution wasn't enough).
I find using a PC for anything that isn't gaming to be annoying if the resolution is greater than 1080. If you happen to make everything scale nicely, I just don't see the point - a little bit of pixelation isn't that big of a deal when I'm reading text.

Sure it's innovation. But it's not worth the fuzz. It's like reading about carbon nano fibres, nice to know they manage to do such stuff, but surely it's not changing my daily routine. I'm glad I invested the extra 50% in a 1080p TV back in the day, it's still standard these days, with the best tv I get is 720p content, and that's basically upscaled stuff.
