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.

Eyes are funny anyway, you would a big screen to notice the difference between 4k and 8k, if the differences alone were purely resolution and night brightness/contrast etc which can often be the visual case.
Of course, the bigger screen, the further back people sit, kind of pointless
. If you have the screen filling most of your vision, the actual visual acuity is only excellent in the central part of your vision, further out your eyes cannot distinguish resolution so easily.
I'm not saying 8k is a bad thing, just that its benefits on a 55 inch screen (for example) would be hard to distinguish.
I guess you'd have to sit right up to the screen then, in order to really surround your view. But the screen isn't curved, so that won't offer the nicest visual effect. Besides, if you really want that surrounding of a view, get an Oculus Rift. Maybe only 1/8 the resolution (or 1/16th per eye...) but more immerse and a hell of a lot cheaper.

I'm not saying 8k is a bad thing, just that its benefits on a 55 inch screen (for example) would be hard to distinguish.Why not? Nobody forces anybody to buy it! As for me, I will be getting a 75"/79" 2015 4k TV, then when 8k comes out, I will most likely get a 85" 8k TV "After about 2yrs" for my living room then relegate the 4k TV for the bedroom.
If people have the money, space and more importantly, the need for productivity. I ask, why not?

Would be nice if providers like sky pull there fingers out there A Holes and broadcast TV in 4K before manufactures start running away with these don't make any sense resolutions.
