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Leading edge tech has always been this way, expensive, initial limited use, the technology in it will be superseded.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.
Exactly my thoughts.
People whining and complaining that technology is evolving, it's incredible... Whether it is useful or not doesn't even have anything to do with it, as even when it's not useful it will always have a positive side effect.
I don't even understand what ppl are doing here when you don't like new technology, however useful or useless it might be, plus such things are completely biased. If I was rich I would buy it anyway. When my father bought our first computer 29 years ago it cost 5000€!! We were never rich btw, my father always understood the importance of technology evolving and has always wanted new technology. And tbh... A computer back then wasn't much of use in a home environment, but we learned... And technology evolved... End of story tbh....

I wonder if the difference between 4K and 8K would even be noticeable. I mean, there has to be a resolution threshold where our eyes will not see a difference, right ?

Movies in 8k? Hollywood is going to be fighting back if not right out refusing to produce home videos in 8k. We are talking about half the resolution of actual film (celluloid). TV's have always been an attempt to copy the movie theater experience but only with aspect ratio. Now the tech is cheap enough to go after resolution as well. It's only through the improvements of manufacturing that we are able to see all this happening so quickly, one right after the other. The production queue from prototype to product has been drastically shortened. Waiting for holodecks.

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
Why not rush out and buy an 8K TV? Look how many people rushed to buy 1080P TV's and we still don't get 1080P broadcasts. The majority of broadcasts are either 480i or 720P these days. Even the movie industry hasn't gone full 1080P yet. There's still movies being released in 720P.
Fact is, there aren't enough people with 1080P and higher TV's for broadcasts or movies to abandon the lower resolutions. They won't really start to utilize the higher resolutions until the TV's supporting them start to dominate the market. So, when we start to see 4K TV's in the $200-300USD range (for those in the US, other markets see different "favored" price ranges based on their own currency), we won't see 4K broadcasts.
