And that does not state that 300Hz is limit at all.
I explained why people though that 60Hz crt were close to "flicker free" (they used artificial pixel light persistence).

You completely read what you wanted to and failed to read my post correctly
I was talking about STROBE LIGHTS
Only the last sentence was about CRTs
Read my post again, properly

Portuguese generalist tv channels still transmit in SD (576i, even though IPTV service is through fiber...)
No 4K content in sight.
Shows like Walking Dead have pretty ****ty quality for 1080p.
So, yeah...
I wished the whole industry moved as fast as technology.

They just seeking new ways to get the money out of your wallet even it's all bull crap there still plenty who buy it.
I stick with my 1080p TV for couple of years before i even concider to upgrade.
And for PC well have 1440p and looks great my card can handle it fine but i doub if its 4k the drop in fps will be huge so 8k rediculous. There are no videocards on market that even can handle 4k at 60 fps steady let alone 8k.
Juts a marketing trick so people upgrade again thats capitalism for yah.

No one beyond proof of concept is ready for 8K
Cable providers are already charging out the nose for HD content which for the most part isn't much beyond 1080P. Movie studios aren't producing 8K media for distribution and barely 4K because storage starts to become iffy. ISP's would love to see full on 4K and 8K since their bandwidth requirement would shoot astronomically up and they have a choke hold on already severely over priced per MB pricing.
Even if you woke up tomorrow and suddenly ISP's were super cheap, and 4K and 8K content and storage was everywhere and media was dirt cheap, people would still have to dole out for expensive 4K and 8K screens and monitors.
It'll happen I imagine just not soon and not without ISP's and the industry getting their act together otherwise it may never.

lol 8K Quad UHD can the name get any longer? whats next 16k quad, quad UHD? lmfao
Funny how they have 1080p look blurry like they did back in the day of 480p, i don't remember 1080p getting worse over time. all these ultra high resolutions are getting stupid only really useful on massive displays and you need to be fairly close to notice the difference anyway.

I would totally want 8K now after properly seeing 60" 4K curved TV with real 4K content at store demos. It totally blows FullHD and 2560p out of water.
While it is technically not fully realized NOW, in about 5 years, I would predict it takes it place. Same thing with 720 and 1080 p format back then.
And if Japan is really going to push 8k, it will actually benefit 4K faster since downsampling 8K to 4K will be really good, and probably push price down on 4K while leaving 8K highend until 8K transmission and media format becomes available and mainstream.
Once we the right content, then the technology will be in demand, then with mass adaptation, prices will fall. Really need that 4K/8K killer app!
I can say now I WANT 8K even if only for digital photography reasons. Its really amazing if you demo the correct content on it.
For those countries still slothing it at less than 1080 steaming cable or TV or pay for movie service, they would probably jump straight to 4K or maybe consider 8k infrastructure instead since that cost will also allow scaling down and set them up nearly future proof (until 16K is released).
Would not make any business sense to go from SD to FullHD when everyone knows better formats are in development.

Oh please Mr. Hilbert, Please do 3/4 titan-x's(Overclocked) with this monitor and post some benches, oh my, JEEZUS.
LOL, 8k would bury any video card ever made alive that we have currently.

while it's nice that there's progress being made, I think 8k is useless outside the cinemas right now. I think that 4k TV's are useless for that matter until you start moving up to a 80 inch screen or bigger. My cable provider has yet to move up from 720P/1080i to full HD.
That being Said, I've just registered to guru3d after years of being a passive reader of the comment section to announce that I just ordered a 28inch 4k monitor!
