Man's grasp exceeds his reach.
In this case, he literally has no choice.I still don't understand how people play with multi-monitor setup. The bezels are a dealbreaker!
Isn't 8K totally worthless for the average consumer? I thought our eyes can't see more detail than 4K.

That's 16k actually for normal 20/20 vision. It's not the limit for displays though, we've had this argument for 10 years now with 1080p, but you are not meant to see the pixels. Having more resolution than you 'need' is advantageous.8 K is the max if our entire periphery is covered. 8K 90FPS is kind of the end game for engineers.
Much like 4k and HDR, only when Sony figures out how to do it on their console will it actually bring benefits to gaming.Isn't 8K totally worthless for the average consumer? I thought our eyes can't see more detail than 4K.
I don't understand wouldn't 8K be 8 times 1080P?He starting an 1080p game is really absurd. Makes you think of how little 1080p can be.
That doesn't make sense.
Wouldn't 8K be 8 times 1080P?
I'm which case it should take up a half of one TV screen rather than a quarter. Because if it takes a quarter of one screen then with 4 screens that's 16 times 1080P.

Unless 8K is 16times 1080P I'm which case why call it 8K when the reason 4K is called so is because it's 4 times 1080P.
Why call it 8K then?Its 16. Its 4x times the 4k resolution which is 4 times 2k resolution.
Its bonkers.
Had that happen to me for a bit when watching "Planet Earth - Mountains" on a 1080p projector for the first time.8K is so dense that the flat 2D images can start being interpreted by our brain like 3D [a mild effect]. Several people reported that while watching 8K demos.

Because 1080p is talking about the smaller (in widescreen) height of the screen but 4K about the wider 4000 odd pixel part of it depending on your reckoning.I don't understand wouldn't 8K be 8 times 1080P?

Some parts of the TV and broadcast industries are considering leapfrogging 4K in favour of 8K. The next 5 years will be interesting imo.I remember seeing 16K at SIGGRAPH with basically tons of 4K monitors with the bezels removed to make a rather seamless 16K image. Consumer 8K may seem like a complete far off area in computing, but really will be just around the corner.
All I can think of is how 8k could accommodate, like, the entire NES library.
EDIT: I wrote that as a half joke, but if I can still do basic maths, it's actually close to that. There's enough screen estate to fit 540 256x240 games in there, NES library is around 700 titles.

I find resolution a bit overrated in terms of visual impact once you get past 1080p. I'd much rather have improved lighting, physics, textures, etc. first

Agreed.I think it's the opposite actually. Aliasing is as big a part of IQ as any of those things you mentioned. You might have the most beautiful lighting but what use is it when you have aliasing and shimmering everywhere which breaks the immersion. High resolution gives games that smooth "Pixar" look and just brings the entire image together.
The human soul can't really appreciate anymore than 480i. 8k is a waste.
Can't wait for 16k monitors.
What will happen if he set the resolution on 16k and downsampled to 8k?

Imagine in 500 years, 300k.
We won't have displays. They'll be integrated into the cerebral cortex.Imagine in 500 years, 300k.

This just proves we need bigger monitors.
A 40" running 16K with 4x4 SGSSAA should do nicely. Doesn't have to run at more than 24fps either.
