I like "just because we can" type videos, but we still can barely do 4k, even on higher end PC's and let's not mention lol consoles.

Where have you been? People are playing at 4k already, even at 60fps for older games.
uhhh any high end (x70+) 10 series nvidia card comes 4k ready at playable framerates out of the box. Judging by the way benches and series jumps have been the last few years, we should have playable 4k framerates on mid tier hardware on the nvidia 11 series with high end hitting 60fps in most every game.
playable 4ks been here since maxwell for the majority of games dude.

that 1080p game running is insane. i know this is just a fun video to see what happens but 8K is crazy! i only just made the move to 1440p 60fps. I dont see myself upgrading to 4k anytime soon. Maybe in a few years. If next gen gpus are anything like the GTX 1000 cards then the GTX 1170 should have roughly Titan X(P) levels of peformance. So the 1180/1180 Ti/Titan Volta should manage 4K 60fps well enough. By that I mean absolutely solid 60fps not 40-60fps "playable" framerates. Of course games will get bigger and more demanding so it might be next gen of cards that make 4K truly affordable and easily achievable. 8K 60fps is too much to think about right now.

Come on now, older games don't count. CSGO doesn't count.
What is your definition of playable framerates? For me it is Ultra Settings with single GPU card with minimum frame rate of 60fps. Not average, not max, but minimum.

Increasing resolution does not get rid of aliasing or make things smooth. It only increases visual sharpness.
The reason CGI looks smooth is because every pixel takes into account sample quality.
Take Toy Story for example. There was no way Pixar was doing 8K rendering in the 90s, yet compare DVD footage to Blu-ray and neither version are full of jaggies.
click for higher res
Even today, a lot of VFX work is still done at a 2K resolution.

How About the Witcher 3?
Or Dying Light?
Assassin's Creed Unity?
Doom?
Not even Dead Rising? (at 8k resolution)
Check out dat Tekken 7 on a 1080. It's not even out yet. That's some future sight shit right there.
Loads more data is a simple google/youtube search away.
4k is here, you can do it at Ultra, at 60fps+, on a single card. Turn down a setting or two and you won't need an overclock.
Wait another 2-3 months and you can get a 1080ti for $400-$500 less.
You forgot to mention running Folding@Home and rendering an 8K video at the same time in the background whilst you're playing.
Only then is it payable.
Just the idea of 8K gaming is insane. I mean, most movies right now are finished on 2K DIs, with 4K or above DIs being rare. Oh, and they mostly film in 5-6K, because Arri and RED are still in the process of getting the first 8K movie cameras out there. The only thing that comes close just quality-wise is 70mm film, but that is sadly a dead format, except for Tarantino's one-time use.
So games pushing those ultra-high resolutions way faster than the movies do is very interesting indeed.

Are you trying to tell me that's the resolution of my current TV?
Fuck.

Why is that what's impressive? You have a cell phone right? Chances are at this point it's at least 1080p and would fit into that space or smaller.
Too much bezel and no HDR, he could have done it on 1 montior
I don't think you can actually buy that one (or any other 8K tv/monitor) yet. They are just trade show prototypes. Maybe in a year or two you could order a 100" 8K screen for $100k or something.
No shit, that screen isn't just 8k, it's also 120hz and HDR capable. You need eight DisplayPort cables to run it.
"No fun allowed"
Higher resolutions 8K tvs are a thing presented last year specially by LG. Not into consumer market for a few a few years though. Regarding those 32k, as far as was announced Samsung is working on a weird 11K. Still far from 32 but its a step.

Increasing resolution, although may be not to noticeable for screen users is going to be a huge part of VR. With 8K resolutions we'll be able to have great FOV without sacrificing image quality or having annoying screen door effect.
Image 8K RGB screen with 180º FOV. Good bye real World.

I'm playing every game in 4K60.
With low or medium settings in more demanding games, I assume?

Depends on how much of your FOV such a display fills. Human perception is quite difficult to quantify because it is fundamentally different than what we use in our displays. In many ways the way we reproduce vision is greater than what the eye is capable of but is necessary to trick our visual system.
A Titan XP can do 60fps in many games maxed out at 4K60. Wouldn't consider it that impressive though. 4K120 is what my body craves.

A 5120x2160 monitor or 4K at 120Hz.would have me set for the next 5 years. 8K is insane, that's 33 megapixels. DSLRs shoot usually 20 mpix.
Still downloading haha...

Have you even watched the beginning of the video? He know there is 8k,he even made a video showing us the 8k monitor in the trade show,but it's not for sale,no one one can buy it.Too much bezel and no HDR, he could have done it on 1 montior

That's because TS wasn't rendered at the resolution it was presented as.

I don't think 2D screens are going away anytime soon. Watching TV in groups is still going to be an integral part of society and that should ensure the future of TV past VR becoming mainstream.
From a broadcast perspective it depends. People need to make a choice to either develop 4K capability or 8K the cost of either is quite similar so many are looking at skipping it. Japan broadcast the Rio Olympics at 8K for instance and they plan to do the entire Tokyo event in 8K.
